The Technical Project Manager (TPM) 2 manages and ensures timely completion of discrete technical and/or operational projects. Adheres to technical requirements for the project; defines and manages project deliverables, budgets, schedules, and risks; and oversees the project team in the planning, tracking, and execution of scope from initiation to completion where all scope is being executed in a DOE Hazard Category 2 and Security Classification 1 facility.

Projects are a set of related activities needed to produce specific products or services and meet customers' requirements. Projects develop work packages that define what will be accomplished to meet specific programmatic needs and produce the work products defined by the work packages. The TPM 2 assumes responsibility for day-to-day administrative/operational management of activities and functions in a designated program area within a line or staff department, including contributing to the development, implementation and evaluation of program policies, procedures and standards; determining program service levels and enhancements; assists with the development of and monitoring program budgets; providing technical advice to staff, other departments, and performs related work as required.

Prior DOE experience supporting construction or D&D projects along with prior experience and qualifications/certifications under Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) such as Humphrey's and Associates and Control Account Manager (or equal) is required. Due to nuclear setting of all scope being managed by TPM 2, prefer prior experience in work control setting along with hazards and controls management, radiological and operational experience where alignment with quality control, assurance and managing complex issues under NQA-1 is needed.

Experience and Education: requires a bachelor's degree plus minimum ten years of related DOE and/or nuclear experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
