The Project Manager is expected to identify problems early, drive resolution, and escalate when needed to protect project outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Supply Chain Interface & Oversight

Serve as the primary day-to-day liaison between the project organization and Supply Chain for assigned equipment packages; monitor Supply Chain’s development and execution of delivery plans against project milestones.
Hold Supply Chain accountable to agreed schedules, milestone dates, and reporting cadences; formally request recovery plans when deficiencies are identified and monitor execution until performance is restored.
Ensure Supply Chain is developing and maintaining detailed schedules consistent with project-level milestones in the Integrated Master Control Schedule (IMCS).
Facilitate cross-functional alignment meetings with EPC, Operations, and Engineering on behalf of EDM; flag and drive engagement when alignment gaps exist.
Coordinate planning of project integration activities related to Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Equipment Qualification (EQ), commissioning, and system turnover.
Escalate unresolved Supply Chain performance issues to leadership with supporting documentation.

Cost Account Management & EVMS

Hold full cost account management (CAM) responsibility for assigned equipment packages, including budget ownership, cost control, and EV baseline integrity in compliance with EVMS requirements.
Establish, maintain, and defend the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) for assigned cost accounts; authorize and control allocation of budget to Supply Chain.
Review supplier monthly reports and validate earned value inputs provided by Supply Chain; challenge unsupported progress claims and ensure EV is grounded in physical completion.
Calculate and analyze EV metrics on the defined reporting cycle; identify cost and schedule performance trends and distinguish transient anomalies from systemic variances requiring corrective action.
Develop and maintain the Estimate at Completion (EAC) for each assigned cost account using EV performance data, risk-adjusted projections, and remaining work assessments; update on the defined reporting cycle with written justification for any revision.

Change Control & SCR Management

Serve as the primary initiator of change control for assigned cost accounts; identify, document, and route all required scope, cost, and schedule changes through the approved PCN process.
Lead project impact assessments for project impacting Supplier Coordination Requests (SCRs) identifying deviation, non-conformance, or cost impact; review forecast variances submitted by Supply Chain and prepare recommendations for leadership approval.
Ensure all approved changes are reflected in the IMCS in a timely manner; coordinate with PMO controls to maintain baseline integrity.

Risk Management

Identify, document, and track project risks arising from equipment delivery activities, cost performance, and schedule status for assigned packages.
Escalate risks that increase overall project risk exposure following project risk management procedures.

Key Qualifications and Skills

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, project management, supply chain, or a related technical discipline.
10+ years of experience in project management, supply chain oversight, or equipment delivery on major capital programs, with demonstrated cost account management or EVMS experience.
Experience on nuclear, energy, defense, or heavy industrial capital projects strongly preferred.
Working knowledge of earned value management systems (EVMS), EV metric calculation, EAC development, and variance analysis.
Solid understanding of supply chain processes, contract administration, SCR review, and procurement change control.
Familiarity with integrated master scheduling and milestone governance across complex, multi-year programs.
Strong analytical skills; able to identify performance trends, assess project impact, and prepare clear, defensible documentation for leadership review.
Effective communicator and collaborator; able to manage relationships with Supply Chain, Engineering, EPC, Operations, and PMO counterparts and drive alignment across organizational boundaries.
The successful candidate will possess a high degree of trust and integrity, communicate openly and display respect, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to team accountability and project success.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
