Summary/Objective

The Program Manager will play a key role in advancing JERA’s strategic growth with responsibility for greenfield, mid-stage and brownfield project management of utility scale power projects encompassing thermal technologies such as combined cycle gas turbines, simple cycle gas turbines, reciprocating and aeroderivative gas turbines.

The role requires a deep understanding of the planning and execution of power generation projects and involves managing complex engineering, procurement, pre-construction (EPC) and execution activities, ensuring successful delivery of utility-scale energy projects that meet performance, budget, and schedule expectations. This role requires strong cross-functional project management, risk management acumen, and the ability to collaborate across internal and external stakeholders to drive value creation.
