- Technical Specification: Perform sizing and specification for meter runs, valves, filters and piping components.
- Procurement & Bidding: Manage the material procurement process and lead the bidding/selection of third-party construction contractors.
- Contract Management: Evaluate construction contracts and commercial agreements, ensuring scope clarity and risk mitigation.
- Reporting: Lead weekly progress meetings and generate routine status reports for both internal personnel and external customers.
Qualifications & Experience:
- Education: Minimum 4-year accredited degree in relevant discipline.
- Experience: 2–3 years of experience with preference in midstream or utility industry experience.
- Project Scope: Direct experience with meter stations, interconnects, and/or small-diameter pipelines is highly preferred.
- Client Facing: Ability to manage "customer-driven" projects where high levels of communication are required.
- Multi-Tasking: Proven ability to manage a portfolio of multiple smaller projects simultaneously at different stages of the lifecycle.
- Soft Skills: Self-motivated with a "boots-on-the-ground" mentality; comfortable working with both field technicians and executive leadership.
- Technical Tools: Proficiency in MS Office (Project/Excel). Experience with AutoCAD or hydraulic modeling (e.g., ProMax, Synergi) is a plus.
- Travel: Ability to travel approximately 25-50% to project sites for kick-offs, tie-ins, construction oversight, commissioning, etc.
Benefits: This position is located in Austin, Texas and is an in-office position. Selected candidate is eligible for employer matched 401(k), medical, dental, vision, basic life and AD&D insurances and other benefit offerings.
