PSE&G, Northeast Grid Reliability Project 2014

The Northeast Grid Reliability Project will upgrade 138kV to 230kV on existing overhead transmission lines and will add a 230kV underground transmission circuit throughout Northern New Jersey. The upgrade will deliver increased electric capacity required by New Jersey business and residents, increase transfer capability, provide better power quality, and reduce transmission system congestion.

As the Senior Contracts Manager for PSE&G's Northeast Grid Reliability Project in Northern New Jersey, I was recruited to help coach, mentor and train my four direct reports (each contract managers with little or no experience in commercial or construction contracting) on commercial contracting, construction contracting, and the negotiation of commercial terms and conditions, as well as improving the coordination of contract negotiations with PSE&G’s outside legal counsel. Their working relationships with internal stakeholders and the outside legal counsel were poor and crucial negotiation deadlines and program milestones for contract execution were not being met.

At the end of my assignment:

o We met 100% of all contract negotiation and contract execution milestones for that month

o A new sense of urgency and efficiency in responding to stakeholder needs was now in place

o My direct reports had received intensive training on time management, commercial contracting, construction contracting, and the negotiation of contract terms and conditions

o The working relationship with PSE&G’s outside legal counsel was improved and the amount of contract language re-writes was down by 60%.
