Real Estate Project Manager

At American Transmission Company (ATC), the work we do connects communities, supports economic growth, and helps ensure reliable electric transmission service across our region. Behind every transmission project is a team of professionals who secure the property rights, stakeholder partnerships, and agreements needed to bring critical infrastructure projects to life.

We're looking for a Real Estate Project Manager who is passionate about building relationships, navigating complex projects, and working at the intersection of real estate, infrastructure, and community engagement. ATC embraces flexibility in our work and our workplace. We trust our employees to get work done where and when it makes sense, depending on the schedule for the day and the needs of the business. However, this role is not 100% remote and would require relocation to Wisconsin.

Responsibilities

• Develop and manage project plans from initiation through completion
• Coordinate activities across multiple internal and external stakeholders
• Monitor schedules, budgets, deliverables, risks, and project performance
• Ensure project objectives are achieved safely, efficiently, and compliantly
• Manage easements, permits, licenses, leases, agreements, and other real estate interests

• Coordinate approvals and documentation required to advance infrastructure projects
• Work directly with landowners, municipalities, government agencies, contractors, and business partners
• Facilitate productive conversations and negotiate practical solutions
• Address questions related to property rights, easements, construction impacts, and project requirements
• Participate in public information meetings, hearings, zoning discussions, and permitting processes
• Serve as a professional representative of ATC in stakeholder interactions
• Communicate complex information in a clear and approachable manner
• Maintain accurate project documentation and records
• Support corporate, regulatory, legal, and company compliance requirements
