Role Overview
Construction Finance is the finance function for the company's LNG capital projects. We fund them, account for them, forecast them, and provide independent financial challenge on cost and schedule outcomes.
This role builds and owns operating models for our project entities. These models connect construction execution, funding, and commercial operations to entity-level financial results, covenant compliance, and distributions. The role also helps raise the team's modeling capability through shared standards, templates, and coaching.
The role reports to the VP, Construction Finance, and works closely with Treasury, FP&A, Project Controls, Accounting, and senior leadership. Candidates should expect periodic extended hours around reporting and executive deadlines.
This position is 100% office-based in Arlington, VA. Occasional travel to construction sites and the Houston office is required.
