Project & Deployment Manager

About the role

P&C projects span multiple disciplines (protection, controls, networking, cybersecurity), multiple vendor platforms (SEL, Woodward, CAT, ABB, Cisco, EIG), and multiple commissioning phases that require coordination with prime contractors, owner representatives, and site operations. This role exists because the project coordination — scope management, trade sequencing, configuration management, and multi-phase commissioning planning — is a full-time engineering management function. You coordinate the delivery: schedules, resource plans, submittal packages, configuration baselines, and phased commissioning logistics.

Responsibilities

• Owned the schedule and resource plan for at least one active P&C project
• Produced a submittal package or RFI response set coordinated with the engineering team
• Reviewed and understood the firm's configuration management procedures and CI baseline approach
• Managing project delivery end-to-end: schedule, scope, resources, submittals, and commissioning coordination
• Maintained configuration baselines across vendor platforms with formal change control gates
• Planned and coordinated multi-phase commissioning logistics with prime contractor and site operations

Requirements

• 7+ years project management or deployment management in protection & controls, substation, or critical power
• Multi-discipline coordination: managing teams across protection, controls, networking, and commissioning disciplines
• Prime contractor interface experience: submittals, RFIs, scope coordination, change order management
• Configuration management for multi-vendor systems — version control, baseline tracking, change control procedures
• Commissioning coordination: phased commissioning planning, trade sequencing, stakeholder management
• Scheduling and resource planning for field-heavy engineering projects

Qualifications

• PMP certification or equivalent project management credential
• Data center or mission-critical facility project management experience
• Formal configuration management under federal or regulated program requirements
• International project coordination (time zones, local regulations, travel logistics)

Skills

• Vendor Platform Experience: SEL, Woodward, CAT, ABB, EIG, Eaton, Cisco, UPS
• Technical Depth: Protection studies, relay settings, commissioning test procedures, SCADA configuration
• Real Project Scenarios: Coordination studies, sequence commissioning plans, troubleshoot protection scheme failures

Benefits

Standard office hours for project management; site presence during commissioning milestones and phase gates
