Site Planner

Location: Wenatchee, WA
Project: Rock Island Dam
Contract Length: 2+ yeas (10-year project)

This person does not need hydro power experience. We are looking for anyone with similar experience, which would be someone from power or O&G background. This person will be responsible for following the project schedule and pushing activities to ensure project stays on schedule. 

Needs to have some experience working with Primavera P6. They will likely have a light technical background. 

Preder someone in the area since this is a long-term project and they want to avoid having to continuously hire a new person every year or two. This will be the hardest aspect, I think. This is where we will also push the client depending on CV delivery.
