Gas Project Manager

Title: Project Manager - Gas Project Development Pay: $40.00 - $45.00/hr Location/Schedule: Remote, East Coast Hrs Duration: 12-Month Contract Seeking a Project Manager to support gas project development activities from early-stage technical assessments through construction readiness and project execution. The immediate focus will be developing and implementing project reporting. This hands-on role works across Engineering & Construction (E&C) and Integrated Supply Chain. The ideal candidate brings disciplined project management experience, ownership of cost and schedule risk, and the ability to drive cross-functional alignment in a fast-moving, origination-driven environment. Key Responsibilities Project Development Support Support E&C participation in technology reviews, preliminary engineering, and contracting for active gas development projects. Coordinate input from E&C subject matter experts on site configuration reviews, constructability assessments, and balance-of-plant evaluations, including gas and electrical interconnection and switchyard scopes. Track development and regulatory milestones, identifying and flagging construction-phase dependencies early. Project Controls & Risk Management Maintain project schedules, cost benchmarks, and cash flow models to support project sanction decisions. Own and maintain the E&C risk register, tracking scope, schedule, cost, and constructability risks across active workstreams. Identify and elevate development-driven scope changes that introduce E&C cost or schedule risks. Support risk-adjusted cost positioning and contingency analysis for leadership reporting. Manage monthly and quarterly progress reporting to the project owner, including schedule status, cost performance, risk exposure, and milestone tracking. Ensure reporting is accurate, timely, and ready to support decisions. Develop and maintain one-page project dashboards and presentation materials covering scope, budget, equipment status, interconnection, permitting, and required decisions. Prepare executive-level project status packages that clearly communicate emerging risks, mitigation actions, and residual exposure. Procurement & Supply Chain Coordination Coordinate with Integrated Supply Chain on request for quotation (RFQ) inputs, technical scope reviews, and bid evaluations for major equipment and Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) or Engineering, Procurement & Construction Management (EPCM) scopes. Compare E&C cost estimates with contractor proposals, flagging material variances as potential scope alignment risks. Track long-lead equipment, including combustion turbines, heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), transformers, and switchgear. Identify and flag supply chain constraints in a capacity-constrained original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field. 5-10 years of experience in energy project development or large capital construction. Demonstrated experience in project controls and schedule development for gas generation or major capital projects. Proven ability to manage owner-level reporting obligations, including monthly and quarterly progress reports covering schedule, cost, and risk. Familiarity with EPC/EPCM project delivery models and contractor bid evaluation. Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams with competing priorities. Preferred Qualifications Experience with combined-cycle or simple-cycle gas development projects. Familiarity with interconnection processes and associated E&C scope implications. Experience coordinating long-lead equipment procurement in constrained OEM markets. Exposure to balance-of-plant scopes, including switchyard, transmission, and civil/site infrastructure. #J-18808-Ljbffr Hydrogen Group
