About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

The Project Manager supports Pivot Energy’s owner-side project delivery function from formal handoff out of preconstruction and contract readiness through engineering, procurement, permitting, construction, commissioning, testing, turnover, and final closeout.
This role is accountable for leading project execution with discipline across scope, budget, schedule, quality, safety, compliance, documentation, and stakeholder alignment.
The Project Manager acts as the primary project-level operator on behalf of Pivot, translating negotiated commercial terms, preconstruction assumptions, budgets, schedules, and risk positions into executable plans and controlled outcomes.
The role protects Pivot’s business interests while coordinating internal stakeholders and external partners including EPCs, suppliers, engineers, utilities, AHJs, owner’s engineers, independent engineers, asset management, revenue operations, legal, project finance, procurement, accounting, compliance, and operations.
This role materially supports Pivot’s eight focus areas throughout execution: Stakeholder Management, Contract Management, Quality Management, Financial Management, Schedule Management, Compliance Management, Risk Management, and Document Management.

What you’ll need

Ability to operate effectively in Procore, Sage Intacct, Salesforce, Power BI, and related project-controls systems.
Ability to coordinate submittals, turnover documentation, QA/QC records, testing readiness, warranties, and closeout requirements.
Ability to integrate safety, quality, and compliance obligations into live project execution rather than treating them as separate workstreams.
Ability to understand cost code structure, job costing methodologies, and the relationship between project budget setup and downstream execution controls.
Ability to influence outcomes without dictating contractor means and methods.
Ability to support predictable, repeatable project outcomes through disciplined use of process, documentation, meetings, and escalation.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
