Overview

Lead constructability planning for transmission projects, aligning planning with construction

Key Responsibilities

• constructability review
• planning story
• outage sequencing
• transmission build
• schedule optimization
• stakeholder coordination

Tasks

-Contribute to internal constructability reviews, strategy meetings, and pre-construction risk workshops. -Serve as a subject matter liaison between Planning and Construction to ensure scope handoffs are aligned with field execution needs. -Develop “planning story” documents identifying all system components that will be affected by project construction. -Review portfolios of projects in common geographic or electrical zones to propose optimized sequencing and outage strategies across multiple years. -Identify outage windows, ERCOT moratorium constraints (e.g., summer peak), and interdependencies between projects that impact buildability. -Support the development of 3–5 year transmission build programs, incorporating constructability logic into the planning cycle. -Collaborate with internal Transmission Planning, Engineering, and Construction groups to shape the long-range buildout schedule in a way that maximizes system reliability and construction efficiency. -Analyze and interpret “Planning Stories” developed by ERCOT and internal planners to identify project scope, system drivers, and regional impacts. -Work with all project stakeholders to ensure accountability to the project plan and schedule.
