About The Position

The Plant Manager is the senior on-site leader responsible for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of a large natural gas-powered prime power microgrid serving a customer facility. This fixed-location, single-site leadership role has end-to-end accountability for site operations, maintenance execution, safety performance, workforce leadership, and the customer interface. The Plant Manager establishes operational standards and routines across shifts and ensures the site meets uptime, availability, production, emissions, and safety targets. The Plant Manager leads Group Supervisors and on-site support staff, maintains technical and operational credibility, and oversees preventive, corrective, and reliability-focused maintenance programs. Day-to-day hands-on maintenance execution is not a primary responsibility. The role serves as the primary customer-site interface and also engages with the local community to build recruiting pipelines, vendor relationships, and long-term regional partnerships. The position reports directly to the Prime Power Head.
