The Project Manager is responsible for delivering a portfolio of capital projects across gas processing facilities, compression, terminals, pump stations, meter stations, and associated infrastructure. Working closely with Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, and Construction teams, this individual will lead projects through execution, commissioning, and turnover while ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of project objectives.
This role is ideal for someone with a background in Operations Engineering, Facilities Engineering, or Project Engineering who has developed strong capital project execution experience within a gas processing, midstream, or industrial facilities environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage multiple capital projects simultaneously across various stages of execution.
- Develop project scope, budgets, schedules, and execution strategies.
- Lead project execution from concept through construction, commissioning, and turnover.
- Coordinate Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, Integrity, Procurement, and Construction stakeholders.
- Manage contractors, consultants, and construction resources to ensure safe and effective project delivery.
- Monitor project cost, schedule, scope, risks, and overall performance.
- Facilitate design reviews and ensure projects meet operational, safety, and business requirements.
- Ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, industry standards, and company specifications.
- Support construction readiness, operational tie-ins, commissioning activities, and safe handover to Operations.
- Build strong working relationships with site operations teams and field personnel.
- Provide visible safety leadership throughout project execution.
Qualifications & Experience
- 10-15 years of experience in gas processing, midstream, facilities, or industrial operations.
- Background in Operations Engineering, Facilities Engineering, Project Engineering, or Project Management.
- Experience delivering capital projects within operating facilities.
- Demonstrated success managing projects typically ranging from $1MM-$8MM.
- Strong understanding of gas processing facilities, compression, pump stations, meter stations, terminals, and related infrastructure.
- Experience managing multiple projects concurrently.
- Strong communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills.
- Experience working closely with Operations and Maintenance teams.
- Knowledge of CSA Z662 and related industry standards is considered an asset.
Typical Projects
- Gas plant modifications and facility upgrades
- Compression station improvements
- Pump station upgrades and equipment replacements
- Meter station installations and modifications
- Terminal facility projects
- Facility tie-ins supporting pipeline systems
- Reliability, integrity, and operational improvement projects
- Brownfield capital projects within operating facilities
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate comes from an Operations Engineering, Facilities Engineering, or Project Engineering background and has progressed into project execution. They understand how operating facilities function, can manage multiple projects simultaneously, and are comfortable partnering closely with Operations to deliver practical solutions. While pipeline exposure is beneficial, the majority of the work is focused on facility-based capital projects supporting gas processing and midstream operations.
