THE ROLEYou will own a natural gas generation project on Project Matador from FEED through final investment decision (FID), construction, commissioning, commercial operation, and turnover to Operations. Scope may include simple cycle and combined cycle blocks, heat recovery steam generators, cooling systems, fuel gas conditioning, balance of plant, and the interconnection to the campus high voltage system.
This is a single point of accountability role on the owner side of the table. You carry the safety, cost, schedule, quality, and contractual outcome. You direct the EPC contractors executing the work. You make the decisions rather than recommending them to someone else.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN- Front end development: option screening, basis of design, FEED contractor management, and the estimate and sanction package supporting FID.
- Contracting strategy, bid evaluation, and administration of EPC and equipment supply agreements as the owner representative.
- Change order negotiation and defense of the company position against unsupported cost and time claims.
- The cost forecast, the Primavera P6 schedule, contingency, and decision grade reporting to executive leadership.
- Owner review of design, resolution of technical issues, and compliance with applicable codes and air permit conditions.
- Construction oversight, systems completion and turnover, and commissioning through first fire, synchronization, and performance testing.
- The safety standard on your scope, enforced without exception.

WHAT YOU BRING- 15 plus years in natural gas power generation project delivery, spanning front end development, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
- At least 5 years in a management or leadership role with direct accountability for project outcome and team performance.
- At least one natural gas fired generation project of 300 MW or greater carried from contract award through commercial operation.
- Front end development experience, including FEED contractor management, basis of design development, and a Class 3 estimate supporting FID.
- Command of EPC contract structures, project controls, and the codes, permits, and performance testing protocols governing thermal generation assets.
- Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or Chemical Engineering, or in Construction Management.
PREFERRED- Direct experience with Siemens Energy, GE Vernova, or Mitsubishi Power industrial frame and aeroderivative fleets.
