QMI & Metering Engineer

The QMI and Metering Engineering will provide discipline engineering expertise across fiscal, allocation and environmental metering and Quality Measurement Instruments (QMI). The role will initially support a major greenfield project, ensuring the contractor develops and delivers all necessary metering and QMI scope and documents to identify, specify, and manage measurements to the required performance levels through operations. The position transitions into ongoing operational stewardship as the project moves to start‑up and steady‑state.

Initially based in Houston, this role is expected to transition to the Louisiana LNG site over time to support operational activities.
