The Opportunity

Our Power and Energy Solutions (PES) Project team is seeking a Senior Execution Project Manager, Power Generation to lead the development and execution of the expanding large-scale power generation project portfolio across Canada and the US. Reporting to the Manager, PES Projects, this position will be responsible for advancing projects through commercial development, regulatory approvals, Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) and into execution. This role requires strong technical, commercial, regulatory, and stakeholder management capabilities.

The successful candidate will possess a proven track record of developing complex energy infrastructure projects, navigating multiple regulatory environments and driving project certainly in dynamic market conditions.

The role will support a portfolio that may include natural gas-fired generation (front of meter and islanded), cogeneration facilities and hybrid energy solutions supporting North America’s growing electricity demand.

This position will require travel to various site locations on a regular basis across North America. Hours of work may need to be extended as business needs arise.

What you’ll do

• Provide senior leadership for the safe and successful execution of large, complex power generation projects from Final Investment Decision through engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, startup, and operational handover.
• Lead and inspire large, multidisciplinary teams across internal functions, contractors, consultants, Original Equipment Manufacturers, regulators, commercial partners, and operations, creating shared ownership of project outcomes.

• Drive work across engineering, procurement, construction, project controls, commercial, regulatory, stakeholder relations, commissioning, and operations teams, removing barriers and maintaining focus on critical project outcomes.
• Direct major EPC, EPCM, ECI, design-bid-build, equipment supply, and services contracts, and hold contractors and suppliers accountable for safe, timely, and commercially responsible performance.
• Develop and maintain integrated execution plans, schedules, budgets, resource strategies, contracting plans, performance measures, and management routines appropriate to project scale and complexity.
• Lead project controls and governance, including forecasting, earned value management, change control, risk management, assurance reviews, stage gates, executive reporting, and investment performance updates.
• Anticipate and resolve significant execution challenges involving constructability, design maturity, supply chain, labour availability, permitting, stakeholder commitments, commercial claims, commissioning, or plant performance.
• Create alignment among diverse stakeholders, facilitate timely resolution of competing priorities, and drive fact-based decisions with clear ownership, due dates, escalation paths, and recovery actions.
• Build and sustain alignment with Indigenous groups, communities, regulators, utilities, Independent System Operators, partners, and other external stakeholders whose support is critical to execution.
• Oversee commissioning, performance testing, turnover, and operational acceptance to confirm that safety, reliability, capacity, efficiency, and contractual performance requirements are achieved.
• Provide visible leadership at project sites, reinforce field execution priorities, and ensure lessons learned are captured and applied across the broader project portfolio.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Process, Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical or a related field), Construction Management, or an equivalent combination of education and senior project execution experience.
