Apply technical knowledge of power systems to support field decisions and keep work aligned with engineering intent and project objectives.

Maintain quality oversight throughout construction by verifying that installation practices, documentation, and execution standards are consistently followed.

Review drawings and technical records to ensure field teams have clear direction and that construction activities reflect approved plans.

Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to align technical requirements, field milestones, and project deliverables across multiple workstreams.

Use project tracking methods and reporting tools to provide accurate updates on status, risks, and execution progress.

Travel to project locations as needed to support field coordination, observe construction activities, and strengthen communication between remote and on-site teams.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience managing or supporting high-voltage utility projects, including substations, transmission systems, and installation activities.

Strong background in project leadership within construction-focused or field-based infrastructure environments.

Solid understanding of project scheduling, milestone tracking, quality management, and construction coordination.
