Project Manager

Description

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to support a growing organization in Texas within the Energy/Natural Resources sector. This long-term contract position is suited for a senior-level candidate who can introduce structure, strengthen delivery practices, and provide clear visibility across complex business initiatives. The ideal candidate brings a practical transformation mindset, works effectively across operations, business teams, IT, and leadership, and can turn partially defined efforts into successfully completed outcomes.

Responsibilities

Establish practical project governance, delivery standards, and reporting practices that improve consistency across a developing project environment. Evaluate active and proposed initiatives, identify dependencies and risks, and help leadership determine realistic sequencing and priorities. Partner with operational teams, business stakeholders, and technical resources to align objectives, scope, timelines, and ownership. Drive initiatives from planning through execution by coordinating contributors, resolving blockers, and maintaining momentum toward delivery.

Create executive-level updates that clearly communicate status, resource constraints, critical decisions, and overall portfolio health. Challenge assumptions and escalate concerns when priorities, capacity, or expectations are not aligned with delivery realities. Support business transformation efforts tied to operational workflows, field maintenance processes, acquisitions, and enterprise improvement programs. Contribute to project documentation and solution planning, including business requirements, configuration considerations, integration touchpoints, and related delivery artifacts.

Requirements

Proven experience as a Senior Project Manager or Program Manager leading cross-functional business transformation initiatives. Demonstrated ability to build project management discipline within organizations that are maturing or evolving their delivery processes. Strong background in stakeholder management, with the confidence to work across business functions, IT teams, and executive leadership. Experience assessing project environments, introducing governance, and improving visibility into priorities, risks, and execution progress.

Ability to connect incomplete workstreams, manage interdependencies, and guide initiatives through to completion. Familiarity with business requirements documentation, configuration management, and coordinating technical efforts involving APIs or platform-based solutions. Knowledge of environments related to energy, industrial operations, asset-intensive businesses, or field-service organizations is preferred. Exposure to CRM or enterprise platforms such as Salesforce is advantageous.
