Fossil Project Manager

Accountabilities

• • Lead the day-to-day management of selected gas generation development projects, ensuring activities are delivered on schedule, within expected costs, and against defined project objectives.
  • Lead Engineering & Construction participation in gas technology and commercial due diligence, assessing constructability, commercial commitments, site integration, utility interconnections, and preliminary cost positioning.
  • Evaluate competing gas generation technologies and configurations, including combined-cycle, simple-cycle, and peaking solutions.
  • Identify, document, and communicate engineering, construction, technology, supply chain, cost, schedule, and site-specific risks throughout project development.
  • Coordinate subject matter experts to evaluate balance-of-plant requirements, switchyard and transmission infrastructure, gas and water supply, wastewater, emissions compliance, and other project dependencies.
  • Lead Engineering & Construction participation in technology reviews, capital estimate development, project scheduling, preliminary engineering, and site configuration assessments.
  • Maintain comprehensive project risk registers and proactively identify the impact of development-driven scope changes on cost, schedule, constructability, and execution.
  • Support commercial offtake negotiations, permitting activities, and interconnection processes by identifying and tracking construction-related dependencies against regulatory and development milestones.
  • Partner with Integrated Supply Chain teams on RFQs, technical and commercial scope reviews, bid evaluations, and procurement activities for major equipment and EPC/EPCM contracts.
  • Lead bid evaluation and cost comparison activities, identifying material variances between internal estimates and contractor proposals and driving scope-alignment discussions.
  • Lead bid recommendations and contract negotiation activities to secure high-value agreements while maintaining acceptable levels of commercial and execution risk.
  • Develop project schedules, cost benchmarks, cash-flow models, and risk-adjusted cost positions to support project investment and sanction decisions.
  • Provide leadership with clear reporting on emerging risks, mitigation plans, project status, and residual exposure.
  • Drive improvements to project development processes, including stronger integration of project data, controls, and risk tracking within project management platforms.

  Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical or project discipline.
  • At least 8 years of experience in energy project development, large capital construction, or a closely related environment, with demonstrated leadership across complex, multi-stakeholder projects.
  • Strong experience delivering EPC/EPCM projects, including cost estimating, schedule development, project controls, and risk management for gas generation projects.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting procurement of major equipment and EPC/EPCM scopes, including RFQ preparation, bid evaluation, commercial analysis, negotiation, and contract award.
  • Strong understanding of gas generation project development, construction readiness, technology evaluation, and engineering considerations.
  • Ability to identify and manage technical, commercial, schedule, cost, supply chain, and constructability risks during early-stage development.
  • Proven ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, origination-led development environments and bring structure to evolving project requirements.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with confidence engaging executive leadership, technical experts, contractors, suppliers, public officials, and other external stakeholders.
  • Ability to influence and lead across organizational boundaries without relying on direct authority.
  • Strong analytical and decision-making skills, with the ability to translate complex technical and commercial information into actionable recommendations.
  • Experience with combined-cycle or simple-cycle gas generation projects across multiple geographic or regulatory environments is preferred.
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Project, Primavera, or comparable project scheduling and management platforms is preferred.
  • Strong ownership mindset, proactive risk awareness, organizational discipline, and ability to manage competing priorities.

  Benefits

  • Full-time contract engagement.
  • Opportunity to contribute to significant gas generation and energy infrastructure development initiatives.
  • High-visibility role with exposure to senior leadership and cross-functional decision-making.
  • Opportunity to work across engineering, construction, generation development, procurement, supply chain, and project controls.
  • Exposure to major technology evaluations, capital investment decisions, procurement strategies, and EPC/EPCM contracting.
  • Collaborative environment requiring interaction with technical experts, contractors, suppliers, executives, and public-sector stakeholders.
  • Opportunity to influence projects from early-stage development through construction readiness and execution planning.
