As a Project Manager – Pipeline & Facilities, you'll lead multidisciplinary teams and coordinate engineering, contractors, vendors and operational stakeholders to successfully deliver capital projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Monitor project costs, forecasts and overall financial performance
• Track schedules and identify potential delays, adverse trends and required recovery actions
• Develop and maintain project execution plans and reporting
• Prepare scopes of work and bid packages for contractors and vendors
• Participate in contractor and supplier evaluation and selection
• Manage contractors and vendors throughout project execution
• Administer and manage project contracts, including changes to scope
• Review project controls information and implement corrective action where necessary

• Ensure project requirements relating to safety, quality and regulatory compliance are achieved
• Communicate project status, risks and decisions clearly to stakeholders
• Build effective working relationships across engineering, operations, construction and commercial teams
• Provide leadership and accountability across internal and external project resources

What we're looking for

• Strong project management experience within pipeline, midstream, energy or similar industrial infrastructure

• Experience within at least one of the following: natural gas, crude oil or NGL
• Demonstrated responsibility for project budgets and schedules
• Experience managing contractors, vendors and external engineering providers
• Strong contract management capabilities
• Experience with pipeline and facility infrastructure
• Exposure to compressor stations, pump stations, terminals, process plants or comparable facilities
• Strong understanding of engineering, procurement and construction project delivery
• Knowledge of project controls, cost forecasting and scheduling
• Experience managing project scope changes and associated commercial impacts
• Ability to identify project risks and implement appropriate mitigation or recovery plans
• Strong stakeholder and customer-facing communication skills
• Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and coordinate competing priorities
• Strong commercial awareness and understanding of capital project economics

The scale of projects you've personally delivered is important. Candidates should be prepared to discuss examples covering:

• Total Installed Cost (TIC)
• Your personal level of project ownership
• Project size and technical complexity
• Engineering and design responsibilities
• Procurement and contracting strategy
