Crusoe Manager of Power Distribution Programs at Crusoe leading project management for Switchboards & Switchgear sector. Owns portfolio delivery, margin, and development of project management team.
Responsibilities
Join our team as the Manager of Power Distribution Programs and take ownership of the project management function for our entire Switchboards & Switchgear sector — low voltage, medium voltage, skid integration, and custom switchboard assemblies. You will own portfolio delivery performance, margin, and the development of the project management team beneath you.
Power Distribution is the highest-volume manufacturing sector in the business and the one under the most acute growth pressure. Hyperscale demand for switchgear and PDC-mounted distribution is outrunning conventional lead times, and the sector is simultaneously expanding into medium voltage. This role must deliver current commitments while building the management structure to absorb what is coming.
This is a working leadership role. You'll manage project managers, own the portfolio, and personally carry the most sensitive customer programs. Your work directly impacts our ability to energize compute from sustainable, renewable and/or stranded energy sources.
We are seeking an experienced people leader with a proven background in electrical equipment or comparable ETO manufacturing, a strategic mindset, and the operational discipline to scale through rapid growth. This is a full-time position. (#INDMFG)
What You’ll Be Working On:
Power Distribution Portfolio Ownership: Own the consolidated schedule across LV switchboard, MV switchgear, MV PDC, and skid integration programs.
Team Leadership and Mentorship: Lead and develop a team of project managers, setting the standard for schedule discipline, submittal management, change capture, cost accuracy, and customer communication.
Customer and Stakeholder Management: Serve as senior escalation for Power Distribution customers, including executive-level schedule impact, change negotiation, and recovery planning.
Capacity and Production Planning: Partner with plant leadership on capacity and line loading across switchboard and switchgear assembly areas; drive resolution of throughput constraints.
Program Economics and Target Accountability: Set the margin and cost targets for each Power Distribution program at baseline, and own delivery against them through close-out. Partner with Project Controls in a standing monthly economics review where you jointly validate the cost-to-complete position — Project Controls owns the model, you own the operational assumptions inside it: labor hours remaining, change order capture, submittal and schedule position, and long-lead material exposure. Sign the forecast you submit. When a program drifts off target, bring the variance, the root cause, and a recovery plan to the same review rather than waiting for it to surface in the roll-up.
Submittal Performance Governance: Govern submittal and drawing approval performance sector-wide. This is the dominant schedule risk in electrical equipment and must be managed as a tracked metric, not an anecdote.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Supply Chain leadership on long-lead component strategy for breakers, bus, transformers, and MV components across the full order book. Support Sales and Estimating on pursuit strategy, lead time commitments, and manufacturability review before award.
