About SPEC Services

SPEC Services is a 200+ person engineering services firm with more than 45 years supporting the energy sector. We are known for practical solutions, responsive service, and long-standing client relationships, with a culture focused on technical excellence and doing the work the right way in operating and brownfield environments.

As a Senior Project Manager, you will lead and deliver midstream engineering projects, including gas and liquids facilities, pipelines, and related infrastructure, such as brownfield modifications, terminal and storage facilities, compression systems, pipeline expansions and replacements, metering and regulating stations, custody transfer and measurement systems, and associated tie-ins and pipeline appurtenances. You will lead multidisciplinary teams, serve as the primary client point of contact, and drive project outcomes through disciplined execution, risk management, and clear communication.

This role is focused on delivery leadership and client trust, not sales or EPC-style project delivery.

• Autonomy & Ownership: Lead projects end-to-end with direct accountability and the latitude to make decisions that matter.
• Direct Client Impact: Build trust as the face of SPEC to operator clients, without layers of bureaucracy.
• Leadership Access: Work closely with senior leadership and contribute to the direction and culture of a growing Houston office.
• Project Variety: Engage with a range of challenging, meaningful midstream projects; no two are exactly alike.
• Visible Career Path: Grow your career in an organization that recognizes project ownership, practical results, and technical excellence.
• Stable & Trusted: Join a team with a strong reputation for reliability, technical quality, and client service.

• Lead multiple concurrent, multidisciplinary midstream engineering projects.
• Own scope, schedule, budget, quality, and delivery commitments from kickoff through completion.
• Develop project execution plans, staffing strategies, and delivery schedules aligned to project requirements.
• Coordinate across mechanical, civil, structural, electrical, process, and pipeline engineering to deliver integrated packages.
• Lead constructability planning in operating facilities, including tie-in, phasing, and work sequencing considerations.
• Manage execution risks, scope growth, and change requests.
• Oversee QA/QC implementation and technical consistency across deliverables and disciplines.
• Lead client working sessions, progress reviews, and technical discussions with a practical approach.
• Build long-term client relationships through reliable delivery.

• Mentor project managers and engineers on client engagement.
• Support staffing, workload balancing, and team development activities in coordination with discipline leadership.
• Reinforce SPEC’s delivery culture across projects with a focus on safety, quality, and accountability.

This position reports directly to SPEC’s Midstream Division Manager. You’ll be part of a high-caliber, highly trusted team that values ownership, execution, and meaningful influence. Our leaders are committed to supporting your growth and ensuring your contributions are recognized.

Based in the Greater Houston area, this hybrid role supports local clients and teams with a flexible 9/80 work schedule. SPEC operates with its corporate headquarters in Southern California, with Houston serving as a key hub for midstream project execution and client engagement. Expect a mix of office and remote work, with some travel (20-30%) to project sites, client meetings, and SPEC’s offices.

• Proven ability to earn client trust through competence and performance.
• Experience leading and delivering technical projects in the oil and gas or midstream sector.
• Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills.
• A practical, results-focused approach, with a strong personal drive to take…
