Gas Project Development, Technical Oversight & Risk Identification:

• Lead E&C participation in Technology Review, capital estimate and project schedule development, and Preliminary Engineering phases across active gas development projects
• Maintain a Risk Register, tracking scope, schedule, cost, and constructability risks
• Proactively identify when Development-driven scope changes introduce E&C cost or schedule risk
• Coordinate E&C SME resources in support of gas project site configuration reviews and risk assessments
• Lead E&C's participation in commercial offtake agreement negotiation, site permitting, and interconnection processes

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Management, or related field
