Job Description

We are seeking a highly experienced and strategic Project Director to lead site operations and interface management for a major hydropower project. This is a senior-level role that blends site leadership with project performance oversight, client engagement, and back-office coordination.

Unlike traditional North American models, this role follows a more European-style structure—bridging the gap between site execution and executive-level reporting. You will be responsible for managing the full scope of site activities while also serving as a key liaison with clients, procurement, and internal leadership.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to [email protected] learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy: https://insightglobal.com/workforce-privacy-policy/.
