• Navigate complex regulatory and industry challenges, aligning design solutions with evolving natural gas industry standards, PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and state regulatory requirements
• Ensure engineering excellence by reviewing design documents for safety, reliability, constructability, and cost effectiveness
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Planning, Operations, Engineering, and Construction partners to align priorities and system needs
• Champion compliance and documentation quality, ensuring records are complete, verifiable, traceable, and audit-ready
• Guide the maintenance and further development of the Gas Design & Engineering Manual
• Coach and develop your team, supporting career growth, engagement, and long-term success

Who You Are:

We’re seeking a leader who combines technical depth with people leadership:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Master’s degree and/or Professional Engineer license strongly valued)
• Progressive experience in natural gas distribution design and pipeline safety compliance
• Proven experience leading, coaching, and developing engineering teams
• Strong understanding of regulatory environments and utility infrastructure challenges
