Role Overview: Project Manager III
The Project Manager III is a senior-level leadership position responsible for the comprehensive oversight, planning, and execution of distribution line design projects. This role is situated within the Lehigh Service Center and requires a professional who can navigate the complexities of engineering design processes while maintaining strict project controls and schedules. The successful candidate will be instrumental in ensuring that engineering milestones are met with precision to support downstream construction needs. This position demands a high level of coordination across multiple functional areas, including engineering, construction, permitting, and real estate. As a Project Manager III, you will be expected to manage project scope, identify and mitigate risks, and provide transparent reporting to stakeholders. The role is hybrid, requiring on-site presence in Allentown, PA, three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday), fostering a collaborative environment while allowing for flexible work arrangements.
Key Responsibilities and Duties
- Lead the end-to-end planning, scheduling, and execution of distribution line design projects, ensuring all deliverables meet quality and safety standards.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams to align engineering milestones with construction requirements and organizational goals.
- Manage project scope, budgets, and resources effectively to ensure projects are completed on time and within financial parameters.
- Develop and maintain integrated project schedules using advanced tools such as Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project.
- Identify potential project risks early in the lifecycle and implement robust mitigation strategies to prevent delays.
- Provide regular status updates, performance metrics, and detailed reports to senior management and project stakeholders.
- Oversee the procurement of materials and services necessary for project execution, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
- Facilitate communication between internal departments and external partners to ensure seamless project delivery.
- Mentor junior project management staff and contribute to the continuous improvement of project management methodologies.
- Ensure all projects adhere to local, state, and federal regulations governing utility and distribution infrastructure.
Required Qualifications and Experience
Candidates must possess a minimum of 10 years of experience in distribution project management, with a specific focus on project scheduling, controls, and the engineering design process. A deep understanding of the utility sector and the lifecycle of distribution line projects is essential. While a Bachelor’s degree in Business or a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) field is preferred, it is not a mandatory requirement for candidates with extensive relevant experience. Similarly, a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and proficiency in Primavera P6 are highly desirable and will be given preference during the selection process. The ideal candidate will demonstrate exceptional leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage complex projects in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. This role requires a proactive individual who can drive results and maintain high standards of excellence in infrastructure development.
Strategic Impact and Environment
The Project Manager III plays a vital role in the modernization and reliability of the electrical distribution grid. By managing critical infrastructure projects, you contribute directly to the stability and growth of the energy sector. The work environment at the Lehigh Service Center is collaborative and technical, requiring a candidate who is comfortable working with engineers and construction professionals alike. This position offers the opportunity to lead high-visibility projects that have a lasting impact on the community and the utility landscape. We are looking for a strategic thinker who can balance technical requirements with business objectives to deliver superior project outcomes.
