The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience leading large-scale, fast-paced project environments, preferably across both utility and non-utility sectors. A strong grasp of utility operations, data, and asset management is essential, along with a deep understanding of project cost controls and team development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of project managers and associate project managers to deliver complex utility and infrastructure projects on time and within budget.

• Direct all phases of project life cycles, including planning, scheduling, execution, risk mitigation, and closure.

• Collaborate with internal teams (Operations, Engineering, Delivery, Business Development) to align project objectives with customer expectations and contracted scope.

• Oversee multiple project portfolios, ensuring financial targets are met, and proactively manage forecasting, variance analysis, and corrective actions.

• Serve as the primary point of contact with customers, participating in strategic meetings and presenting project status updates.

• Manage internal reporting on performance metrics, progress tracking, cost controls, and scheduling.

• Resolve project-related issues and support continuous process improvement across teams.

• Uphold and drive adherence to Osmose's project management methodologies and company policies.

Qualifications:

• PMP certification required.

• 5+ years of hands-on project management experience.

• 5-10 years of leadership experience, ideally with direct reports and oversight of complex, multi-state project portfolios.

• Background in utilities is required; combined experience in utility and non-utility sectors strongly preferred.

• Deep understanding of utility spend behavior, decision-making, and asset/data management strategies.

• Strong financial acumen in project accounting, including revenue tracking, cost of goods, and accrual reconciliation.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with polished customer-facing presentation abilities.

• Proficient in MS Excel; familiarity with MS Project, Word, PowerPoint, and Visio preferred.

• Ability to travel 10-30% as required.

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or other quantitative field preferred.
