As the Director Human Resources Business Partner for Nevada Projects, you will be a core member of the project leadership team. You will design and execute the human capital strategy required to take this project from initial investment through to commissioning and handover. This is a high-visibility role where your ability to scale teams, manage complex labor dynamics, and maintain a high-performance culture under pressure will directly impact the project’s outcomes for AGA.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Workforce Planning: Architect the multi-year headcount strategy, ensuring the right technical expertise is in place for every phase of the project lifecycle (FEED, Execution, and Operations).
• Executive Advisory: Act as a trusted coach and advisor to the Project leadership and senior leadership, providing data-driven insights on organizational health and risk.
• Talent Acquisition & Mobility: Partner with recruitment to source specialized technical talent and manage the complex logistics of international or domestic mobilizations and relocations.
• Organizational Design: Build a scalable org structure that accounts for the planned "ramp up" and "ramp down" periods, ensuring smooth transitions and knowledge transfer.
