• System Data Integrity: Maintain accurate project records in Smartsheet, Procore, and other systems, ensuring all stakeholders have a single source of truth for utility status.
• E&U Data Support: Gather and organize technical equipment data and cost benchmarks to assist Energy & Utility (E&U) Managers in preparing energization estimates.
• Utility Standards: Support maintaining utility standards documentation, ensuring technical documents and site requirements are organized and accessible to engineering teams.
• Administrative Design Support: Facilitate the technical redline process by coordinating feedback between internal stakeholders and third-party engineers; ensure all redlines are accurately captured and filed.
• Energy-Rate Analysis Assistance: Assist in collecting and analyzing utility tariff data and energy usage information to support operational cost evaluations.
• Field & Crew Scheduling: Coordinate pre-construction site walks and inspections; act as a primary point of contact for scheduling final energization with utility crews and field technicians.
• Account Transition: Manage the setup of new utility accounts and facilitate the transition of billing information to the operations team to support a seamless handoff.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Construction Management, or a related field/experience.
• 3-5 years of experience in project coordination, utility administration, or construction management.
• Proven Project Management Skills: Demonstrated ability to manage high-volume, repeatable tasks and maintain complex project timelines with high attention to detail.
• Advanced Proficiency in project management tools: Experience using project management tools to track project health and maintain data integrity is highly preferred. Ideally, experience with Procore and Smartsheets.
• Communication: Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to hold external utility partners accountable to project schedules.

Preferred Qualifications
