Voyatek is seeking applicants to occupy the position of IT Project Manager within our team.

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is the largest state public power organization in the United States, renowned for its role in providing clean, affordable, and reliable energy.  NYPA’s mission is to power New York with clean energy while driving economic growth and sustainability. It focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, modernizing the state's energy infrastructure, and promoting energy efficiency and innovation across sectors.

New York Power Authority’s (“NYPA”) current on-premise Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system, SAP ECC 6.0, is almost 20 years old and is approaching technological obsolescence. Systems Application and Products (“SAP”) has already released its statement of intent to end new development on that platform and is planning on removing it from standard support on December 31, 2027. Project Luminate is a program to replace NYPA’s current on-premise ERP system with a cloud-based system to ensure an adaptable environment able to meet NYPA’s needs. In 2023, NYPA awarded a contract to Gartner Inc. to perform a detailed readiness assessment to define key requirements that the new system has to meet and to identify current business process improvements that are critical to be addressed as a precursor to the transition to a cloud-based platform.
