We deliver tailored energy solutions that fuel economic growth, strengthen communities, and help customers achieve their energy goals. Ready to make a lasting impact? Take the next step in your career with us! Position Specific Description NextEra Energy is advancing a significant gas generation portfolio. We are seeking a Project Manager to support E&C's engagement across gas project development activities at our Federal Hub efforts — from early-stage technical assessments through construction readiness and project execution. Immediately focus will be on project reporting development and implementation. This is a hands-on, high-impact role operating at the intersection of Engineering, Construction, and Integrated Supply Chain. The ideal candidate brings disciplined project experience, a strong sense of ownership over cost and schedule risk, and the ability to drive cross-functional alignment in a fast-moving, origination-driven environment. What You'll Do Project Development Support
Support E&C participation in Technology Review, Preliminary Engineering phases, and contracting for active hub gas development projects Coordinate E&C SME inputs for site configuration reviews, constructability assessments, and balance-of-plant evaluations including gas and electrical interconnection and switchyard scopes Track development and regulatory milestones, ensuring construction-phase dependencies are identified and flagged early
Project Controls & Risk Management
Maintain project schedules, cost benchmarks, and cashflow models in support of project sanction decisions Own and maintain the E&C risk register for hub projects, tracking scope, schedule, cost, and constructability risks across active work streams Identify and escalate when Development-driven scope changes introduce E&C cost or schedule risk Support risk-adjusted cost positioning and contingency analysis for leadership reporting Manage monthly and quarterly progress reporting to the Owner, including schedule status, cost performance, risk exposure, and milestone tracking — ensuring reporting is accurate, timely, and decision-ready Develop and maintain one-page project dashboards and supporting materials for presentations, covering scope, budget, equipment status, interconnection, permitting, and decisions needed Prepare and maintain project status packages suitable for executive-level review, ensuring leadership has clear visibility into emerging risks, mitigation actions, and residual exposure
Procurement & Integrated Supply Chain Coordination
Coordinate with Integrated Supply Chain on RFQ inputs, technical scope review, and bid evaluation for major equipment and EPC/EPCM scopes Support cost comparison analysis between E&C estimates and contractor proposals, flagging material variances as scope alignment risks Track long-lead equipment status (combustion turbines, HRSGs, transformers, switchgear) and flag supply chain constraints in a capacity-constrained OEM market
What You'll Need Required
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field 5–10 years of experience in energy project development or large capital construction Demonstrated experience in project controls and schedule development for gas generation or major capital projects Proven ability to manage Owner-level reporting obligations, including monthly and quarterly progress reports with schedule, cost, and risk content Familiarity with EPC/EPCM project delivery models and contractor bid evaluation Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent work streams under competing priorities
Preferred
Experience with combined cycle or simple cycle gas development projects Familiarity with interconnection processes and associated E&C scope
