Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Antora Energy is seeking a Senior Project Manager to deliver interconnection engineering and grid infrastructure for its thermal energy storage projects across multiple RTOs/ISOs. The role manages engineering and construction partners, project scope, budgets, schedules, procurement, and cross-functional coordination.
Responsibilities
- Manage engineering firms from concept through issued-for-construction design, covering substations, switchyards, POI configurations, protection and control, metering, grounding, and equipment specifications. Optimize configurations for reliability and cost
- Ensure designs incorporate interconnection studies and GIA/LGIA/DIA obligations; resolve changes affecting design, cost, or schedule
- Lead utility and transmission owner coordination on facilities and network upgrades, including scope, estimates, transmission-owner-built versus self-built options, engineering reviews, and milestones
- Manage Owner’s Engineer and EPC interfaces, define scope boundaries, coordinate long-lead equipment procurement and negotiations, and oversee construction with EPC and engineering teams. Deliver complete packages for construction and commissioning
- Write SOWs and manage RFPs, technical and commercial bid evaluation, contracting, purchase orders, invoices, budgets, change management, and closeout
- Define deliverables, dependencies, exclusions, and separately priced uncertain tasks. Assess relevant experience and gaps, enforce not-to-exceed estimates, and reject fixed-price or fixed-timeline commitments without documented precedent
- Maintain reusable SOW templates, vendor qualification standards, and bid evaluation criteria
- Own integrated schedules, critical paths, dependencies, and milestones. Maintain one portfolio record of deliverables, technical assumptions, open issues, and RTO/TO correspondence
- Partner with interconnection/grid engineering, development, execution, product engineering, operations, commercial, legal, and finance teams to align delivery with project commitments. Communicate cost, schedule, and risk to leadership and nontechnical stakeholders; escalate critical-path exposure early
Skills
- 6+ years managing capital energy or electric infrastructure projects: generation, storage, substations, or transmission—with direct accountability for vendor scope, budgets, schedules, and change management
- Experience designing interconnection configurations, evaluating feasibility, selecting and procuring equipment, and coordinating interconnection/substation engineering with utilities and transmission owners
- Ability to identify gaps in one-line diagrams, protection schemes, point lists, interface control documents, and architecture diagrams
- Working knowledge of interconnection studies, GIA/LGIA obligations, and the scoping, costing, and construction of interconnection facilities and network upgrades
- Strong technical writing and ability to independently manage concurrent projects across geographies and counterparties, navigate ambiguity, prioritize competing deadlines, and raise issues early
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, another engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- Exposure to ICCP, RTU integration, or RTO telemetry validation, and to resource integration or ICCP modeling teams
- Experience with synchronous generator telemetry, settlement-quality metering, and co-located, hybrid, or surplus interconnection configurations
- Utility, transmission owner, IPP, or developer-side delivery experience
Benefits
- Equity compensation in the form of stock options
- A premium health benefits package with life and disability insurance
- A 401K plan with employer contributions
- Flexible spending accounts
