Job description

Please Note: **No Third-Party or C2C Firms**

*Must be able to work in the United States without sponsorship*

We are looking for a GAS Project Manager on behalf of our client. This is a 1-year contract assignment. (W-2) The client is advancing a significant gas generation portfolio. You will be supporting E&C's engagement across gas project development activities at their Federal Hub efforts — from early-stage technical assessments through construction readiness and project execution. Immediately focus will be on project reporting, development and implementation.

This is a hands‑on, high-impact role operating at the intersection of Engineering, Construction, and Integrated Supply Chain. The ideal candidate brings disciplined project experience, a strong sense of ownership over cost and schedule risk, and the ability to drive cross‑functional alignment in a fast‑moving, origination‑driven environment.

Location: Remote position

1-year contract assignment. (W-2)

What You'll Do

Project Development Support

• Support E&C participation in Technology Review, Preliminary Engineering phases, and contracting for active hub gas development projects
• Coordinate E&C SME inputs for site configuration reviews, constructability assessments, and balance‑of‑plant evaluations including gas and electrical interconnection and switchyard scopes
• Track development and regulatory milestones, ensuring construction‑phase dependencies are identified and flagged early
• Maintain project schedules, cost benchmarks, and cashflow models in support of project sanction decisions
• Own and maintain the E&C risk register for hub projects, tracking scope, schedule, cost, and constructability risks across active work streams
• Identify and escape when Development‑driven scope changes introduce E&C cost or schedule risk
• Support risk‑adjusted cost positioning and contingency analysis for leadership reporting
• Manage monthly and quarterly progress reporting to the Owner, including schedule status, cost performance, risk exposure, and milestone tracking — ensuring reporting is accurate, timely, and decision‑ready
• Develop and maintain one‑page project dashboards and supporting materials for presentations, covering scope, budget, equipment status, interconnection, permitting, and decisions needed
• Prepare and maintain project status packages suitable for executive‑level review, ensuring leadership has clear visibility into emerging risks, mitigation actions, and residual exposure

Procurement & Integrated Supply Chain Coordination

• Coordinate with Integrated Supply Chain on RFQ inputs, technical scope review, and bid evaluation for major equipment and EPC/EPCM scopes
• Support cost comparison analysis between E&C estimates and contractor proposals, flagging material variances as scope alignment risks
• Track long‑lead equipment status (combustion turbines, HRSGs, transformers, switchgear) and flag supply chain constraints in a capacity‑constrained OEM market

What You'll Need

• Required: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
• 5–10 years of experience in energy project development or large capital construction
• Demonstrated experience in project controls and schedule development for gas generation or major capital projects
• Proven ability to manage Owner‑level reporting obligations, including monthly and quarterly progress reports with schedule, cost, and risk content
• Familiarity with EPC/EPCM project delivery models and contractor bid evaluation
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent work streams under competing priorities

Preferred:

• Experience with combined cycle or simple cycle gas development projects
• Familiarity with interconnection processes and associated E&C scope implications
• Experience coordinating long‑lead equipment procurement in constrained OEM markets
• Exposure to balance‑of‑plant scopes including switchyard, transmission, and civil/site infrastructure

We are committed to transparency and equity in all of our people practices. The base salary range for this position, which is dependent upon experience, qualifications and skills, is estimated to be $53.00/hr. to $88.00/hr.
