Title: Vice President, Project Delivery

Hours: Full time; Salaried

Location: Salt Lake City, UT (in-office)

Benefits Eligible: Yes

Manager: Ryan McGraw

Geothermal energy is the most abundant renewable energy source on the planet, yet it remains under-deployed because it has historically been hard to find and expensive to build. Zanskar is changing that equation by using advanced exploration technology to discover new geothermal resources at unprecedented scale, and we’re moving a multi-gigawatt portfolio toward construction.

We are hiring a Vice President, Project Delivery to own the full engineering-through-commissioning lifecycle for Zanskar's greenfield geothermal facilities. Acting initially as a senior independent contributor with significant cross-functional leadership influence, you will deliver our first plants on time and on budget while building the team, vendor relationships, and repeatable systems required to scale project delivery across the portfolio. This is a high-impact, executive-level role reporting to the Chief Development Officer and collaborating closely with leadership across Development, Subsurface, Operations, Finance, and Land & Permitting.

Success in this role includes executing all necessary agreements for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) for Zanskar’s portfolio of late-stage geothermal development projects located across the western USA, managing all construction partners, and ultimately delivering projects on-time and on-budget in alignment with Zanskar’s goals. This will require internal cross-functional leadership to build an aligned strategy for standardized plant designs, large-scale field construction and project execution, building key relationships with supply chain partners, and deep technical expertise. We expect you to:

Develop and execute an EPC strategy across Zanskar’s portfolio;

Quickly identify and procure long-lead, critical path equipment;

Build partnerships with consultants for engineering, overseeing Front End Engineering Design;

Negotiate & execute construction contracts;

Deliver plant construction on-time, on-budget, and with the highest safety standards until performance guarantees are met and project hand-off to the operations team is complete;

Develop and manage EPC budgets; and

Innovate new solutions for increased efficiency, decreased time to power, and decreased capital requirements.

Significant EPC Experience (EPC Contractor +/or Developer/Owner). 10+ years experience at a mid- to large-scale EPC firm or developer/owner where delivery and commercial decisions are tightly linked.

Entrepreneurial system builder that leaves lasting improvements. Track record of developing new processes and tools that improve results over time in alignment with our value to “Blaze a trail, leave a legacy.”

Leads from the front with high involvement. Sets direction and standards, while staying close to the work where it matters to ensure delivery of the highest quality across engineering, procurement, and construction.

Communicates clearly across disciplines. Surfaces issues early and communicates for understanding with a multidisciplinary team spanning our cross-functional resource, land, permitting, development, and finance teams.

Strong project management: Keeps projects on-track despite challenges and constraints while also maintaining high integrity and safety.

Certification: BS in Engineering; Professional Engineering license, MBA, or PMP certification
