Job Description:

Idaho Power — located in vibrant Boise, Idaho — is looking for an IT Project Manager or Senior to join our Information Technology team. It’s an exciting time to work for Idaho Power. Our work plays a critical role in communities we serve across Idaho and Oregon, and we’re working hard to safely provide our customers with the reliable, affordable, clean energy they depend on. While this position is based at Idaho Power’s downtown Boise location, we offer both flexible schedules and the opportunity to work up to 40% remote.

 

What does a IT Project Manager do for us?

Working independently, the IT Project Manager is responsible for managing schedules for medium to large, high-risk, multifaceted technology projects and resources, providing support, and coaching to other staff members, contributing directly to the maturity of the IT Portfolio Project Management Office (PPMO). The IT Project Manager will utilize IT PPMO standards to guide projects from initiation through completion. They will leverage techniques from both predictive and adaptive project approaches to deliver value while remaining on-time and within budget. The technology schedules typically managed by IT Project Managers can range from 6-24 months duration and may have budgets exceeding $1 million. The projects may include, but are not limited to software upgrades, hardware upgrades, software development, and off-the-shelf solution implementations. This position resides within the Information Technology (IT) PPMO organization.

 

In addition to the meaningful work we do, we offer work-life balance, competitive pay and benefits, an employee incentive plan, and both a 401k employer-match and a pension plan, making Idaho Power one of the best employers in the state.
