The project is a 1.3 GW simple-cycle power generation facility located in Millersport, Ohio, being constructed adjacent to a hyperscale data center campus. The facility includes multiple power generation technologies consisting of Solar Titan 130 gas turbines, Siemens SGT
800 gas turbines, reciprocating engines, battery energy storage systems (BESS), substations, and associated balance of plant infrastructure.

The scope includes major civil, mechanical, electrical, structural, underground utility, control systems, and commissioning works required to support phased energization and turnover of the facility. Construction will be executed through a combination of direct hire and subcontracted labor supported by modularization, pre-assembly, offsite warehousing, and advanced work packaging methodologies.

The Workface Planner serves as a key contributor to construction planning and execution, coordinating workface planning efforts to support safe, efficient, and predictable project delivery. This role partners with engineering, procurement, construction, and subcontractor teams to develop, implement, and maintain Installation Work Packages (IWPs) and Advance Work Packaging (AWP) processes. The Workface Planner also contributes to Continuous Workface Effectiveness (CWE) initiatives, supporting the identification and removal of constraints and driving productivity improvements across project teams.

This position also supervises the Turnover Coordinator and oversees the systems turnover process for the customer. #LI-SP1
