About the Role
This firm is a well-respected, Texas-based engineering consultancy known for our deep technical roots, long-standing utility relationships, and agile, high-integrity approach to power delivery solutions. As they continue to expand their impact across the transmission, substation, and distribution landscape, they're looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead from the front-shaping strategy, growing key accounts, and guiding multidisciplinary project teams.
This role is not just about delivering projects-it's about leading conversations, cultivating trusted partnerships, and playing a visible, strategic role in how we serve and grow within the utility market.
What You'll Do
Strategic Business Development
- Act as a visible leader and relationship builder with utility clients across Texas and surrounding regions.
- Identify and cultivate new business opportunities in transmission, substation, and distribution sectors through referrals, market intel, and existing relationships.
- Guide proposal strategy and development with a focus on thoughtful positioning, technical credibility, and commercial value.
- Represent the firm at industry events, client meetings, and within professional networks.
- Serve as the main point of contact for key clients, ensuring alignment on goals, expectations, and long-term partnerships.
- Lead complex power delivery projects from conceptual design to final delivery-owning schedule, budget, team coordination, and quality oversight.
- Facilitate proactive, honest, and solutions-oriented communication across all project phases.
Team & Technical Management
- Collaborate with internal engineering leads across civil, structural, and electrical disciplines to ensure cohesive, high-quality deliverables.
- Mentor and guide junior PMs, engineers, and designers with a focus on long-term talent growth.
- Participate in resource planning and staffing strategy to meet project pipeline and client needs.
Who You Are
- A strategic thinker with strong technical foundations and a business-minded approach to engineering consulting.
- Trusted by clients and peers alike-known for your reliability, professionalism, and ability to "see the bigger picture."
- Equally comfortable talking shop in a substation control room or presenting to executive decision-makers.
- Able to thrive in a smaller, high-trust firm where autonomy, initiative, and collaboration are valued.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or related field; advanced degree or MBA a plus.
- 8+ years of experience in power delivery (transmission, substation, and/or distribution), including client-facing project leadership.
- Demonstrated success developing or growing utility client accounts, ideally in Texas or the surrounding region.
- PMP certification or equivalent preferred.
- Strong interpersonal skills with proven ability to lead conversations, not just manage checklists.
- Willingness to travel regionally for client meetings and project needs (~15-25%).
