Project Engineering Manager, Power Generation

CAM Integrated Solutions LLC•Houston, TX

2d•Hybrid

About The Position

The Project/Engineering Manager is responsible for leading all engineering disciplines—civil, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation & controls—across the full lifecycle of simple cycle and combined cycle power plant projects. This role provides technical leadership, ensures engineering quality, and drives execution from early conceptual design through detailed engineering, construction support, commissioning, and performance testing. The position requires a strong understanding of how large-scale power plant projects are executed, with a focus on schedule adherence, quality, constructability, and successful project delivery.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or related Engineering discipline
12+ years of experience in power generation engineering, including: Combined cycle and/or simple cycle power plant projects
Direct involvement in at least one successful full-cycle plant delivery (design through commissioning and performance testing)
Demonstrated experience leading multi-discipline engineering teams on complex infrastructure projects.
Deep understanding of power plant design and execution, including: Gas turbines, steam cycles, HRSGs, and balance of plant systems
Strong familiarity with engineering codes and standards, including but not limited to: ASME, API, ANSI, IEEE, NFPA, IEC, ISO
Proven ability to manage: Engineering schedules and deliverables, Quality assurance and design control processes
Experience working within EPC or owner’s engineering environments.
