Substation project managers run multi-million-dollar engineering, procurement, and construction efforts from kickoff through energization. They coordinate engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning teams, manage utility client relationships, control budget and schedule, and own the deliverables that move a substation project from drawing board to in-service. The role is in high demand across investor-owned utilities, electric cooperatives, and EPC firms supporting grid modernization and renewables interconnection.
