Lead Complex Projects From Engineering Through Execution

CANUSA EPC is seeking an accomplished Senior Project Manager - Power Generation & EPC to lead the execution of large-scale power generation, electrical infrastructure, and industrial EPC projects.

This is a senior, client-facing leadership position responsible for driving complex projects from engineering and procurement through construction, commissioning, startup, and turnover.

We're looking for an experienced project leader who understands what it takes to successfully execute large, multidisciplinary EPC projects-not simply manage schedules and reports.

The ideal candidate brings significant experience with gas turbine, steam turbine, combined-cycle, cogeneration, electrical infrastructure, or large industrial facilities and is comfortable taking ownership of project performance, client relationships, multidisciplinary teams, commercial considerations, schedule, cost, and risk.

What You'll Do
Project & Client Leadership

Serve as a primary liaison with clients, ensuring project objectives, deliverables, schedules, budgets, and performance expectations are achieved

Lead multidisciplinary project teams throughout engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, startup, and turnover

Establish project execution strategies, priorities, milestones, and team expectations

Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, forecasts, burn rates, KPIs, and overall financial performance

Identify project risks, constraints, and potential impacts and drive appropriate mitigation strategies

Lead client, project, technical, vendor, and executive-level coordination meetings

Manage project changes and associated commercial, schedule, and contractual impacts

Coordinate directly with client engineering, operations, construction, commissioning, and maintenance teams

Maintain robust client relationships throughout project execution

Support proposals, estimating, client presentations, and strategic business development opportunities

Engineering & Technical Oversight

Review and coordinate multidisciplinary engineering deliverables across Process, Mechanical, Piping, Civil, Structural, Electrical, Instrumentation, Controls, and Power Generation disciplines

Review P&IDs;, Plot Plans, Equipment Layouts, Electrical Single Line Diagrams, Protection and Control Schematics, and engineering design packages

Provide technical oversight for gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, transformers, switchgear, substations, power distribution systems, rotating equipment, instrumentation, controls, and packaged equipment

Coordinate engineering disciplines throughout detailed design and ensure alignment with project scope, schedule, constructability, and client requirements

Review engineering calculations, equipment sizing, power system studies, specifications, and technical documentation

Lead constructability reviews and field walkdowns

Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers, designers, discipline leads, and project personnel

Procurement, Vendors & OEM Coordination

Support major equipment procurement and technical bid evaluations

Participate in OEM and vendor evaluation and selection

Review vendor drawings, equipment submittals, specifications, and technical documentation

Monitor vendor engineering progress, cost,



schedule, and compliance with project requirements

Coordinate directly with turbine OEMs, equipment manufacturers, utility providers, vendors, and subcontractors

Identify vendor-related risks and drive resolution of technical, commercial, and schedule issues

Support procurement and supply chain planning for major equipment and long-lead items

Construction, Commissioning & Startup

Support construction planning, constructability, logistics, and field execution

Coordinate engineering support during construction and facilitate resolution of field-related technical issues

Support commissioning, startup, performance testing, and turnover of turbine, electrical, and balance-of-plant systems

Coordinate with construction, commissioning, operations, OEM, and client teams during project completion

Ensure engineering and vendor documentation supports successful turnover and long-term facility operation

What We're Looking For
This position requires someone who has successfully led complex projects through real-world execution.

You should understand how engineering decisions impact procurement, construction, commissioning, schedule, cost, commercial performance, and ultimately what happens in the field.
