at Constellation

🏢 About Constellation

Constellation is a major energy company operating across the United States, providing clean, reliable power solutions. The company stands out for its commitment to sustainability and innovation in the energy sector, making it an attractive workplace for professionals seeking to impact critical infrastructure. Working at Constellation offers the opportunity to contribute to essential services that power communities nationwide.

About This Role

As Director of Site Services, you'll lead the strategic integration of IT, security, facilities, and catering operations across Constellation's sites. This role is impactful because you'll break down silos between traditionally separate functions, directly influencing operational reliability, safety, and employee experience. You'll own enterprise-wide risk management and measurable outcomes that affect thousands of employees and critical energy infrastructure.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves morning briefings with your four direct reports across Site Operations, IT, Security & Safety, and Catering to review system performance and incident responses. You might spend midday in strategic planning sessions, allocating resources across domains or developing risk management frameworks that bridge cybersecurity and physical security concerns. The afternoon could involve reviewing budget performance metrics, coaching emerging leaders on your team, and coordinating with other departments to ensure integrated service delivery across Constellation's sites.

🎯 Who Constellation Is Looking For

  • Demonstrates strategic planning experience with multi-year roadmaps and managing budgets exceeding $1M for integrated service operations
