* Summary of Responsibilities:

** Build What Keeps the Lights On.  If you’ve successfully led complex construction projects and are ready to apply those skills to critical infrastructure, this role offers a unique opportunity to transition into the electric utility industry while continuing to lead large, high impact capital work.  The Team Leader – Grid Technology Delivery is a senior delivery and people leadership role responsible for overseeing a portfolio of grid technology and substation projects that protect, control, and modernize the electric transmission system.

This position is well suited for construction project managers who have led major projects, managed other PMs, or operated within a PMO, and are motivated to expand into the utility space.  You’ll be trusted with scope, schedule, cost, and risk, while learning the utility specific technical details with the support of experienced engineers and utility experts.

* Essential Responsibilities:

**## What You’ll Do
* Lead delivery of a multi‐million‐dollar portfolio of grid technology and substation‐related capital projects from planning through commissioning.
* Apply proven construction project management discipline to a regulated, safety‐critical environment - owning schedule, budget, quality, risk, and contractor performance.
* Lead, coach, and develop a team of engineers and/or project managers, setting clear expectations and delivery standards.
* Establish and evolve project delivery practices, governance, and KPIs—similar to a PMO or portfolio leadership role.
* Partner closely with construction, engineering, operations, and external contractors to ensure projects are safe, constructible, and execution‐ready.
* Navigate a regulated utility environment, balancing safety, reliability, and compliance while maintaining delivery momentum.
* Act as a change leader—bringing modern project management thinking, improving processes, and helping the organization adopt better ways of working.

* Strong leadership presence with the ability to influence across disciplines and organizational boundaries.
* Comfortable operating in complex, high‐accountability environments where safety and reliability are paramount.
* High change agility—willing to challenge the status quo, introduce improvements, and drive execution excellence.
** Education
* ** Bachelor’s degree in
** Construction Management, Project Management, Engineering,
** or a related technical field.
* An engineering background is a strong plus, but not required for candidates with strong construction delivery leadership.
** Especially Valuable (Not Required)
*** Experience in utilities, energy, industrial, or other regulated infrastructure environments.
* Prior leadership of a PMO, project controls function, or team of project managers.
* PMP, PE, or similar professional certifications.

* ** You’ll work on long‐lived, mission‐critical infrastructure
** that directly impacts communities and the regional economy.
* ** Stability with complexity**: fewer speculative projects, more disciplined execution,…
