MATRIX is looking for a Sr. Project Manager to lead the full lifecycle development and construction of new power generation facilities. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on expertise in managing complex, large-scale energy infrastructure projects from greenfield site development through final commissioning. Candidates with relevant new site build experience in the oil & gas industry can be considered.
This position will be based out of The Woodlands, TX but should be prepared to travel within the client territory.
Responsibilities:
Duties: Lead end-to-end project execution for new-build power generation facilities, from early-stage planning through commissioning and turnover. Develop comprehensive project management plans, including scope, schedule, budget, staffing, procurement, quality, risk, communication, and safety components.
Project Planning and Initiation: Lead project initiation activities, including defining project objectives, scope, and deliverables. Develop comprehensive project plans, schedules, and budgets, identifying project resources and establishing project governance structures.
Stakeholder Engagement: Engage with stakeholders at all levels of the organization to define project requirements, expectations, and success criteria. Foster effective communication and collaboration among project team members, stakeholders, and external vendors or partners.
Risk Management: Identify, assess, and manage project risks and opportunities throughout the project lifecycle. Develop risk management plans, mitigation strategies, and contingency plans to address potential threats and capitalize on opportunities. Monitor risk exposure and implement corrective actions as needed.
Project Execution: Oversee the execution of project activities according to the defined project plan, ensuring adherence to schedule, budget, quality standards, and regulatory requirements. Coordinate with cross-functional teams to allocate resources, manage dependencies, and resolve issues or conflicts that may arise.
Change Management: Manage changes to project scope, schedule, and budget, evaluating change requests, assessing impacts, and obtaining approvals as necessary. Ensure that changes are implemented in a controlled manner, minimizing disruption to project objectives and stakeholders.
Performance Monitoring and Control: Monitor project performance against baseline plans, utilizing key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to track progress, identify variances, and forecast project outcomes. Implement project controls mechanisms, such as Earned Value Management (EVM), to measure performance and make data-driven decisions.
Quality Assurance: Ensure that project deliverables meet quality standards and customer requirements. Establish quality management processes and conduct regular reviews and inspections to identify and address any quality issues or non-conformances.
Communication and Reporting: Provide regular project updates to stakeholders and senior management, communicating project status, achievements, risks, and issues. Prepare and distribute project status reports, meeting minutes, and other documentation as required.
Project Closure: Lead the project closure process, ensuring that all project deliverables are completed, accepted, and handed over to stakeholders. Conduct post-project reviews to assess lessons learned, capture best practices, and identify opportunities for improvement.
