Fleet is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with satellite offices in Seattle, Washington and Arlington, Virginia.

Position Overview :

The Principal Technical Program Manager owns the delivery roadmap for Fleet's behind-the-meter (BTM) power solutions. These solutions can range from gas-powered assets, such as gas engines, turbines, and fuel cells, to batteries and renewable technologies. This role leads cross-functional roadmap planning, productization, and execution across solution design, construction, commissioning (CX), operations, and fuel strategy to scale repeatable deployments and deliver predictable customer outcomes.

Responsibilities :

The successful candidate will have experience and practical expertise in the following :

  • Own and maintain the BTM solutions product roadmap : scope, sequencing, and feature priorities that enable scalable deployment across campuses.
  • Translate customer requirements into clear success metrics (availability, readiness, cost, schedule, compliance).
  • Lead cross-functional execution across engineering, construction, commissioning (CX), operations, procurement, legal, finance, and fuel strategy.
  • Define product and program governance, milestones, and decision gates to ensure disciplined delivery and risk management.
  • Partner with engineering teams to standardize architectures, BODs, and acceptance criteria; ensure lessons learned are captured and institutionalized.
  • Drive vendor strategy inputs with Procurement and Engineering : performance expectations, SLAs / KPIs, scorecards, and continuous improvement mechanisms.
  • Support customer-facing communications and executive reporting for program status, risks, and outcomes.
  • Establish and track portfolio-level KPIs (deployment velocity, readiness, reliability, cost drivers) and drive improvements over time.

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.
  • 10+ years in technical product management, program management, or systems engineering in mission-critical infrastructure, energy, or data centers.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • PMP - or equivalent Project Management Certification
  • MBA
  • Experience scaling a hardware + services product (standardization, supplier management, deployment playbooks).
  • Strong understanding of power generation / electrical infrastructure concepts and commissioning processes.
  • Experience with risk management, change control, and incident response practices in critical environments.
  • Certifications such as PMP or Agile product certifications are a plus.
  • Required Traits, Expertise, and Skills :

  • Integrity and Ethical Standards : Build trust, ensure fairness, and foster long-term, transparent relationships with suppliers.
  • Effective Communication : The ability to clearly convey expectations and requirements to suppliers and negotiation parties, while understanding their needs and concerns. Comfortable delivering written and verbal presentations to internal leadership teams.
  • Emotional Intelligence (EQ) : Ability to understand the emotions, cultural nuances, and motivations of others, while effectively managing one's own emotions during high-pressure negotiations.
  • Strategic Thinking : Recognize how supplier relationships and negotiations align with the broader organizational goals, while aiming for outcomes that benefit both parties.
  • Critical Thinking Skills : Finding innovative solutions and being flexible in addressing unexpected challenges.
  • Analytical Ability : Make data-driven decisions, assess cost structures, and identify potential risks, ensuring informed and strategic outcomes.
  • Influence and Persuasion : Able to effectively advocate for their position, build consensus, and secure favorable agreements without compromising relationships.
  • Operational Paranoia : Anticipate risks, identify vulnerabilities, and proactively implement mechanisms to prevent and minimize disruptions and safeguard safety, security, availability, and scale.
  • Relationship Management : Cultivate trust, collaboration, and long-term partnerships, while building a broad network that provides valuable benchmarking, industry insights, and alternative sourcing options.
  • Location and Travel :

  • Work location is flexible to Seattle, WA, Denver, CO, or Alexandria, VA.
