Are you in?
Primary Purpose The Principal Project Manager is a portfolio leadership role within BGE’s Project Initiation Team, accountable for leading the initiation of major capital projects and ensuring they are fully scoped, budgeted, de-risked, and ready for execution prior to Phase 1 authorization. This role owns the proposed project scope and budget during initiation and serves as the primary integrator across Transmission Planning, Regional Planning, Engineering, Project Controls, and Investment Strategy to align technical, financial, and governance requirements early in the project lifecycle. The Principal Project Manager leads cross-functional initiation activities, drives stakeholder engagement, and ensures readiness checkpoints are met to support effective governance decisions. By coordinating feasibility development, schedule and cost inputs, and risk identification, this role eliminates fragmentation in early-stage project development and provides consistent, high-quality initiation packages for Centrally Managed projects.

This position is also responsible for executing a structured and timely turnover of projects to Project Execution teams. The Principal Project Manager ensures execution teams are engaged early, receive complete and defensible initiation deliverables, and have clear visibility into scope, assumptions, risks, and constraints prior to handoff. The role does not perform engineering, construction, procurement, or commissioning activities; instead, it ensures projects enter execution with the clarity, alignment, and readiness required to improve delivery outcomes, portfolio predictability, and governance confidence.

Position may be required to work extended hours for coverage during storms or other energy delivery emergencies.
