Position Summary

The Growth Project Engagement Manager advances EQT’s Midstream Growth and New Ventures portfolio by leading stakeholder engagement for new capital infrastructure projects, which may include FERC-regulated facilities, natural gas transmission, carbon capture and sequestration (CCUS), broader carbon management initiatives, and power generation projects.

Reporting to the Director, Growth Affairs, this role serves as EQT’s lead representative in assigned project geographies and is directly responsible for helping move projects from concept to approval. The Manager builds and manages strategic relationships with local officials, regulators, community leaders, and landowners to proactively align stakeholders and secure durable support.

This role leads outreach strategies tightly aligned with project siting, permitting, and commercialization milestones — ensuring projects successfully navigate local approvals, regulatory scrutiny, and public engagement requirements. Success in this position is measured by the ability to translate community engagement into tangible progress against development timelines.

This role is well suited for a professional who has experience working on energy infrastructure projects and understands the realities of project development, regulatory scrutiny, and community engagement in high-visibility environments. Travel may account for up to 50% of working time. When not traveling, work may be performed remotely. Preference for candidates located in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or West Virginia.

The Growth Project Engagement Manager responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Lead stakeholder engagement efforts within assigned project areas, serving as EQT’s primary point of contact for key stakeholders.
  • Develop and implement milestone-driven outreach strategies aligned with project development and regulatory timelines.
  • Cultivate productive relationships with local officials, regulators, economic development organizations, community groups, landowners, and trade associations.
  • Represent EQT in public meetings, stakeholder briefings, and one-on-one engagement settings.
  • Provide actionable field intelligence by monitoring local political, regulatory, and community dynamics; identify emerging risks and opportunities.
  • Track and document stakeholder engagement activities and measure impact on project progress and community outcomes.
  • Coordinate closely with project leadership, external consultants, and EQT’s Corporate Communications and Government Affairs teams to ensure engagement strategies are aligned with operational priorities, regulatory objectives, and broader corporate positioning.
  • Collaborate with public and private sector project partners to ensure alignment on public engagement, permitting, communications, and overall project execution.

 

Required Experience and Skills:

  • Bachelor’s Degree
  • 5+ years of relevant experience
  • Experience supporting Corporate Communications, Government Affairs, or Community Affairs within a utility, midstream, upstream, or other energy infrastructure company; agency experience supporting energy sector clients is also acceptable
  • Experience serving as a primary stakeholder contact for infrastructure or capital projects

 

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

  • Strong understanding of energy infrastructure development, including permitting processes, regulatory review, and stakeholder risk management.
  • Ability to operate independently and exercise sound judgment in politically and publicly sensitive environments.
  • Clear communicator with confidence representing the company in high-visibility settings.
  • Strong organizational discipline and ability to build consensus among internal and external stakeholders.

 

Preferred Experience and Skills:

  • 8+ years of relevant experience
  • Experience leading outreach strategies for energy infrastructure projects
  • Experience supporting FERC-regulated projects, natural gas transmission, CCUS, carbon management, power generation initiatives, and/or emerging energy technologies

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
