The OpportunityLead Mega-Scale Substation Projects. Relocate to Raleigh. Shape the Future of the Grid.

Are you a Senior Project Manager with a track record of delivering large EPC substation, transmission, and grid infrastructure projects?

Hitachi Energy is seeking a Grid Integration Senior Project Manager to lead some of the most complex and impactful energy projects in North America. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, you'll oversee multi-million-dollar EPC programs that strengthen the power grid, enable renewable integration, and support the growing demand for reliable energy infrastructure.

This position requires relocation to Raleigh, NC, and Hitachi Energy offers a comprehensive relocation package for qualified candidates.

If you've successfully managed high-voltage substation projects, utility infrastructure programs, transmission initiatives, or large EPC projects from award through commissioning, this is an opportunity to take your career to the next level with a global technology leader at the forefront of the energy transition.

• Lead the planning, execution, and successful delivery of complex EPC substation and grid integration projects
• Manage project scope, budget, schedule, risk, and customer expectations throughout the project lifecycle
• Drive coordination across engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and supply chain teams
• Maintain project financial performance, including forecasting, cash flow, revenue recognition, and profitability
• Utilize Earned Value Management and key performance metrics to drive execution excellence
• Manage customer relationships and serve as the primary escalation point for project delivery
• Support contract negotiation, change order management, claims mitigation, and commercial strategy
• Provide executive-level reporting and communication to stakeholders
• Ensure compliance with all internal and external regulations, procedures, and quality standards
