• Lead the resolution of technical issues and RFIs, working closely with subject matter experts.
• Track and manage technical risks, interfaces, and action items throughout the project lifecycle.
• Proactively communicate updates to internal and external stakeholders-pushing information rather than waiting to be asked.
• Prepare and deliver technical presentations and project status reports to leadership.
• Capture lessons learned and support continuous improvement across projects.
• Support the transition of completed projects to the Services/Operations team.

What We're Looking For:

Must-Have Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET-accredited).
• 10+ years of experience in engineering project execution, ideally in wind energy, power systems, or manufacturing.
• Proven experience leading technical projects (not people), including planning, coordination, and execution.
• Strong understanding of turbine systems and/or Balance of Plant (BoP) design.
• Familiarity with NERC reliability standards.
• Excellent communication skills-comfortable reaching out proactively and managing expectations across diverse teams.
• Strong organizational skills with a focus on task tracking and follow-through.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and project management tools.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience working with SCADA systems, MV electrical systems, or wind turbine certification processes.
• Background in manufacturing or process coordination.
• Multilingual capabilities (especially French).
• Project Management certification or formal training.

Reporting Structure:

• This role does not include direct reports.
• You will collaborate closely with project managers, engineering teams, and external partners.
