Location: Hampton GA

Type: Fully On-site Monday- Friday

Overall: This is a beginning Project Managerial role in the Operations side of Cleveland Electric. This position is typically for newer (to the office) employees that are on a Project Manager path. Interns will usually become APM’s after their probationary period with the company. Employees with more Field experience will usually start their Project Managerial role as an APM or PE (Project Engineer) depending on the circumstances. The APM is a supporting role for projects and will usually report to a PM (Project Manager) or SrPM (Senior Project Manager). The APM will help the project he/she is on by performing as many tasks as possible for the PM or SrPM while learning the PM functions and company policies and procedures. The goal of the APM (and for the company) would be to become a PM1, PM2, then SrPM. Advancement beyond a SrPM is still a potential as a GM (Group Manger) or in other Departmental Lead roles.
