Job Summary

The Project Manager II (PM-II) is accountable for managing, or assisting with managing, all phases of project planning and execution. The role may work independently as the single point of accountability or under the general direction of the Manager of Outage and Projects.

The PM-II integrates scope, schedule, cost, quality, safety, environmental, regulatory, security, communications, risk, and stakeholder requirements to deliver successful project outcomes.

Higher ranked projects with greater risk may also be assigned when accompanied with an Enhanced Support and Oversight Plan (ESOP).

The PM-II serves as a unifying agent who provides leadership, decision-making, coordination, and control in accordance with Company policies, RRE procedures, project governance requirements, and applicable laws and regulations.
