Position Description
Responsible for leading project teams for mainly capital projects that are assigned. Have a strong sense of ownership and commitment for each assigned project by managing the scope of work, project schedule and budget. Ensure that the design and construction match the defined scope of work, all tasks regarding the schedule are met, and the costs are controlled and do not vary outside the project estimate. Primary responsibilities include estimating, budgeting, cash flowing, scheduling, project team coordination and closure of capital construction projects as well as reimbursable and billable projects. Projects assigned are more complex, medium to large scale projects involving transmission lines, substations and/or fiber optic communication lines. This position is expected to manage their own projects and provide support to less experienced Project Managers as required.
Essential Job Tasks:
Lead the project team from beginning to end to ensure the projects' success. This includes a multitude of activities including but not limited to holding project team meetings, completely understanding the project scope and ensuring it is being adhered to, constantly communicate with project team members to ensure project milestones and project deliverables are being met, perform field visits and field meetings when appropriate, interact closely with all internal departments and external organizations as needed to ensure the work we are doing is planned out and everyone knows the plan. It is your responsibility to facilitate the coordination between various departments when executing the projects, especially between design, construction and operations. As the Project Manager, always be vigilant of issues that could hold up the project and remain out in front on these, resolving them before they become hindrances to the project budget and/or schedule. Also, be in pursuit of continually looking to improve the process of managing projects for cost and time savings. A thorough understanding of the project process, from beginning to end, is required. This should include knowledge about what is critical in the process, monitoring the process performance against historical data and make sure that any improvements discovered during the process are updated in the process documentation. Prepare cost and time estimates and cash flows for potential or existing projects. These may be preliminary or detailed estimates. If creating preliminary estimates, utilize historical project costs and established estimating tools like the Green Book. For detailed estimates, additional coordination with other units may be necessary to accomplish this more accurately. Also work with the Engineering Associates and/or Engineering Technicians on project metrics, financial reporting, environmental compliance (MOC - Management of Change) and any other supporting tasks/roles they provide. Create detailed project schedules for each assigned project utilizing the Primavera scheduling software. Update each project schedule on at least a monthly basis and provide these updates electronically to the project team. Highlighting or identifying changes that are made helps the users when they receive these. Coordinate the plan for construction prior to the project kick-off meeting, bringing together Construction Management and ECC personnel to determine outage constraints and requirements early on in the schedule development. Also coordinate the project deliverables with the individual design units and Construction Management and place these on the schedules. The project schedules should be uniform and consistent with other Project Manager schedules. Participate in training opportunities, work and drive safely, adhere to all corporate and departmental policies and procedures and stay current with all mandatory training required. Serve on various corporate committees as directed, prepare and perform presentations when required and assist Transmission Operations or Berkeley Distribution if we experience wide spread damage to our electrical grid. Provide training, direction and support to the less experienced Project Managers as required.
