Job Summary (Simple / Candidate-Friendly)
This role is for a Senior IT Project Manager leading a large Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI 2.0) program.

You’ll be responsible for technical planning, resource strategy, and ensuring successful delivery of a complex utility IT program.

• Oversee integration, data, infrastructure, and testing workstreams
• Plan build phase readiness (environments, testing, deployment)

• Manage budget, scope, timelines, and risks
• Act as a hands-on PM while also leading the team

 
Must-Have Skills

• Experience in utility or regulated industries
• Experience with AMI / Smart Grid projects (AMI 1.0 or 2.0)
• Strong knowledge of:
  • IT infrastructure
  • System integrations (MDMS, OMS, SAP, ADMS, etc.)
• Experience with solution blueprinting & implementation planning
• Experience in cloud migration (on-prem → cloud)
• Strong stakeholder management & leadership skills
• Ability to work across business + technical domains
• Hands-on execution mindset (not just oversight)

 
Nice-to-Have / Preferred

• Understanding of meter-to-cash process
• Experience with large data conversion projects
• Experience in strategy / consulting / planning roles
• Strong Excel & data analysis skills
• Ability to present to senior leadership & non-technical stakeholders
