The Opportunity
Lead Mega-Scale Substation Projects. Relocate to Raleigh. Shape the Future of the Grid.

Are you a Senior Project Manager with a track record of delivering large EPC substation, transmission, and grid infrastructure projects?

Hitachi Energy is seeking a Grid Integration Senior Project Manager to lead some of the most complex and impactful energy projects in North America. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, you'll oversee multi-million-dollar EPC programs that strengthen the power grid, enable renewable integration, and support the growing demand for reliable energy infrastructure.

This position requires relocation to Raleigh, NC, and Hitachi Energy offers a comprehensive relocation package for qualified candidates.

If you've successfully managed high-voltage substation projects, utility infrastructure programs, transmission initiatives, or large EPC projects from award through commissioning, this is an opportunity to take your career to the next level with a global technology leader at the forefront of the energy transition.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Lead large-scale EPC substation projects valued in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars
  • Drive projects that directly support grid modernization and renewable energy integration
  • Partner with engineering, procurement, construction, and utility customers across North America
  • Own project performance from kickoff through final delivery
  • Join a globally recognized leader shaping the future of sustainable energy
  • Receive full relocation support to Raleigh, NC, one of the fastest-growing technology and energy hubs in the country

How You'll Make an Impact
  • Lead the planning, execution, and successful delivery of complex EPC substation and grid integration projects
  • Manage project scope, budget, schedule, risk, and customer expectations throughout the project lifecycle
  • Drive coordination across engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and supply chain teams
  • Maintain project financial performance, including forecasting, cash flow, revenue recognition, and profitability
  • Utilize Earned Value Management and key performance metrics to drive execution excellence
  • Manage customer relationships and serve as the primary escalation point for project delivery
  • Support contract negotiation, change order management, claims mitigation, and commercial strategy
  • Provide executive-level reporting and communication to stakeholders
  • Ensure compliance with all internal and external regulations, procedures, and quality standards

Your Background

We're especially interested in leaders who have successfully delivered large utility, transmission, or substation EPC programs.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field
  • 8+ years of project management experience in complex industrial, utility, infrastructure, or EPC environments
  • Demonstrated experience leading high-voltage substation projects, transmission projects, or utility-scale EPC programs
  • Strong understanding of project financials, forecasting, contract management, and risk mitigation
  • Experience managing customer relationships on large capital projects
  • Prior people leadership experience within a matrixed or multinational organization preferred
  • PMP certification preferred
  • Strong technical, commercial, and leadership capabilities
  • Must have authorization to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship

Location & Relocation

This role is based in Raleigh, North Carolina.

We are actively seeking candidates across the United States and offer a comprehensive relocation package for qualified hires relocating to the Raleigh area.
