About The Position

The Deputy Project Manager supports the Project Director in the day-to-day execution and delivery of a single, complex EPC/EPFC project. The role helps translate the Project Director’s execution strategy into actionable plans, drives disciplined project controls, and aligns engineering, procurement, construction, and support functions. Acting as an extension of the Project Director, the Deputy PM owns defined workstreams, interfaces, or project phases and helps maintain schedule, cost, quality, safety, and contractual compliance through hands-on execution, leadership, coordination, and proactive risk management.

The role supports project execution planning and delivery, performance tracking and recovery planning, cost and schedule controls, forecasting, progress measurement, reporting, and change management. It also helps identify and mitigate risks, reinforces safety and quality requirements, coordinates client and stakeholder interfaces, and integrates cross-functional teams. The Deputy PM provides day-to-day leadership to project staff, coaches less-experienced team members, and may act as a Project Manager or Project Director delegate when required.
