Sr. Project Manager

Hybrid (Greater Baltimore, MD; Washington DC; Greater Philadelphia, PA; Greater Chicago, IL)

6-Month Contract-to-Hire

$73-80/hr. depending on experience

We are hiring a Sr. Project Manager to join the Project Delivery team for a complex, multi-opco RCI (root cause investigation) initiative within the Architecture & Engineering department of one of our Fortune 200 Utilities partners. This strategic project involves managing a multi-year effort focused on the remediation and replacement of technical devices across multiple sites and substations. The role is critical to ensuring compliance with updated device management standards, and the project will continue into 2027. As part of this role, you will also engage with various stakeholders, including directors and engineers, to gather requirements, allocate resources, and report-up to the board of directors.

Initially, you will function in a quasi-business analyst, supporting the discovery phase by surveying large groups, conducting requirement intakes, and assisting in resource allocation planning. Once a project plan is established, the role will transition into a full project lead, overseeing the execution of the plan, ensuring timelines are met, and driving stakeholder engagement to ensure successful project delivery. In this role, you will collaborate with directors, engineers, and other key stakeholders to gather requirements, allocate resources, and provide regular updates to the board of directors. If you're an independent and senior-level PM who thrives in fast-paced, lightly structured environments, we encourage you to apply!

Requirements:

• 6+ years of professional experience in Project Management and Bachelor's Degree in Information Systems, Business, IT, or a related field; or equivalent practical experience.
• PMP certification is required.
• Experience in leading and managing non-linear, complex projects with discovery and problem-solving phases.
• Experience building project plans.
• Experience in managing resource allocation and navigating challenges in securing necessary technical resources.
• Ability to report directly to executive-level stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment on project progress.
• Ability to drive alignment across internal and vendor stakeholders.
• Strong organizational, planning, and execution skills under tight deadlines.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to lead meetings and facilitate cross-functional team collaboration.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with operational technology (OT) devices and their management within industrial or technical environments is a plus!

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end management of a multi-year technical project focused on the remediation and replacement of legacy devices.
• Oversee the survey and walkdown of over 1000 substations to identify non-compliant devices and ensure adherence to updated standards.
• Work closely with various stakeholders (including directors, engineers, and external SMEs) to define and gather requirements and facilitate the discovery and remediation process.
• Develop and maintain project plans that are adaptive to discovery, ensuring effective communication with team members and leadership throughout.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to secure necessary resources, ensuring timely allocation of engineers and other critical personnel.
• Develop and manage AEF (Architecture Engagement Forms) for the onboarding of 42 different applications requiring updated standards.
• Provide regular project updates, including executive-level reporting to the board of directors.
• Identify and mitigate risks related to resource allocation, project timelines, and technical challenges throughout the project lifecycle.

What's in it for you?

This is a high-visibility opportunity to lead a critical, multi-opco project for a major client in the technical services space. You'll gain exposure to enterprise-level decision-making and work alongside senior leadership to ensure the success of a long-term strategic initiative.
