Associate Engineer, Production

Venture Global LNG (“Venture Global”) is a 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. We are seeking an Associate Production Engineer to join our Integrated Production Excellence team. This position will be located in Cameron, LA with travel to various sites as needed.

The role will initially report to the SVP, Integrated Production Excellence and will be responsible for developing and progressing the Ready for Operations (RFO) schedule to transition the facility from EPC to the operations phase. Post‑transition the role will closely work with key interface stakeholders to ensure that the safe and sustainable realization of facility production targets and other critical KPIs are met.

• Support the development and maintenance of a facility production forecasting model and mass and energy balance models.
• Develop and maintain tools for production, environmental and compliance reporting, monitoring production performance summaries and KPIs for each processing train, and monitoring and ordering catalysts, chemicals and consumables needed to manage the facility.
• Maintain loss accounting summaries to identify and categorize facility production losses.
• Develop production engineering standards and procedures.
• Coordinate with maintenance, gas supply, commercial operations and finance on facility operations and reporting.
• Provide day‑to‑day troubleshooting support to operations.
• Set CP Facility LNG train production daily targets, define operating limits and engage with Operations, Maintenance and Engineering to develop the Production Plan for the day.
• Build and maintain real‑time, online surveillance and monitoring models to optimize the availability and performance of the CP Facility LNG liquefaction trains.
• Perform analysis to detect deviations from the live operating envelope limits and identify the actions required to safely and reliably maximize LNG rundown.
• Identify short‑, medium‑ and long‑term availability and reliability improvement initiatives to maximize LNG rundown using insights from real‑time systems and physics‑based/data‑driven models.
• Identify production risks that could impact availability and reliability and develop mitigation plans.
• Provide input to the weekly and monthly production reviews and follow up on any actions required to improve the performance of the CP Facility LNG trains.
• Identify the CP Facility LNG train production loss events and engage with relevant stakeholders to review, validate, report and manage production losses in a timely manner to maximize availability and reliability.
• Lead or be part of EIRs (Engineering Investigation Requests) and MoCs (Management of Change) required to improve the CP Facility LNG train performance.
• Lead or be part of the CP Facility LNG train production loss RCAs when required.
• Gather the required assumptions on LNG train performance and provide timely input to the forecast and annual delivery plan process.
• Support the Long‑Term Service Agreement (LTSA) process and provide all the required input and analysis as required.
• Support the development of Integrated Production Excellence standards and procedures.
• Capture lessons learned from the CP Facility and provide input to other Venture Global LNG projects/sites as required.

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical/Process or Petroleum Engineering.
• One (1) to four (4) years’ experience working as an Engineer in a process plant environment is a plus.
• Engineering graduates with a demonstrable passion to pursue a career in this discipline are also considered.
• Oil & Gas experience is required, with a strong preference in LNG applications. Petrochemical, NGL, cryogenic natural gas processing or other hydrocarbon processing experience may be acceptable.
• Travel to various sites, as needed.
