Senior Engineer, Production

Venture Global LNG (“Venture Global”) is a long-term, low-cost provider of American-produced liquefied natural gas. The company’s two Louisiana-based export projects service the global demand for North American natural gas and support the long-term development of clean and reliable North American energy supplies. Using reliable, proven technology in an innovative plant design configuration, Venture Global’s modular, mid-scale plant design will replace traditional designs as it allows for the same efficiency and operational reliability at significantly lower capital cost.

We are seeking a Senior Production Engineer to join our team in our Arlington, VA office.

The Senior Production Engineer will report to the Principal Production Engineer and will be supporting Production engineering, Process engineering and Operations across all our facilities.

This role will be part of the Production engineering team responsible for ensuring the plant operations remain program compliant and that the production volumes are delivered in a safe and reliable manner. This is a fast-paced environment requiring drive, enthusiasm, willingness to learn and grow rapidly.

This position focuses on process modeling and simulation to understand plant performance, optimize production, and support day-to-day application of plant models. The successful candidate will work alongside experienced engineers and cross functional teams contributing to real-time operational decisions and support long-term/high impact decision making.

Responsibilities:

Candidate will develop a deep understanding of the Venture Global LNG process and responsibilities include, but not limited to:

• Formulates solutions to create technology systems to sustain model recommendations to improve performance. This includes automation of models – engineering, AI and hybrid – as part of real-time systems
• Engaging with stakeholders (engineering, IT, operations) and building positive relationships
• Analyze plant data and model outputs to identify optimization opportunities and troubleshoot operational issues
• Assist in evaluating the impact of process changes, debottlenecking studies and efficiency improvements
• Innovating and driving continuous improvement
• Travel to all our Louisiana LNG Facilities as needed

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering. Higher degrees (Masters or PhD) preferred.
