Venture Global LNG (“Venture Global”) is a long-term, low-cost provider of American-produced liquefied natural gas. The company’s 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 qualified applicants for the position:
Superintendent, Operations AssuranceLocated:
CameronSummary The Operations Assurance Superintendent is responsible for evaluating and assuring the safe, reliable, efficient, and compliant operation of Venture Global LNG facilities and assets. This role provides independent oversight of operational performance, risk management, regulatory compliance, and adherence to VG Operations Management System (OMS) standards across site operations. Responsibilities include assessing operational processes, identifying performance gaps and operational risks, supporting continuous improvement initiatives, and communicating findings and recommendations to the Operations Assurance Manager for appropriate engagement with site and executive leadership. The role requires close collaboration with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, HSSE, and other multidisciplinary teams to promote operational excellence, strengthen reliability, and support safe and environmentally responsible LNG operations. General Description Duties & Responsibilities
- Operational Monitoring and Assurance
- Monitor and evaluate key performance indicators for operational drift, including process drift, process degradation, deviation from design intent, and operating outside approved operating envelopes. Assess process performance through metrics such as pretreatment efficiency, liquefaction efficiency, cryogenic equipment performance, compressor operations, power plant operations, and boil-off gas management, to assess overall site performance and operational effectiveness.
- Conduct operational assurance reviews to provide independent assurance of alignment with but not limited to, VG OMS Standards, API (American Petroleum Institute) guidelines, OSHA regulations, environmental requirements, and LNG industry best practices.
- Observe field activities and evaluate the condition and operation of pipelines, process units, LNG storage tanks, loading arms, and marine terminal systems to assess operational integrity, reliability, and adherence to safe operating practices.
- Evaluate operational concerns, identify gaps or deviations from established standards and expectations, and communicate findings, trends, risks, and recommendations to support informed operational decision-making.
- Independently verify field execution to confirm operational activities are performed in accordance with approved procedures, permits, standards, risk controls, and established expectations. Evaluate the effectiveness of controls at the point of execution, identify gaps between documented requirements and actual work practices, and determine whether corrective actions and operational improvements are effectively implemented and sustained.
- Performance Monitoring
- Evaluate the operational performance, reliability, and availability of critical equipment including turbines, heat exchangers, compressors, and other supporting systems to assess efficiency and identify performance gaps.
- Analyze overall site throughput and operational performance data to identify performance constraints, process variability, operational inefficiencies, and opportunities for optimization across power management, pretreatment, liquefaction, storage, and loading systems.
- Analyze, communicate, and present operational trends, performance deviations, emerging risks, and areas of concern to support informed decision-making by site leadership and executive management through established communication channels.
- Regulatory Compliance
- Assess operational controls and monitoring programs related to emissions management, including flare operations, nitrogen oxide (NOx) limits, and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction objectives, to verify regulatory and corporate compliance.
- Validate regulatory documentation, reporting processes, safety drill records, and emergency response program requirements to evaluate compliance with internal standards and external regulatory obligations related to the LNG-specific environment.
- Risk Management
- Conduct assurance reviews of risk mitigation strategies, emergency response plans, and incident preparedness programs to evaluate the effectiveness and readiness of fire suppression, containment, evacuation, and other LNG-related emergency response capabilities.
- Assess the effectiveness, reliability, and availability of critical safety systems, fire and gas detection systems, and their process safety safeguards to provide operational assurance that protective systems can perform their intended safety functions. This assessment can vary depending on the asset phase - i.e., Projects, CSU (Commissioning and Startup), Early Operations, and Stable Operations.
- Continuous Improvement
- Identify and evaluate opportunities to enhance operational performance through the application of emerging technologies, automation, and advanced analytics across pretreatment, liquefaction, storage, and loading operations.
- Evaluate and support initiatives focused on optimizing facility performance, improving energy recovery, reducing fuel gas consumption, and supporting emissions reduction objectives.
- Collaborate with engineering, operations, HSSE, and technical teams to identify process improvements, strengthen operational reliability, and enhance safety and efficiency across site operations.
- Communication and Collaboration
- Contribute to effective communication and collaboration among Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, HSSE, Environmental, and other internal disciplines to support operational assurance initiatives and achievement of organizational objectives.
- Evaluate and promote alignment of operational goals, processes, standards, and expectations across departments to support safe, reliable, and efficient site operations.
- Promote a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement to strengthen operational consistency, compliance, and overall site performance.
- Problem Solving
- Support and participate in investigations related to operational issues - including equipment fouling, cryogenic leaks, process instability, and variability in liquefaction performance - to identify contributing factors and operational risks.
- Evaluate production constraints and operational bottlenecks, such as feed gas quality variability, refrigeration limitations, or process inefficiencies, and provide findings and recommendations to support performance improvement initiatives
Qualifications
Required experience
- Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience within LNG, oil & gas processing, petrochemical, refining, chemical processing, power generation, or other high-hazard industrial operations environments.
- Demonstrated experience in operations, commissioning, maintenance, engineering, process safety, or operational assurance within complex industrial facilities.
- Multi-Disciplinary.
- Understand Consequence.
- Ability to communicate to a wide audience.
- Proven ability to evaluate complex operational issues, assess operational risks, and effectively communicate findings and recommendations to leadership.
- Previous leadership, supervisory, senior technical, or operational oversight experience is strongly preferred.
Preferred Experience
- Associate or bachelor's degree in engineering, Industrial Technology, Operations, Process Technology, Safety, or a related technical discipline preferred.
- Previous experience serving in positions such as Operations Superintendent, Shift Superintendent, Operations Supervisor, Senior Operator, Commissioning Lead, Operations Engineer, Process Engineer, or other comparable senior industrial leadership or technical roles.
- Experience supporting LNG operations, liquefaction facilities, or other large-scale continuous process operations.
- Experience conducting operational assurance reviews, operational readiness assessments, audits, investigations, or compliance evaluations.
- Working knowledge of root cause analysis methodologies, incident investigation processes, and corrective action management systems.
- Experience supporting facility commissioning, startup, stabilization, performance optimization, or transition from project execution into sustained operations.
Required Education High school diploma or equivalent required. Licensing & Certifications
- Must maintain a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) card in good standing status.
