Role Description

SB Energy is seeking a Manager with deep industry experience to lead the technical program management for owner-furnished, contractor-installed (OFCI) power and cooling equipment. You will own the integrated execution schedule and the workflow for technical risks, decisions, dependencies, design evolution and changes across equipment packages.

You will collaborate with SB Energy’s clients, OEMs, and vendors to deliver reliable and fast solutions with the best total cost of ownership (TCO) through sound technical decisions, change management, risk management and value engineering programs, controlling avoidable design change, churn, delays and rework.

From day one, you will make independent execution decisions within delegated authority and coordinate approved roadmap and multi-sourcing initiatives. Eventually, you will build a team with sufficient program management capacity to deliver seamlessly across projects and equipment packages.

• Own the risk, action, decision, dependency, and change-control workflow.
• Coordinate client and vendor technical reviews and readiness gates.
• Consolidate change impacts from domain engineers, supplier assurance, Category Procurement, and IBP.

• Schedule approved product-roadmap releases, pilots, fungibility validation, and second-source introductions.
• Provide package readiness dates and execution risks to Integrated Business Planning (IBP).
• Improve execution through practical automation and lessons learned.

Qualifications

• Strong technical program management expertise and success building and leading program teams.
• Extensive OEM program experience involving engineering, manufacturing, and testing.
• Strong power and cooling systems fluency to challenge assumptions and identify technical dependencies.
• A record of recovering threatened milestones across concurrent programs.
• Commercial judgment in acceleration, rework, scope changes, contractual milestones, TCO, and cost-of-delay exposure.
• Expertise in critical-path scheduling, risk/change management, and executive reporting.
• Proficiency with Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or equivalent planning tools.
• Experience coordinating product introductions and alternate-source qualifications.
• Willingness to travel to factories, client locations, and project sites, including internationally.

Requirements
