Roles & Responsibilities
Collaborate closely with Project Managers, Project Controls, Project Schedulers, Construction Managers, Regional Engineers, Regional Pipeline Maintenance teams, Supply Chain, and Investment Owners (Sponsors) to drive execution readiness, alignment, and follow through across the portfolio.
Own execution readiness across a large, multi year portfolio of pipeline and facilities projects, ensuring work is mature, coordinated, and ready to execute when windows open.
Identify program level risks and opportunities and actively drive optimization actions that improve schedule certainty, resource capacity, and business investment value.
Identify opportunities to increase in year capital execution by advancing in scope work, accelerating ISDs, and unlocking execution readiness ahead of plan.
Proactively identify and enable new, high value work that can be executed in conjunction with currently sanctioned scopes, improving capital efficiency, execution productivity, and business value.
Evaluate capital vs. schedule trade offs, including early engineering, long lead materials, contractor capacity, procurement strategies, and enabling works.
Work with Supply Chain to align procurement strategies, vendor capacity, and material delivery timelines with execution and advancement opportunities.
Engage Investment Owners / Sponsors to align scope, timing, funding, and value realization decisions in support of optimized and accelerated execution.
Maintain the department level Golden Project List, ensuring priorities reflect execution readiness, advancement opportunities, supply chain realities, and sponsor objectives.
Manage planning and progress data across 200+ projects, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and usability across regions.
Develop and maintain spatial plot plans in GIS to manage congestion, sequencing, and resource constraints.
Act as a central integration point between Engineering, Construction, Operations, Project Controls, Supply Chain, and Sponsors, bridging gaps between planning and field execution.
Apply negotiation and relationship building skills to resolve constraints and ensure commitments translate into action, execution, and in service results.
Travel up to 15% to engage field teams, facilities, suppliers, and regional offices across the pipeline system.
What Success Looks Like
In year capital execution is increased through ISD advancement and scope pull forward, not deferred.
High value tuck in and complementary scopes (including across disciplines of electrical, civil and mechanical) are identified early, bundled as appropriate, and executed efficiently alongside sanctioned work.
Materials, funding, and execution windows are aligned and not reactive.
Risks are surfaced early and resolved collaboratively.
Commitments made in planning and sponsor forums are carried through to the field and into service.
