The environment is fast-moving, operationally demanding, and highly collaborative.

• Collaborate with internal operations, fabrication, field, and leadership teams to ensure alignment
• Build and maintain strong customer relationships throughout the project lifecycle
• Monitor progress against quality, safety, production, and financial objectives
• Help establish standardized project management processes, reporting structures, and operational consistency across projects
• Mentor and support Project Managers within the organization
• Drive accountability, communication, and execution across multiple concurrent projects
What We’re Looking For

• Strong financial, operational, scheduling, and forecasting capabilities
