Job Overview
The Program Manager IV – Portfolio Execution & Integration is responsible for ensuring the successful and coordinated execution of a large, complex portfolio of projects. This role focuses on integrating project-level activities into a cohesive, portfolio-wide execution plan by identifying, managing, and resolving interdependencies across projects, contractors, procurement, and operational constraints.
This is a highly proactive and collaborative role that goes beyond traditional scheduling. It requires strong leadership, sound judgment, and the ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.

The position works closely with project, operations, engineering, supply chain, construction, and contractor teams to ensure alignment and successful delivery.

- Develop and manage a program-level execution framework that aligns with project schedules and portfolio reporting
- Translate project-level milestones into a consolidated, constraint-driven execution plan
- Identify, assess, and communicate the impacts of delays, schedule slippage, and sequencing conflicts across the portfolio
- Lead cross-functional discussions to resolve conflicts related to contractor capacity, outage timing, and competing priorities
- Proactively challenge assumptions and escalate risks where execution plans are misaligned or not achievable
- Provide clear and concise updates on program status, risks, opportunities, impacts, and required decisions to stakeholders
- Collaborate with project managers, schedulers, and functional teams to ensure alignment between execution plans and operational realities
- Monitor portfolio performance and recommend adjustments to improve execution efficiency and outcomes
- Support continuous improvement of portfolio execution practices, tools, and processes
Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in project execution, project controls, scheduling, or program management within energy, infrastructure, or industrial environments
- Strong understanding of the full project lifecycle, including engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning
- Experience managing or supporting large portfolios with multiple stakeholders and contractors
- Proven ability to identify, assess, and manage cross-project dependencies and execution risks
- Proficiency with project scheduling and reporting tools such as Primavera P6, Power BI, and project controls systems (e.g., EcoSys, Oracle) is an asset
- Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience
