This role is accountable for leading project execution with discipline across scope, budget, schedule, quality, safety, compliance, documentation, and stakeholder alignment.\nThe Project Manager acts as the primary project-level operator on behalf of Pivot, translating negotiated commercial terms, preconstruction assumptions, budgets, schedules, and risk positions into executable plans and controlled outcomes. The role protects Pivot’s business interests while coordinating internal stakeholders and external partners including EPCs, suppliers, engineers, utilities, AHJs, owner’s engineers, independent engineers, asset management, revenue operations, legal, project finance,\nprocurement, accounting, compliance, and operations.\nThis role materially supports Pivot’s eight focus areas throughout execution: Stakeholder Management, Contract Management, Quality Management, Financial Management, Schedule Management, Compliance Management, Risk Management, and Document Management.\nThis role sits primarily within the execution phase of the project lifecycle and is responsible for maintaining continuity, control, and accountability across the following stages:\nPreconstruction handoff and execution readiness\nEPC and subcontract execution alignment\nEngineering phase\nProcurement phase\nPermitting phase\nConstruction through Mechanical Completion\nMechanical Completion through Substantial Completion, including commissioning, performance testing, and capacity testing\nSubstantial Completion through Final Completion\nTurnover to O&M, Asset Management, Revenue Operations, and Finance\nInternal project closeout and record completion\nPRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES\n1. Stakeholder Management\nServe as the primary project-level lead across internal teams and external delivery partners.\nMaintain alignment among Preconstruction, Engineering, Construction Management, Procurement, Accounting, Legal, Compliance, Project Finance, Asset Management, Revenue Operations, O&M, EPC contractors, utilities, AHJs, OE, and IE.\nLead regular project working sessions, health reviews, lookaheads, milestone coordinationmeetings, and issue-resolution meetings.\n\nEnsure stakeholders understand current project status, forecast dates, financial exposure, required decisions, and open risks.\nEscalate aged decisions, unresolved cross-functional conflicts, and issues that threaten cost, schedule, quality, or commercial outcomes.\nPreserve continuity from preconstruction assumptions and negotiated contract positions into live project execution.\nCoordinate APMs, coordinators, consultants, and external partners to support clean execution and timely issue closure.\nEnsure facts are presented without bias in order to ensure proper perspectives are informed.\n2. Contract Management\nAdminister Prime EPC agreements, sub-EPC agreements, purchase orders, exhibits, notice provisions, milestone obligations, and change management requirements.\nUnderstand how contract terms, scope exhibits, specifications, schedule commitments, owner obligations, payment mechanics, and relief provisions interact in execution.\nIssue, track, and preserve formal notices in accordance with contractual requirements and Delegation of Authority.\nManage change events, change orders, claims support, and commercial issue resolution with appropriate internal review and escalation.\nCoordinate with Legal and leadership on disputed scope, entitlement positions, contractor nonperformance, schedule relief requests, and material deviations from negotiated terms.\nMaintain disciplined contract logs, issue logs, deviation trackers, and records needed to support enforceable project administration.\nEnsure preconstruction handoff items, scope clarifications, negotiated assumptions, and unresolved commercial risks are actively managed in execution.\n3. Quality Management\nEnsure project quality expectations are translated from contract and design documents into execution controls.\nCoordinate with Construction Management, Quality, Engineering, EPCs, and vendors to manage submittals, inspections, testing, punch, NCRs, and closeout requirements.\nSupport constructability awareness throughout execution and identify quality risks before they turn into rework, delay, or warranty exposure.\nEnsure major material warranties, turnover packages, commissioning records, test reports, and required as-built and acceptance documentation are complete and traceable.\nSupport disciplined preparation for Mechanical Completion, Substantial Completion, Final Completion, and performance and capacity testing milestones.\nReinforce the expectation that quality is a control mechanism, not a cleanup activity at the end ofthe job.\n\n4. Financial Management\nOwn project-level financial control within approved authority, including budget management, commitment alignment, change-event forecasting, contingency usage, and cost-to-complete forecasting.\nEnsures all projects are funding ready from Initial Funding to Final Funding.\nMaintain clear visibility into project budget, cost exposure, projected final cost, and pending commercial decisions.\nManage Estimate-to-Complete, Cost-to-Complete, Estimate at Completion, cash flow awareness, and forecast updates in accordance with company standards.\nWork across Procore, Sage Intacct, Salesforce, Power BI, and related reporting tools to maintain the single source of truth for project financial data.\nReview invoices, pay applications, lien-waiver alignment, milestone backup, and commercial support for payment processing.\nEnsure budget changes, change events, and contingency draws are documented with clear issue, cause, impact, options, resolution, and timing logic.\nProtect continuity from approved contract value to live execution budget to final project closeout\nUnderstand job costing methodologies, cost codes, cost types, budget alignment, and the relationship between project controls and portfolio reporting.\n5. Schedule Management\nDevelop, maintain, review, and manage baselined CPM or logic-based schedules for assigned projects.\nEnsure schedule logic reflects execution reality, procurement durations, engineering dependencies, utility constraints, permitting timing, access constraints, commissioning sequencing, and contractual milestone obligations.\nLead 3-week lookaheads and near-term coordination reviews to drive predictable field and stakeholder execution.\nIdentify critical path risk, out-of-sequence work, milestone slippage, and secondary impacts early enough to influence outcomes.\nCoordinate schedule recovery planning where required and evaluate the schedule implications of design changes, delays, procurement constraints, and contractor performance issues.\nPreserve the distinction between contract dates, internal forecast dates, and risk-adjusted operational dates.\nEnsure schedule assumptions remain traceable from preconstruction handoff through projectcompletion and closeout.\n\n6. Compliance Management\nEnsure execution activities support documented compliance obligations, including safety, environmental requirements, PWA, Domestic Content, FEOC, QA/QC, and funding-related documentation.\nCoordinate with Compliance, Legal, Project Finance, Accounting, Construction Management, and contractors to surface and address compliance gaps early.\nEnsure compliance requirements are translated into execution behaviors, documentation requests, milestone readiness, and payment support.\nTrack project documentation required for audits, lender or investor review, closeout, and long- term asset support.\nAdapt project controls and execution expectations when policy, funding, or compliance requirements change.\nSupport clean turnover of compliance-related records to downstream stakeholders.\n7. Risk Management\nMaintain a proactive, quantified project risk register with clear mitigations, owners, timing, and escalation thresholds.\nDistinguish facts, assumptions, interpretations, active issues, unresolved risks, and probable exposures.\nIdentify and escalate scope, schedule, budget, procurement, utility, permitting, compliance, quality, and contractor-performance risks early.\nUse change events and issue logs as control mechanisms to forecast known cost and schedule movement before formal change orders are complete.\nEvaluate second-order impacts, including effects on financing, turnover timing, revenue start, counterparties, and stakeholder confidence.\nSupport disciplined decision-making under incomplete information.\nProtect the business without losing sight of long-term partner relationships and execution practicality.\n8.
