Full Job Description
Leidos Energy is seeking a Power Consultant Senior Project Manager - Transaction Services to play an important part in transactions, giving you an opportunity to contribute to the transformation of the energy industry.

You will be an integral part of an exceptional team of power industry experts, providing consulting services and work products that our clients view as critical inputs to their business decisions. We evaluate a wide variety of technologies, from wind turbines and solar panels to battery storage systems, fuel cells, and advanced fuel conversion technologies.

We provide expertise, guidance, and consultation to our clients, and our work is centered on supporting financial transactions - the development, financing, acquisition and sale of generation (and non-generation) hard assets. We identify technical and commercial risks and help our clients to find and/or evaluate solutions to their challenges. Because we are exposed to numerous unique projects over short periods of time, we (i) are diversified in technologies and commercial approaches to project execution; (ii) contribute to and learn how problems are solved by industry leaders and how those solutions drive financial viability; and (iii) benefit from this knowledge as a team and as individuals, resulting in a professional experience that evolves, is dynamic, and is well-rounded.

Work location: Fully remote will be considered for certain candidates. Ideally, you will live near Denver, CO or Framingham, MA where you will work a hybrid schedule.

What you'll be doing:

  • Collaborate regularly with project developers, utilities, equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, investors, bankers, and legal and financial advisors.
  • Determine, monitor, and review all project economics including costs, operational budgets, staffing requirements, sub-contractors, resources, and risk.
  • Plan, schedule, monitor, and report on activities related to the project.
  • Lead the project teams based on client requirements and objectives.
  • Facilitate status review meetings among project team members and clients.
  • Work with senior management on project proposals, bids, contracts, estimates, and schedules.
  • Manage project requirements, scope, and change issues.
  • Coach and counsel members of cross-functional teams to accomplish project goals, to meet established schedules, and resolve technical or operational issues.
