- Drive construction execution, permitting coordination, issue resolution, and contractor accountability.
- Monitor project performance and provide clear reporting and recommendations to executive leadership.
- Independently manage highly complex projects or portfolios that may reach multi-billion-dollar scale.

- Significant experience managing large capital projects within thermal power generation.
- Direct project leadership experience with combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) and/or simple-cycle gas turbine (SCGT) facilities.
- Proven experience delivering projects through the complete lifecycle, from development through commercial operation and turnover.
- Strong background managing EPC contractors, Owner’s Engineers, OEMs, major equipment suppliers, and construction contractors.
- Demonstrated expertise in project controls, scheduling, cost management, risk management, procurement, permitting, and construction execution.
