Project Engineer

Golden Pass LNG, a joint venture between ExxonMobil and Qatar Energy, has the vision to become the premier LNG export company in North America. It is our mission to bring clean energy from Texas to power the world and we seek to do that in a way that values safety, integrity, our people, community, and the environment. In order to achieve those goals, we are bringing together a diverse team of experienced and talented professionals. Headquartered in Downtown Houston, the Golden Pass LNG organization expects to double in size over the next several years as we complete the project, commence natural gas trading activities, and ramp up towards full LNG production. Once full operations commence, Golden Pass LNG will become the second largest consumer of natural gas in the US and produce more than 200 cargos of LNG per annum.
