Organizational Change Management Consultant - Utility Industry

About the Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Organizational Change Management Consultant to support a late-stage technology deployment within a field operations environment.

This engagement is designed for a hands-on, execution-oriented change professional who can quickly drive stakeholder engagement, communications, readiness activities, training alignment, and adoption support. The project involves a machine learning-enabled operational tool designed to improve field inspection efficiency, enhance decision-making, reduce risk, and increase data visibility for employees and stakeholders supporting field-based operations.

This is a full-time contract opportunity expected to run from August 2026 through March 2027.

What You’ll Do

• Lead day-to-day change management execution for a late-stage technology deployment supporting field operations
• Develop and support stakeholder engagement plans to increase awareness, readiness, and adoption among impacted employees
• Create clear communications that help field teams, operational leaders, and business stakeholders understand what is changing, why it matters, and how it affects their work
• Partner with project teams, field operations leaders, business stakeholders, and end users to support adoption
• Assess change impacts and identify readiness needs across impacted employee groups, including field-facing teams
• Support training alignment by helping ensure materials, timing, and messaging match user needs in an operational environment
• Help prepare employees and stakeholders for new workflows, technology-enabled processes, field inspection changes, and greater data visibility
• Identify adoption risks, resistance points, communication gaps, and readiness barriers across field and operational teams
• Recommend practical actions to improve user understanding, acceptance, and sustained usage
• Coordinate with internal teams to support go-live preparation, post-deployment adoption, and ongoing reinforcement
• Track change activities, stakeholder feedback, readiness progress, and adoption-related next steps
• Provide hands-on support to help the organization sustain new ways of working across field operations

What We’re Looking For

• Strong Organizational Change Management experience, preferably supporting technology or operational transformation projects
• Experience supporting field operations, utility operations, inspection teams, asset management, or other field-based work environments strongly preferred
• Experience with stakeholder engagement, communications, readiness planning, training alignment, and adoption support
• Ability to operate in a late-stage deployment environment with limited time to influence adoption
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to translate complex technical or operational changes into clear, practical messaging for field teams, leaders, and impacted users
• Comfort working with cross-functional teams, project stakeholders, business leaders, field operations leaders, and end users
• Strong execution mindset with the ability to move quickly, organize work, and drive deliverables
• Ability to identify adoption risks and recommend practical mitigation steps
• Strong attention to detail, follow-through, and stakeholder management skills
• Experience supporting AI, machine learning, analytics, data visibility, or decision-support technology deployments is a plus

Contract Details

• Full-time contract role
• 40 hours per week
• Expected duration of approximately 36 weeks
• Anticipated timeline: August 2026 through March 2027
• Remote or hybrid arrangement may be considered based on project needs
• Focused role supporting stakeholder engagement, communications, readiness, training alignment, and adoption across field operations and operational stakeholder groups

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a strong opportunity for an OCM consultant who enjoys execution-focused change work tied to technology adoption and operational improvement. The role offers the chance to support a meaningful deployment that helps field and operational teams understand, embrace, and sustain new ways of working while improving inspection efficiency, risk reduction, data visibility, and decision-making.

Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.
