About The Position

As a Manager II – Project Engineering, Wind, you'll lead multiple engineering teams and programs responsible for delivering safe, high-quality engineering solutions across Blattner's utility-scale wind portfolio. With a core focus on People, Projects, and Processes, you'll develop strong, self-sufficient teams while providing the leadership, resources, and direction they need to execute successfully. Your day moves between developing engineering leaders, overseeing a portfolio of projects and client relationships, aligning resources across teams, strengthening engineering processes, and partnering with Senior Engineering leadership on department-wide priorities and initiatives. You'll work closely with Construction, Estimating, Supply Chain, and other Engineering disciplines to anticipate portfolio needs, remove organizational roadblocks, and drive consistency across project execution. As your teams manage the day-to-day technical work independently, you'll focus increasingly on the bigger picture—building trusted client partnerships, developing talent, improving how we work, and positioning Project Engineering to support the continued growth and success of Blattner's Wind business.
