Project Manager-Level 3 - Senior (11 - 15 Years)

Job#: 3049492

Location: Juno Beach, Florida (Remote)

About This Opportunity

This organization is advancing a significant gas generation development portfolio. We are seeking a Project Manager to lead engagement across selected gas project development activities - from technology due diligence and FEED studies to construction readiness. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional leadership role operating at the intersection of Generation Development, Integrated Supply Chain (ISC), and Engineering & Construction (E&C). The ideal candidate thrives in an origination-driven environment and brings a disciplined approach to budget, scope and schedule management, risk identification, and team leadership.

What You'll Do

Gas Technology and Commercial Due Diligence

• Lead and facilitate the day-to-day management of select projects to ensure timely completion as well as cost-effective and competitive results.
• Lead E&C's participation in gas project technology and commercial due diligence, evaluating achievable commercial commitments, constructability, site integration complexity, utility interconnection requirements (electrical, gas, water, etc.), and preliminary cost positioning across competing technologies and configurations.
• Identify and document E&C-specific technology and commercial risks, including balance-of-plant configuration alternatives, supply chain availability for major equipment and contractors, and site-specific civil and interconnection constraints.
• Provide E&C technical and commercial input into OEM and contractor meetings, site visits, and technology assessments, ensuring construction and engineering perspectives are represented early in the selection process.
• Coordinate with E&C SMEs to evaluate technology-specific balance-of-plant and interconnection requirements, including switchyard and transmission infrastructure, gas and water supply requirements, and wastewater and air emissions compliance requirements.

Gas Project Development, Technical Oversight & Risk Identification

• Lead E&C participation in Technology Review, capital estimate and project schedule development, and Preliminary Engineering phases across active gas development projects.
• Maintain a Risk Register, tracking scope, schedule, cost, and constructability risks.
• Proactively identify when Development-driven scope changes introduce E&C cost or schedule risk.
• Coordinate E&C SME resources in support of gas project site configuration reviews and risk assessments.
• Lead E&C's participation in commercial offtake agreement negotiation, site permitting, and interconnection processes, ensuring construction-phase dependencies are identified and tracked against development and regulatory milestones.

Procurement & Integrated Supply Chain Coordination

• Partner with Integrated Supply Chain on procurement support activities - including RFQ input, commercial and technical scope review, and bid evaluation for major gas project equipment and EPC/EPCM scopes.
• Lead bid evaluation activities, including cost comparison analysis between E&C estimates and contractor proposals, flagging material variances as risk indicators requiring scope alignment review.
• Lead bid recommendation and contract negotiation activities to execute the highest value contracts supporting project goals with acceptable levels of risk.

Project Controls & Reporting

• Lead schedule development, cost benchmarking, cashflow modeling, and risk-adjusted cost positioning in support of project sanction decisions.
• Maintain and report on the E&C gas project risk register, ensuring leadership has timely visibility into emerging risks, mitigation actions, and residual exposure.
• Support process improvement within E&C project development workflows, including integration of project data and risk tracking into project management platforms.

What You’ll Need

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, or a related field.
• 11 to 15 years of experience leading energy storage and infrastructure projects, ensuring engineering and financial integration.
• Experience in EPC/EPCM project delivery, cost estimating, schedule development, and project risk management for gas generation projects.
• Experience in major equipment and EPC/EPCM contract procurement including bid preparation, evaluation, negotiation, and award.
• Proven ability to lead through ambiguity in early-stage, origination-led development programs.
• Proven ability to effectively communicate with internal and external stakeholders including executive management and public officials.
• Driving will be required for this position. A valid, non-restricted driver's license is necessary.

Preferred

• Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification.
• Experience with combined cycle or simple cycle gas development across multiple geographies and regulatory environments.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Project or Primavera project management and scheduling software.

What Sets You Apart

• You lead across organizational boundaries without direct authority.
• You surface risks before they become problems.
• You bring structure and discipline to early-stage development environments.
• You are comfortable in a technical meeting, a leadership budget review, or a public hearing.
