About The Position

HGA is seeking a Part-Time Project Manager to support client operations within our Integrated Services division. The Part-Time Pipeline Project Manager is responsible for managing pipeline repair, replacement, relocation, remediation, and system upgrade projects for regional pipeline operators. This position will coordinate projects from initial scope development through engineering, construction support, commissioning, documentation, and closeout. The ideal candidate will have extensive hands-on pipeline experience and a practical understanding of pipeline operations, maintenance, construction, corrosion control, integrity activities, and regulatory requirements. Experience managing large capital or long-distance pipeline projects is not required. This role is intended for an experienced pipeline professional who can work directly with local operators, engineering personnel, field employees, contractors, and vendors to develop practical solutions and keep projects moving safely and efficiently. Because this is a part-time position, the Project Manager will focus primarily on assigned project execution rather than the broader operational management of the group.

Requirements

Substantial hands-on experience in the pipeline industry.
Practical experience supporting pipeline operations, maintenance, construction, integrity, corrosion control, or system improvement activities.
Experience coordinating pipeline projects involving field personnel, contractors, engineers, and vendors.
Experience developing scopes of work, reviewing contractor proposals, and supporting work from planning through closeout.
Working knowledge of pipeline safety, regulatory, and operator requirements.
Ability to manage multiple smaller projects and priorities concurrently.
Technical degree, associate degree, vocational training, or equivalent pipeline industry experience.
A bachelors degree is not required when supported by substantial relevant pipeline experience.
