Associate Project Manager, High Voltage

This role oversees the construction and delivery of utility-scale high-voltage infrastructure, including standalone and co-located battery energy storage projects. You will manage projects across the full construction lifecycle, from Notice to Proceed (NTP) and site preparation through equipment installation, commissioning, energization, and commercial operation (COD). Working closely with EPC contractors, high-voltage equipment manufacturers, technical consultants, and internal teams, you will help ensure projects meet demanding safety, quality, schedule, and budget requirements. The position involves coordinating complex 500kV substation and transmission line facilities, interconnection upgrades, and integration with grid systems. You will take ownership of project milestones, proactively manage construction risks, and support the transition of completed assets into operations. This is an opportunity to contribute to large-scale renewable energy infrastructure in a collaborative, fast-growing environment focused on reliable power and energy storage.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline preferred.

• Experience: At least 5 years of construction management or project management experience in utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) or major industrial power projects.

• Project Delivery Track Record: Demonstrated experience serving as Lead Project Manager or Owner’s Representative on at least two utility-scale high-voltage construction projects, managing delivery from NTP through energization and substantial completion or COD.

• High-Voltage Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of 500kV substation and transmission line architecture, as well as applicable CBC, NERC, WECC, CAISO, CPUC, and IEEE requirements.

• Commercial and Grid Knowledge: Solid understanding of EPC contracts, grid interconnection processes, and BESS degradation and guarantee structures.

• Project Management Tools: Advanced proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack, Bluebeam, and project scheduling tools such as Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project.

• Communication and Reporting: Ability to translate complex construction, schedule, cost, and technical information into clear reports and updates for executive stakeholders.

• Leadership and Stakeholder Management: Strong leadership, negotiation, coordination, and relationship management skills, with the ability to work effectively across contractors, technical teams, and internal business functions.

• Personal Attributes: High attention to detail, proactive risk management, sound judgment, and the ability to manage multiple large-scale infrastructure projects in a fast-paced environment.
