The Role: Project Delivery Manager (PDM) - United States

LIFTE is seeking motivated individuals with experience in energy infrastructure deployment. You will be accountable for the safe delivery of novel systems into first of a kind hydrogen projects on multiple continents through the oversight and management of regional delivery teams and third-party contractors.

As many of LIFTE’s projects have little precedent, you will excel at working with local authorities, customers, local engineering companies, and trades that have little to no experience with hydrogen. You will be resourceful and pragmatic, leveraging LIFTE’s product development, engineering, asset management, supply chain management, and program management teams.

You will have an eye on the current projects in deployment and the future funnel seeking to standardize, replicate, and modularize products and services. Each project deployed in a region should be faster, easier to do, safer, and cheaper.

LIFTE’s PDMs are responsible for protecting and enhancing the safety, quality, and competitiveness of LIFTE projects throughout construction. The successful candidate will have extensive experience managing multi-million dollar construction projects and EPC contractors, and will be a trusted and dynamic team leader.  

The PDM will report directly to the Head of Program Management.
