Senior Staff Engineer, Electrical
Venture Global LNG, Point Celeste, Louisiana, United States
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 serve 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 Staff Engineer, Electrical to join our Plaquemines Parish Facility Team in Louisiana. This role reports to the Director, Operations Engineering and will be responsible for supporting the development and progressing the Ready for Operations (RFO) activities, ensuring a seamless transition of the facility from EPC to the operations phase.
The successful candidate will have technical expertise in the Electrical Engineering discipline with an in‑depth understanding of motors, transformers, switchgear, and other electrical equipment, and will be familiar with associated industry standards, guidelines, and codes. A working knowledge of general plant equipment in the Oil & Gas industry is also key to the successful performance of this job. The successful candidate shall exhibit excellent written and oral communication skills in English, be a self‑starter, and develop conceptual ideas with minimal guidance.
As part of the role, the engineer will provide minimal reliability engineering support to the Operations team, focusing on:
Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) – leading RCFA exercises for failures relating to plant equipment and/or processes.
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) – driving fine‑tuning and improvements in existing maintenance practices to achieve cost‑effective, safe, and robust maintenance strategies.
Responsibilities
Serve as the resident company Technical Expert, providing advice and guidance on electrical system engineering issues.
Provide day‑to‑day electrical systems support to Maintenance & Operations teams to ensure continued operability of plant equipment.
Provide advanced diagnostic support to allow rapid production recovery in the event of equipment failure and forced plant outages.
Lead RCFA activities, producing technical summaries with causes and recommendations.
Interpret and evaluate analysis and recommendations from Reliability Technicians on predictive programs.
Support the Maintenance team for turnaround planning and execution.
Track availability and improve overall reliability for plant equipment, evaluating workflow processes, identifying critical spares, and setting spare parts storage and preservation requirements for electrical systems throughout the plant.
Qualifications
Minimum Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
A Professional Engineering License is preferred.
10 to 15 years of experience in a senior engineering capacity, working with electrical equipment in an industrial setting or operations.
Oil & Gas experience required, preferably in LNG applications; petrochemical, NGL, cryogenic natural gas processing, or other hydrocarbon processing experience may be acceptable.
Extensive knowledge of motors, gas turbines (Frames & Aero‑derivatives), and compressors.
Additional skills: knowledge of CMMS systems, power system analysis, RCFA tools for conducting failure analysis.
Venture Global LNG is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, non‑disqualifying physical or mental disability, national origin, veteran status, or any other basis covered by appropriate law.
