LNG Engineering & Technical Roles

On typical LNG projects, the Project Manager is responsible for overall delivery: managing scope, budget, schedule, risk, contractors, and stakeholder coordination to keep the project safe and on track. Engineering Managers focus on the technical side, leading design development, coordinating disciplines, ensuring compliance with codes and specifications, and making sure the engineering deliverables support constructability, commissioning, and handover.

Orion excels in recruiting experienced Project Managers for the LNG sector. Leveraging our industry expertise, we connect clients with professionals who possess strong organisational skills and the technical knowledge required to manage large, complex LNG projects efficiently and accurately.

Construction Managers on LNG projects typically oversee overall site execution, making sure the work is safe, on schedule, within budget, and compliant with drawings, specs, and quality standards. 

Site Superintendents and Supervisors handle the day-to-day field work, coordinating crews, sequencing, logistics, and subcontractors while resolving site issues quickly and enforcing safety and quality on the ground.

Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation and Process Engineers design and specify the systems and equipment needed to safely produce, treat, liquefy, store and export gas. They also support installation, testing, commissioning and troubleshooting, making sure the plant is efficient, reliable and compliant with safety and technical standards.

More specifically, mechanical engineers focus on rotating and static equipment, electrical engineers on power distribution and motors, instrumentation engineers on control, measurement and automation systems, and process engineers on optimizing the LNG process flow and performance.

They also support testing, troubleshooting, operator training, documentation, and handover to ensure all equipment and process systems perform to design and are ready for first LNG production.

Operations & Maintenance Personnel on typical LNG projects are responsible for keeping plant systems safe, reliable, and running efficiently, including monitoring equipment, carrying out inspections, and responding to faults or alarms. They also handle preventive and corrective maintenance, support troubleshooting and repairs, and work closely with operations, engineering, and safety teams to maintain compliance and minimize downtime.
