Your Role: Associate Engineering Project Manager

Ampirical’s Engineering PMO is seeking an Associate Project Manager to support engineering project delivery across the project lifecycle — developing foundational skills in scope, schedule, budget, risk, and client communication on electrical utility projects. This is a hands-on development role within a growing PMO where Associate PMs work alongside senior Project Managers and are supported by a dedicated Project Controls team, building the competency and confidence to advance through the Engineering PMO career track.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage contract scope for smaller projects, task orders, and designs valued at $150,000 or less, focused on single-discipline or non-complex designs
  • Support the full project lifecycle — from proposal and kickoff through design, field coordination, and closeout — ensuring deliverables are on time, on budget, and contract-compliant
  • Develop engineering budgets, milestone schedules, and resource plans using bottom-up methods and begin managing performance against those plans through execution
  • Support stakeholder communication across engineering teams, clients, subconsultants, and internal leadership — including meetings, status reports, and change order tracking
  • Develop and maintain contract risk registers and monthly reporting across the five pillars of contract management: scope, risk, schedule, budget, and resources
  • Cook up field activities including site observations, commissioning events, surveys, and feasibility studies while ensuring alignment with safety and quality standards
  • Write task order letters and non-complex, single-discipline basic letter proposals including scope, assumptions, and pricing for client approval
  • Ensure all engineering designs meet applicable codes, regulatory requirements, and the industry standard of care across every deliverable

What You Bring

  • Education: Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology or a relevant field
  • Experience:
    • Minimum 3 years of project management experience in utilities engineering or very similar technical fields
    • PE license and/or PMP certification
