About the Job

Manage to the project schedule and assist to ensure it is integrated and updated (Scheduling / Planner role is separate Project Controls currently staffed position. PM/PE duties are to ensure schedule adherence and integration and assist in planning)
Manage execution partners related to the scope of work (BE and Contractors)
Ensure transparency by facilitating communication and by utilizing tools (meeting minutes, action item logs, RFI logs, schedules, etc.).
Coordinate with internal teams, contractors, vendors, and regulatory bodies.
Monitor project progress, schedules, and budgets; escalate risks or delays in coordination with the project controls team and others.
Identify, report and mitigate where possible all deviations from scope or with cost or schedule.
Conduct site visits to ensure safety, quality, and compliance with design standards.
Support procurement activities, including RFIs, submittals, and material takeoffs.
Analyze information for potential risk or opportunity.
Lead team members supporting the scope of work.
Ensure compliance with company requirements, industry standards, codes, and regulatory requirements in cooperation with stakeholders.
Prepare reports, presentations, and project status updates for management.
Assist with testing, commissioning, and turnover documentation.
Monitor and ensure adequate tracking of procurement deliveries and subcontract execution.
All other necessary tasks needed to successfully complete a scope of work. The PM / PE is the responsible party but with coordination with the team members and stakeholders who have the technical or specific expertise.
Required Skills & Abilities
15+ years of qualified experience in the field and / or home office project execution (EPC experience preferred).
Ability to prepare documents using word processing (MS Word), and familiarity with presentation (MS PowerPoint) and spreadsheet (MS Excel) application software and BlueBeam or other PDF software.
Willingness to travel when needed and work from Project Construction site or to other Company offices and supplier sites, as required, to coordinate project schedule information.
A strong ability to act independently with support of management and other teams.
Knowledge of EPC project lifecycle and interfaces between engineering, procurement, permitting, QA, HSSE and construction
Understanding of project control management basics such as earned value tracking, P6 scheduling, and cost tracking and forecasting. There are project controls leads to perform these functions, but the PE/PM is the progress “owner”.
Energy services experience is desirable.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related fields preferred but not required if experienced.
Prior experience with gas turbines, HRSGs, and combined cycle plants.
Proficient in standard tools (Primavera P6, MS Project, etc.).
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent organizational and communication abilities.
Experience supporting field teams during construction and start-up phases.
Familiarity with risk management, resource leveling, and scenario planning.
Strong ability to manage detailed work.
Ability to work independently to achieve a “goal” without requiring specific directions. Expectation is that there will be full support for the PM / PE from principal PM and other stakeholders, but PM / PE would be required to initiate questions and relay information to get the support needed once established.
