Project Manager

Piper Maddox
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 5/22/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/17/2026

Piper Maddox are partnered with a strong and growing power generation developer. They are backed by a large, well-capitalized parent, as well as receive a massive return on investment from their thermal assets, creating real stability around project financing, long-term growth, and overall business durability. At the same time, the team is entering an exciting phase — building out its renewables platform with strong financial backing and a genuine appetite to invest, which gives the project manager a chance to join at a high-impact moment.


This position goes beyond pure project execution. It offers exposure across development, financing, and engineering, so the work feels much closer to the full lifecycle of a project than a typical siloed PM position. Travel to office is only about once a week and the projects in the pipeline are 300MW in size.


The right candidate can:

  • Coordinate with development, engineering, procurement, and finance teams to transition projects from development to construction.
  • Oversee EPC and subcontractor performance, ensuring compliance with contractual, technical, and safety requirements.
  • Lead site mobilization, logistics, and construction sequencing in alignment with project milestones.
  • Develop and track detailed project schedules using Primavera P6 or MS Project.
  • Manage RFIs, change orders, and progress payments in collaboration with the project controls team.
