• Prepare variance explanations and regular project status reports covering milestones, roadblocks, risks, and financial performance.
• Lead weekly or bi-weekly project and stakeholder meetings.
• Coordinate completion of field as-builts, GIS/mapping documentation, and project closeout activities.
• Support financial reconciliation and timely closeout of SAP job orders.

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience using critical-path scheduling tools such as Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project.
• Experience supporting project scope, schedule, budget, forecasting, risk, and change management.
• Ability to coordinate effectively with engineering, construction, contractors, municipalities, and cross-functional utility stakeholders.
• Strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting electric distribution capital projects for PG&E or another regulated electric utility.
• Experience managing projects involving overhead and underground distribution, Rule 20A/20B undergrounding, voltage conversions, reconductoring, switch installations, or new distribution circuits.
• Hands-on experience with SAP Work Management and Primavera P6 and/or Microsoft Project.
• Experience supporting project estimating, budgeting, forecasting, change orders, contingency management, and financial variance reporting.
• Familiarity with utility permitting, environmental requirements, right-of-way coordination, material procurement, and construction sequencing.
• Experience coordinating directly with utility engineering teams, field construction crews, contractors, municipalities, and other external stakeholders.
• Previous experience conducting field site visits, job walks, and construction progress reviews.
