About The Position

We specialize in planning and upgrading electric distribution systems, leveraging decades of experience with power producers, utilities, commercial and industrial facilities, and municipalities. Our expertise spans distribution planning analysis tools, feeder design, voltage control, and grid modernization programs. Our engineering teams coordinate capacity expansion and delivery projects to enhance system reliability, including downtown networks, power lines, and underground and overhead planning. We also provide comprehensive inspections and permitting before commissioning. Our ENTRUST geospatial and data analytics support, combined with advanced automation tools, ensures precise reporting and documentation across distribution routes. As a Project Manager, you’ll lead electric distribution design and engineering programs supporting our clients' distribution systems in the Mid-Atlantic region. This is a program‑based role, not a one‑off project position—you’ll oversee a steady pipeline of distribution work that keeps the electric grid reliable, modern, and ready for future demand. You’ll partner closely with client stakeholders, internal engineering and design teams, and external agencies to deliver high‑quality work—on time, on budget, and in line with client and program standards. This role blends project delivery, client partnership, and team leadership. These programs are long‑term, fast‑moving, and highly collaborative—ideal for PMs who enjoy structure, variety, and visible impact.
