The role provides oversight and direction to assigned Project Managers and works closely with the Functional Director, Lead Engineer, Project Controls, and Engineering Execution leadership as part of a “delivery cell.” This group turns technical scope into an integrated, executable, and measurable delivery plan. The role may support portfolios such as Building Engineering & Physical Design, Electrical, Mechanical, Components, Licensing, or other AP1000 engineering scope. The Program Manager is accountable for portfolio execution, project-management practices, accurate forecasting, proactive issue resolution, and clear escalation, while functional and technical leaders retain technical authority and resource ownership. The position reports to the Director - Project & Portfolio Planning and is hybrid at the Cranberry Woods, Pennsylvania facility.
