A bit about us:
Our client is developing one of the most ambitious integrated energy campuses in North America — an 11 GW multi-modal generation platform designed to support next-generation industrial and computing infrastructure.
This campus integrates gas-fired generation, nuclear monitoring interfaces, hypergrid architecture, cybersecurity systems, water treatment, hybrid cooling infrastructure, and AI-enabled operational intelligence into a single, unified ecosystem.
At the center of this effort is the Centralized Command & Control Facility (C3F) — the operational brain of the entire campus. This facility will provide real-time monitoring, control, security, optimization, and future AI-enabled operational analytics across all generation and infrastructure assets.
This is not an incremental expansion of existing infrastructure. It is a first-of-its-kind build, designed from the ground up.
Why join us?
🚀 Build Something That Does Not Yet Exist
The C3F is not a retrofit or upgrade — it is a greenfield opportunity to architect and deliver an integrated command-and-control environment at gigawatt scale.
🧠 Architect the Operational Brain of an 11 GW Campus
You will define the control system architecture that integrates DCS, SCADA, BMS, OT/IT systems, cybersecurity, physical security, and advanced analytics into a unified platform.
⚡ Mission-Critical Impact
This role directly influences safe, reliable, and accelerated execution of a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure platform.
🎯 Executive Visibility & Influence
You will work directly with senior engineering leadership and executive stakeholders, reporting progress on schedule, cost, risk, and system readiness.
💼 Compensation & Leadership Scope
Target base range: $225,000 – $300,000 depending on experience
Performance incentives aligned to project delivery milestones
Relocation support available
High-autonomy leadership role in a technically ambitious environment
This is a legacy-defining opportunity for a leader who wants ownership, speed, and scale.
Job Details
The Project Director – Automation & Control is responsible for full lifecycle delivery of the Centralized Command & Control Facility (C3F). This mission-critical facility will serve as the operational intelligence hub for an integrated 11 GW energy campus.
This role is not a traditional project director position. It requires a senior technical leader with deep experience in industrial automation, integrated control systems, power generation environments, system verification and validation, and commissioning.
Extreme ownership, systems thinking, and the ability to execute in a fast-paced build environment are essential.
Key Responsibilities
End-to-End Ownership
Lead full lifecycle delivery of the C3F from architecture through commissioning and operational readiness
Own schedule, cost, risk, and execution performance reporting to executive leadership
Control System Architecture
Define and implement integrated control architecture across DCS, SCADA, BMS, OT/IT, and security platforms
Ensure secure, reliable, and scalable control across generation and infrastructure assets
System Integration & Commissioning
Oversee multidisciplinary integration across EPCs, OEMs, system integrators, and technology partners
Lead verification, validation, commissioning, and handover to operations
Establish rigorous system testing and performance standards
Integrated Infrastructure Oversight
Enable centralized monitoring and control of:
Gas-fired generation assets
Nuclear monitoring interfaces
Hypergrid infrastructure
Cybersecurity and physical security systems
Water treatment facilities
Hybrid cooling systems
Future-Ready Data & AI Enablement
Architect AI-ready data pipelines and operational analytics frameworks
Support predictive optimization and long-term digital transformation initiatives
Execution Excellence
Drive accelerated delivery while maintaining safety, quality, and regulatory rigor
Operate effectively in a startup-oriented, high-accountability culture
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related technical discipline
20 years of experience in industrial automation, control systems, or instrumentation & controls delivery
Demonstrated leadership delivering large-scale, mission-critical control environments
Deep expertise in DCS/SCADA architecture, system integration, and commissioning
Strong understanding of industrial cybersecurity and OT/IT convergence
Key Attributes
Extreme ownership and accountability
Exceptional attention to detail
Strong systems-thinking mindset
Comfortable operating in high-growth, fast-paced environments
Innovative, pragmatic, results-driven leadership style
