Take the next step in your career with us!

Position Specific Description

NextEra Energy is advancing a significant gas generation portfolio. We are seeking a Project Manager to support E&C's engagement across gas project development activities at our Federal Hub efforts — from early-stage technical assessments through construction readiness and project execution.  Immediately focus will be on project reporting development and implementation.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role operating at the intersection of Engineering, Construction, and Integrated Supply Chain. The ideal candidate brings disciplined project  experience, a strong sense of ownership over cost and schedule risk, and the ability to drive cross-functional alignment in a fast-moving, origination-driven environment.

What You'll Do

Project Development Support

Support E&C participation in Technology Review, Preliminary Engineering phases, and contracting for active hub gas development projects

Coordinate E&C SME inputs for site configuration reviews, constructability assessments, and balance-of-plant evaluations including gas and electrical interconnection and switchyard scopes

Track development and regulatory milestones, ensuring construction-phase dependencies are identified and flagged early

Project Controls & Risk Management

Maintain project schedules, cost benchmarks, and cashflow models in support of project sanction decisions

Own and maintain the E&C risk register for hub projects, tracking scope, schedule, cost, and constructability risks across active work streams

Identify and escalate when Development-driven scope changes introduce E&C cost or schedule risk

Support risk-adjusted cost positioning and contingency analysis for leadership reporting

Manage monthly and quarterly progress reporting to the Owner, including schedule status, cost performance, risk exposure, and milestone tracking — ensuring reporting is accurate, timely, and decision-ready

Develop and maintain one-page project dashboards and supporting materials for presentations, covering scope, budget, equipment status, interconnection, permitting, and decisions needed

Prepare and maintain project status packages suitable for executive-level review, ensuring leadership has clear visibility into emerging risks, mitigation actions, and residual exposure

Procurement & Integrated Supply Chain Coordination

Coordinate with Integrated Supply Chain on RFQ inputs, technical scope review, and bid evaluation for major equipment and EPC/EPCM scopes

Support cost comparison analysis between E&C estimates and contractor proposals, flagging material variances as scope alignment risks

Track long-lead equipment status (combustion turbines, HRSGs, transformers, switchgear) and flag supply chain constraints in a capacity-constrained OEM market

What You'll Need

Preferred Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field

5–10 years of experience in energy project development or large capital construction

Demonstrated experience in project controls and schedule development for gas generation or major capital projects

Proven ability to manage Owner-level reporting obligations, including monthly and quarterly progress reports with schedule, cost, and risk content

Familiarity with EPC/EPCM project delivery models and contractor bid evaluation

Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent work streams under competing priorities

Experience with combined cycle or simple cycle gas development projects

Familiarity with interconnection processes and associated E&C scope implications

Experience coordinating long-lead equipment procurement in constrained OEM markets

Exposure to balance-of-plant scopes including switchyard, transmission, and civil/site infrastructure

What Sets You Apart

You own your scope — cost, schedule, and risk — without being asked twice

You bring structure to ambiguous, early-stage environments and make the team around you more effective

You communicate risk clearly and early, before it becomes a problem

You produce Owner-ready reporting that is accurate, decision-focused, and never late

You're as comfortable in a contractor bid review as you are in a leadership status update
