About the Role
Pond is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of engineering and consulting services for transmission pipeline projects, from early feasibility and routing through detailed engineering, procurement support, construction support, commissioning support, and project closeout. This is a high-visibility, client-facing leadership role supporting complex energy infrastructure projects.
You will serve as the primary point of accountability for the successful execution of Pond's contracted scope, including safety, schedule, budget, quality, and client satisfaction. This includes coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams, Project Controls, external consultants, and other project stakeholders across project types including natural gas, crude oil, refined products, CO2, and hydrogen transmission systems.
Project Leadership & Delivery
Lead the execution of Pond's engineering and consulting scope across project phases, including feasibility, routing, permitting, FEED, detailed engineering, procurement support, construction support, commissioning support, and closeout.
Develop and drive project execution strategies and staffing plans, working collaboratively with Project Controls and Engineering to establish and maintain project schedules, budgets, and resource plans.
Integrate and coordinate multidisciplinary teams spanning civil, mechanical, pipeline, electrical, I&C, environmental, and structural disciplines.
Serve as the primary client interface, building trust through consistent communication, proactive issue resolution, and demonstrated results.
Enforce project governance, quality management systems, and scope/change control discipline throughout the project lifecycle.
Engineering & Technical Coordination
Oversee development and review of pipeline routing and alignment studies, hydraulic modeling, material specifications, stress analysis, station facility designs, and IFC drawing packages.
Coordinate technical reviews, constructability assessments, HAZOPs, and interdisciplinary design reviews.
Coordinate with engineering discipline leads to address technical requirements and design decisions related to HDD and crossings, geohazard mitigation, corrosion control and CP systems, SCADA and leak detection, and integrity management.
Environmental & Regulatory Management
Coordinate environmental studies, permitting, and regulatory approvals across PHMSA, FERC, ASME B31.4/B31.8, API standards, and federal, state, and local requirements.
Coordinate engineering support for agency interactions, stakeholder engagement, landowner coordination, and environmental mitigation planning, as required by the project scope.
