About The Position

Turner & Townsend is seeking a Project Manager to serve as the Owner’s Representative for a marine dock and terminal scope in Ohio.

The role coordinates technical and operational interfaces across marine, civil/structural, piping, mechanical, electrical, controls, operations, maintenance, environmental, regulatory, and commercial functions. It also provides oversight for marine-dock vapor destruction units and additional dock flush tanks and their associated systems, from design through installation, commissioning, and startup. The position monitors scope, cost, schedule, risk, change management, field quality, and contractor execution; provides leadership updates and recommendations; and supports construction, commissioning, turnover, and startup, including resolution of refinery-to-dock interface issues. SOX control responsibilities may apply and must be followed where applicable.
