Job Title:

Project Manager - Natural Gas Compressor Station Construction

Job Description

This role leads onsite construction activities for large, multi‑discipline natural gas compressor station and heavy industrial power projects. The Project Manager oversees field engineers, coordinates with trades and subcontractors, and manages cost, schedule, and safety for complex industrial facilities involving civil, mechanical, electrical, and extensive piping work. The position is highly hands‑on, requires significant time at the project site, and plays a key role in delivering major compressor station and power plant projects for data center generation and industrial pipeline facilities.

Responsibilities

* Lead onsite project execution at natural gas compressor stations and heavy industrial facilities, ensuring work progresses safely, efficiently, and in line with project objectives.

* Direct and mentor field engineers, typically two or more, and take primary ownership of project cost and schedule performance.

* Maintain and promote a strong safety culture across all site activities, enforcing safety and compliance standards for utility lines, facility construction, and pipe integrity work.

* Assist in managing smaller projects as needed, providing support to senior project leadership while taking full ownership of assigned scopes.

* Review and understand contract terms, conditions, and scope to ensure all work aligns with contractual requirements and client expectations.

* Track materials, production, and project costs, compile data for review and approval, and provide accurate reporting to support budget and schedule control.

* Facilitate and coordinate subcontractor activities across electrical, mechanical, civil, process piping, and other disciplines to keep work aligned with the overall project plan.

* Maintain and update the project schedule, identifying risks, constraints, and mitigation strategies to keep the project on track.

* Perform basic estimating and quantity takeoffs, and solicit quotes from vendors and subcontractors to support proposals, change orders, and project planning.

* Provide onsite administrative support, including documentation, reporting, and communication with project stakeholders.

* Assist with quality assurance and quality control activities, including test protocols, inspections, and verification that work meets design specifications and standards.

* Oversee the full project lifecycle, from initial estimating and proposals through execution, commissioning, and final close‑out.

* Direct project activities to ensure goals and objectives are achieved within defined time frames and budget parameters.

* Develop and maintain strong client relationships, serving as a trusted partner while identifying potential new business opportunities in the market.

* Manage document control processes, including tracking and organizing drawings, specifications, contracts, RFIs, and other project documents from inception to completion.

* Lead drawing revision and redline management, ensuring that field changes are properly captured, communicated, and incorporated into the latest design documents.

* Oversee project scopes of $50M or more, actively monitoring cost, schedule, and risk for large, complex industrial construction projects.

* Manage and coordinate subcontractors in one or more key disciplines, with a strong emphasis on electrical and mechanical, and potentially civil and process piping.

* Read and interpret construction drawings and specifications, and use project management software to plan, track, and report project progress.

* Communicate clearly and frequently with field teams, project engineers, construction management, quality, and safety personnel to align daily and weekly work plans.

* Be present onsite at least half of each month, and preferably full‑time, to provide direct oversight and support for field activities.

* Remain open to working extended hours, including evenings and weekends as needed, to meet project milestones and resolve critical issues.

* Support expansion and upgrade projects at existing plants as well as greenfield generation plant construction for data centers.
