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.

• 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

• Ability to operate independently and exercise sound judgment in politically and publicly sensitive environments.
