• All aspects of a project, from cradle to grave, periodically overseeing work in the field.
• We have a construction management group that would be full time in the field, kind of helping oversee and these positions are more of a spot check, making sure things are occurring when they need to, interacting with plant operations to make sure that the needs of the plants are being met, working with our design group to make sure drawings are being properly documented, input in our system, doing shop inspections if needed for equipment that will eventually be shipped to the site.
• In addition, making sure the contract requirements are being followed by both engineering firms and contractors and equipment suppliers up through the closeout of the project and turn over to our operations group, who will be the ones who operate following turnover.
• A little caveat to that for the project manager position is we have a planning group for the large, major kind of strategic projects that plans and develops those projects for us and turns them over to execution.
• Most of the work is already done on those, and we're responsible for taking over all the documentation paperwork, managing of the contracts and everything from them, and then executing upon that work.

• They may need to work with our siting and, our environmental group, definitely our sourcing group; getting contracts issued, project controls to assist with budget management and schedule development and meeting some of our reporting requirements with our capital asset accounting group, in addition to plant operations.
• The people that are actually out there running the facilities and then we have fleet engineering and Reliability engineering teams that we also work very, very closely with to make sure that we're purchasing and implementing standardized equipment and managing the reliability and operational needs of the both of those teams.
• These roles require someone who brings the teams together, who's a good communicator and can make sure these projects are executed successfully.
