    • Project Management – With the 40+ projects in our pipeline, we lead the project through the initiation phase. This phase can be bumpy with project schedules and costs changing as new information about the project comes forward. You will focus on managing the scope, schedule, risks, and resources to while making sure the needs of the stakeholders are being met.


    • Transmission – We are focused on the transmission projects that bring more load to our system. This includes new transmission lines and substations as well as upgrading transmission lines and substations. Projects will range in size from $5 million to $800 million.


    • Organization – Can you juggle 15 balls at the same time? If so, this is the job for you You will regularly use your organization skills to keep track of all the activities on any given project so you know when to follow up with the different resources to stay on track.


    • Schedules – Our total load demand is growing rapidly and everyone one of our projects is needed. You will develop and maintain preliminary schedules and refine them every time new information comes in. Your Project Controller will be your constant companion as you tweak and adjust activities and dates until everyone feels you have an executable project.


    • Forecasting – Accuracy is important. When we forecast too high, it means other projects can't be started. When we forecast too low, it means we leave money on the table. You will work closely with the Engineering Team and Estimators to refine the scope, develop new estimates and forecast out the cash flow on a monthly and annual basis.
