    Description

    Business Development Representative
    Downtown, Houston, Texas
    Join a dynamic U.S. Natural Gas Business Development team focused on originating and advancing major capital projects—from pipeline expansions to greenfield infrastructure developments. In this role, you’ll operate at the center of strategic growth, leading initiatives that directly impact energy markets across the country.

    You’ll work closely with senior leadership, lead high-stakes negotiations, and drive projects from concept through execution—playing a key role in shaping the organization’s long-term investment portfolio.
    What You’ll Do
    • Drive origination and development of large-scale natural gas infrastructure projects
    • Identify new market opportunities and lead commercial negotiations with customers and partners
    • Structure and execute complex commercial agreements
    • Lead cross-functional teams across engineering, regulatory, environmental, legal, and commercial functions
    • Develop project scopes, assess risk, and build cost estimates
    • Present investment opportunities through internal capital allocation processes
    • Build and maintain strong relationships with customers and key industry stakeholders
    • Influence strategic decisions through market insight and commercial expertise
    What You Bring
    • Strong background in energy business development, ideally within midstream
    • Deep understanding of natural gas markets, including commercial, regulatory, and technical dynamics
    • Proven ability to lead complex projects and influence outcomes across cross-functional teams
    • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
    • Ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
    • High level of ownership, accountability, and strategic thinking
    • Experience managing multiple large-scale initiatives simultaneously
    Why This Role Stands Out
    • Direct visibility to executive leadership and meaningful influence on major capital investments
    • Opportunity to lead transformative infrastructure projects shaping North America’s energy future
    • Collaborative, high-performance culture built on accountability, teamwork, and continuous learning
    • Flexible hybrid work model designed to support both productivity and work-life balance
    • Exposure to a diverse portfolio of projects spanning domestic markets and international energy corridors

    This is more than a business development role—it’s a chance to play a pivotal part in building the infrastructure that powers economies, supports energy security, and advances the future of cleaner energy.

    Based on our repeat business rate (more than 70 percent of our assignments come from existing clients), we have proven that we are a trustworthy partner. Our recruiters all specialize in a particular industry. Because they do, they know exactly where to start looking for qualified candidates. They also understand special terminology, grasp job requirements quickly, and can better evaluate candidates. Finally, they know what the salary structures are and can help you formulate competitive offers.

    We dedicate our work to the development and success of the recruiters we hire, the clients we represent, and the candidates we serve. Richard, Wayne and Roberts' goal is to leave a legacy of lives more fulfilled by our commitment to each of our candidates' and clients' unique talents and needs.

    We recruit on a local, national, and international basis as required for each client engagement.

    We are client-focused, keeping you our top priority throughout the placement process.
