Summary

Construction Finance is the finance function for the company’s LNG capital projects. We fund them, account for them, forecast them, and provide independent financial challenge on cost and schedule outcomes.

This role builds and owns operating models for our project entities. These models connect construction execution, funding, and commercial operations to entity‑level financial results, covenant compliance, and distributions. The role also helps raise the team’s modeling capability through shared standards, templates, and coaching.

The role reports to the VP, Construction Finance, and works closely with Treasury, FP&A, Project Controls, Accounting, and senior leadership. Candidates should expect periodic extended hours around reporting and executive deadlines.

This position is 100% office‑based in Arlington, VA. Occasional travel to construction sites and the Houston office is required.

• Identify emerging funding pressure early and quantify its implications.
• Provide model outputs and analysis for lender and Independent Engineer requests.

Forecasting & Risk

• Contribute to the project financial stress test: scenario inputs, model updates, and executive outputs.
• Translate cost and schedule developments into entity‑level financial impacts.

Modeling Standards & Team Capability

• Establish modeling standards (structure, documentation, version control, review) so that models withstand lender, auditor, and inner‑control scrutiny.

• Build reusable templates that scale across project entities.

• Coach analysts and associates through model review and hands‑on development.

FP&A Integration

• Integrate entity models into consolidated budgets and forecasts with FP&A.
• Present decision‑ready analysis to senior leadership, leading with conclusions and following with supporting analysis.

• 5+ years in project finance, infrastructure or energy finance, investment banking, private equity, FP&A, or a related field, with substantial hands‑on modeling experience.

• Demonstrated ability to build integrated three‑statement models from scratch, including cash waterfalls, reserve accounts, and covenant tests.

• Expert Excel modeler whose models are clean, auditable, and usable by others.

• Solid command of GAAP and financial statement mechanics, sufficient to reconcile model outputs to reported results.

• Ability to explain model‑driven conclusions clearly to executives.

• Self‑directed in ambiguous environments; raises issues with proposed solutions in hand.
