About SPEC Services
SPEC Services is a 200+ person engineering services firm with more than 45 years supporting the energy sector. We are known for practical solutions, responsive service, and long-standing client relationships, with a culture focused on technical excellence and doing the work the right way in operating and brownfield environments.
Summary of the Role
As a Senior Project Manager, you will lead and deliver midstream engineering projects, including gas and liquids facilities, pipelines, and related infrastructure, such as brownfield modifications, terminal and storage facilities, compression systems, pipeline expansions and replacements, metering and regulating stations, custody transfer and measurement systems, and associated tie-ins and pipeline appurtenances. You will lead multidisciplinary teams, serve as the primary client point of contact, and drive project outcomes through disciplined execution, risk management, and clear communication. This role is focused on delivery leadership and client trust, not sales or EPC-style project delivery.
