THE WORK:- You'll act as the client's owner's representative, embedded alongside and managing the SaaS vendor (Octave) through the design and build stage - detailed discovery, configuration design, integration configuration and build, test, and data migration for the pilot projects.
- You'll manage the vendor relationship end to end - governing scope, schedule, quality, commercial terms, and product roadmap dependencies, and holding the vendor to the statement of work as a demanding but constructive client.
- You'll review, challenge, and sign off on the vendor's configuration design and solution architecture to ensure fit with the client's established capital projects controls practices, standards, and program objectives.
- You'll oversee integration design and build across scheduling (e.g., Primavera P6), finance/ERP (e.g., SAP), and reporting/analytics data feeds (e.g., a data warehouse via API), ensuring cost and schedule data integrate cleanly and consistently across systems.
- You'll hold the vendor to scope, schedule, quality, and acceptance criteria against the statement of work; track, document, and drive issues, risks, and change requests through to resolution, escalating where required.
- You'll govern the data migration approach and validate migrated data for the pilot projects prior to stage-gate acceptance.
- You'll assure the vendor's test strategy, execution, and results; confirm defined acceptance criteria are met before progressing each stage gate.
- You'll coordinate stakeholder engagement across scheduling, finance, IT and enterprise architecture, and controls leadership, keeping delivery aligned to program priorities.
- You'll develop the implementation and rollout approach for scaling the solution beyond the pilot, including a wave-based rollout structure, sequencing, resourcing, and governance model.
- You'll provide hands-on technical project management across parallel workstreams - planning, sequencing, dependency and interface management, and risk-based delivery control - in a complex, multi-project operating environment.
- You'll lead the client-side implementation team through rollout, managing the transition from vendor-led delivery to owner-led implementation and embedding in-house delivery capability.
- You'll establish and enforce data and controls standards to ensure consistency across projects and systems as the platform scales.
- You'll formulate program controls processes to monitor scope, cost, schedule, contract, risk, quality, and performance across the rolled-out portfolio.
- You'll lead organizational change management (OCM) across a complex operating environment - stakeholder and impact analysis, process redesign, training, communications, and adoption tracking - to embed new ways of working and realize the intended benefits.
- You'll prepare and present progress, risk, and stage-gate reports to program and executive leadership, supporting recommendations and decisions on delivery.
- You'll identify delivery risks and implement mitigation and contingency strategies across both the vendor-led and owner-led phases.
- Remote: This role allows for remote work for the majority of your work hours.
With all our roles, there is some in-person time for collaboration, learning and building relationships with clients, peers, leaders and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:- Minimum of 10 years of experience in capital projects controls, enterprise systems implementation, or technical project management on large or complex programs
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, Project Management, Information Systems, or a related field
- Ability to work report on-site as needed
- This position is a 12-month contract with the possibility of receiving extension
BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:- Demonstrated experience implementing or overseeing the implementation of EcoSys (Octave Enterprise Project Performance, formerly Hexagon EcoSys) or similar
- Proven experience managing a SaaS software vendor through a design, configuration, and build lifecycle as an owner's representative - governing scope, quality, commercial terms, and acceptance against a statement of work
- Strong technical project management capability - planning, sequencing, dependency and interface management, and risk-based delivery control across parallel workstreams
- Demonstrated organizational change management (OCM) experience leading the adoption of new systems and processes across a large, complex operating environment
- Working knowledge of integrating enterprise project systems - scheduling, finance/ERP, and reporting/analytics - so that cost and schedule data flow consistently across platforms
- Strong grounding in project controls fundamentals - cost, schedule, contracts, change, and reporting - in a capital projects context
- Experience delivering enterprise systems or controls transformation in a large, asset-intensive or capital-intensive operating environment
- Familiarity with master data management and data integration challenges across enterprise project systems
- Recognized project management, program, or change certification (e.g., PMP, MSP, P3O, Agile, Prosci/OCM)
- Proven experience managing multiple concurrent, parallel system implementation or integration workstreams under a compressed timeline
- Experience leading, coaching, and building an in-house delivery team from a vendor-led starting point
