Program Manager Jobs at Quanta Infrastructure Solutions Group with Visa Sponsorship

About us:

QISG leverages Quanta’s comprehensive resources to deliver collaborative solutions for our partners' energy infrastructure needs. We use in-house talent, expertise and resources to plan, design, engineer, manage, conduct maintenance on and construct projects.

Our turnkey service capabilities provide our customers with efficiency, consistency, attention to detail and safe execution. The QISG team brings together Engineering, Safety, Quality, Material Procurement, QA/QC, Right-of-Way Acquisition, Scheduling, Environmental Planning, Permitting, Title and Land Management expertise that ensure outstanding results for our clients.

ABOUT THIS ROLE:

The Land Rights Project Manager (Land PM) is a project-level execution role within Quanta Infrastructure Services Group (QISG), sitting within the Land & Environment PMO (PMO) and reporting directly to the Manager, Land Rights Acquisition. The Land PM is the face of QISG's land rights program on their assigned projects — carrying direct accountability for project outcomes, client satisfaction, and the day-to-day execution of land rights acquisition activities. This individual serves as the primary interface between field personnel, clients, subcontractors, Quanta operating companies (OpUs), and teaming partners at the project level, and is expected to build genuine, trust-based relationships with client counterparts that reflect the quality and reliability QISG is committed to delivering.

Depending on project size and complexity, the Land PM may manage a single large-scale initiative or a portfolio of smaller projects simultaneously. In either case, the Land PM maintains active visibility into all project activities, tracks schedules items and budget related to land rights, and surfaces issues to the Manager quickly — before they become problems for the client or the project. The Land PM owns the contract relationship with the acquisition OpU or teaming partner on each assigned project, directing their work, holding them accountable to scope and schedule, and managing staff augmentation professionals where additional capacity is required. The Land PM's work spans the full project lifecycle — from Phase 1 front-end activities such as acquisition strategy development and early landowner engagement, through Phase 2 pre-construction access and easement execution, and Phase 4 post-construction closeout and final land rights resolution.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Project-Level Client & Stakeholder Interface — serve as the face of QISG land rights on assigned projects, building trust-based client relationships, maintaining proactive communication, and escalating issues to the Manager quickly before they affect the project or the client experience
• Land Rights Acquisition Oversight — own and manage the execution of land rights acquisition on assigned projects, directing OpUs and teaming partners through the full acquisition process from strategy development through final easement execution and closeout
• OpU, Agent & Teaming Partner Management — manage OpUs, acquisition agents, title firms, appraisers, and teaming partners performing land rights work on assigned projects, ensuring alignment with QISG standards, client requirements, and project schedules
• Schedule, Budget & Risk Management — maintain active visibility into project schedule and budget, track parcel-level acquisition progress, and proactively identify and escalate risks before they impact construction readiness
• Quality Assurance & Compliance — ensure all land rights deliverables on assigned projects meet QISG quality standards, client specifications, and applicable regulatory and legal requirements
• Reporting & Documentation — maintain accurate and complete project records, acquisition trackers, and parcel files, and deliver timely status reports to the Manager and client as required

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:

• Bachelor's degree in Real Estate, Business, Law, Urban Planning, Environmental Science, or a related field; equivalent professional experience considered
• 4–7 years of progressive experience in land rights acquisition, right-of-way, or real estate, with a preference for utility, transmission, or energy infrastructure project experience
• Working knowledge of land rights acquisition processes — including easements, ROW agreements, permits-to-enter, title research, and condemnation — sufficient to direct, review, and hold accountable the OpUs and teaming partners executing this work
• Working knowledge of title research, appraisal principles, and the basics of condemnation law and eminent domain proceedings; familiarity with environmental and permitting requirements as they relate to land rights and construction corridor access for linear infrastructure projects
• Strong organizational and project management skills; ability to manage parcel-level detail across multiple active projects simultaneously while meeting schedule and reporting requirements
• Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills; demonstrated ability to build and maintain client relationships, engage professionally with landowners and regulatory contacts, and deliver difficult news early and constructively
• Strong instincts for escalation — knows when to solve problems independently and when to bring the Manager in immediately; errs on the side of transparency
• Proficiency in GIS and Microsoft Office Suite
• Self-motivated and accountable, with a bias for action and the ability to drive execution in the field while managing competing priorities under schedule pressure

Percent of Time: 30%–50% (project field travel required to support landowner meetings, site visits, agent coordination, and client engagement)
