At Olsson, we are passionate about improving communities through expert engineering and design. Our people are our greatest asset, and we are committed to creating an environment where you can grow, lead, and make an impact.

We are seeking a Project Manager to lead the Short Circuit, Coordination, and Arc Flash (SCCAF) process for complex data center projects. In this role, you will bring clients, contractors, and technical teams together around the information, decisions, and milestones needed to deliver coordinated electrical studies. You will help move the work from kickoff through final reports and labels while supporting system reliability, personnel safety, and a smooth transition from design into construction.

What You'll Do

• Serve as the primary point of contact for SCCAF coordination among the client, general contractor, electrical contractor, and Olsson engineering team.
• Lead the SCCAF process from project kickoff through final reports and labels, keeping the work aligned with construction milestones and project priorities.
• Develop and maintain a detailed SCCAF schedule, adjusting it as project information, equipment data, and construction activities evolve.
• Coordinate the flow of SCCAF information and deliverables, including requests for information, submittals, equipment data, settings, labels, study revisions, and final reports.
• Track required inputs and follow up with project partners to address missing information, field discrepancies, late design changes, or other items that may affect progress.
• Plan, lead, and document SCCAF coordination meetings while maintaining clear action items, responsibilities, and follow-up.
• Partner with technical teams to support quality, consistency, and alignment between SCCAF deliverables and approved construction documents.
• Identify schedule, coordination, and project delivery risks early and work with stakeholders to develop practical solutions.
• Support project management activities, including deliverable tracking, document control, invoicing coordination, project reporting, and adherence to Olsson's quality processes.

Qualifications

• You are passionate about working collaboratively with others.
• You have ownership in the work you do.

• 2+ years of project management, project coordination, or related leadership experience, which may be concurrent with overall project experience.
• Familiarity with electrical engineering and design terminology. Experience supporting short circuit, coordination, arc flash, power studies, or construction-phase electrical work is beneficial.
• Understanding of project schedules, contracts, project financials, documentation, and multidisciplinary coordination.
• Strong communication, organization, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to build effective relationships, create accountability, and coordinate information across clients, contractors, and technical teams.
• Commitment to exceptional client service, quality, and safety.

Requirements
