  • Proven experience supporting EPC, Design-Build, and traditional utility delivery models
  • Demonstrated success managing multidisciplinary teams and large capital infrastructure programs
  • Experience representing utilities, independent power producers, developers, or large industrial clients

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the owner's primary technical advisor, providing strategic leadership and oversight.
  • Establish project requirements, manage technical risks, and support governance and executive reporting.
  • Review engineering deliverables to ensure compliance with applicable utility standards and industry codes.
  • Evaluate technical solutions to support safe, reliable, and cost-effective project execution.
  • Lead technical procurement activities by developing equipment specifications and evaluating vendor proposals.
