This position is ideal for an engineering professional with hands-on technical experience in complex industrial energy projects, particularly natural gas infrastructure, green and blue hydrogen, carbon capture and sequestration or utilization, industrial gases, low-carbon fuels, and related decarbonization pathways. The ideal candidate should be passionate about industrial decarbonization and have technoeconomic and commercial sense, polished external communication skills, project management skills, and thrive in fast-moving, uncertain environments common in project development.

You will work in a hybrid capacity from our Houston, TX office and report to the Vice President, Development.

Primary Responsibilities

- Lead day-to-day technical activities in support of our green hydrogen, blue hydrogen, e-Fuel, and other low-carbon industrial projects, from initial concept definition through Final Investment Decision (FID).
- Serve as the development group’s primary interface with internal and external technology, engineering, construction, and project execution groups.
- Prepare key project deliverables such as plot plans, execution schedules, capital and operating cost estimates, plant performance and utility consumption estimates, carbon intensity / GREET modeling, inputs into financial technoeconomic models and decisionmaking, etc.
- Lead preparation of technical aspects of external documents such as grid interconnection applications, air emissions permit applications, water source requests, natural gas supply requests, etc.
- Support customer and commercial counterparty engagement activities, including development of proposals, project concepts, commercial discussion materials, and due diligence packages.
- Manage external technical resources such as engineering firms.
- Along with our internal engineering and execution teams, develop project-specific execution plans including technology selection, FEED, pre-FID equipment procurement, and EPC contractor / construction plans.
- Monitor technology and technical market developments that impact our project developments.
- Work with our project developers to conduct project due diligence, including evaluation of sites, infrastructure availability, permitting pathways, natural gas and CO2 infrastructure, market conditions, and potential project partners.
- Support project financing and lender diligence activities by coordinating project information requests and technical documentation.

## Qualifications

- 10+ years of engineering and project development experience within the energy, natural gas, industrial, infrastructure, hydrogen, carbon capture, renewable fuels, or clean technology sectors.
- Experience in design and development of natural gas, blue hydrogen, carbon capture and sequestration, industrial gases, energy infrastructure, renewable fuels, or other low-carbon industrial projects through key project milestones.
- Demonstrated understanding of project development processes, including permitting, site selection, utility coordination, natural gas supply or infrastructure diligence, CO2 transportation and sequestration considerations, commercial contracting, and stakeholder management.
- Familiarity with carbon intensity, emissions accounting, carbon capture performance, CO2 storage or offtake pathways, and related regulatory or incentive frameworks is strongly preferred.
- Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams and competing priorities.
- Experience working across multidisciplinary teams including engineering, environmental, commercial, legal, finance, policy, supply chain, and operations functions.
