JOB SUMMARY ONEOK is seeking an Engineer IV in Mont Belvieu, TX, who will be responsible for leading project development activities supporting midstream assets and growth opportunities along the Gulf Coast. This role will focus on front-end project development across the project lifecycle, including conceptual design, scope development, project estimating, risk identification, strategic planning, stakeholder alignment, reporting, and technical support for Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) and related facilities. This position will also support strategic planning efforts and help ensure projects are positioned for successful execution.

The Engineer IV will collaborate closely with operations, engineering, construction, project management, commercial, and other cross-functional teams to develop and advance complex projects safely and effectively. The ideal candidate will bring proven project development experience, strong project estimating and planning capabilities, an understanding of project risk and organizational priorities, and the ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders while providing technical guidance during project definition and evaluation. Midstream industry experience is preferred to help the selected candidate quickly learn operations and contribute to active development initiatives, though candidates with strong engineering, planning, or closely related project development backgrounds may also offer transferable experience.

This position is best suited for a candidate with approximately 5 to 10 years of relevant engineering, project development, operations, construction, or project management experience, including demonstrated success leading front-end project development activities for pipeline systems, processing or storage facilities, measurement and regulation assets, or other midstream infrastructure. Candidates should possess strong project estimating, risk assessment, strategic planning, and stakeholder engagement capabilities, with a proven ability to develop technically sound recommendations that support business objectives and long-term asset strategies. The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to anticipate challenges, proactively develop solutions, influence cross-functional teams without direct authority, drive consistency in project development processes, transfer knowledge to build organizational capability, and effectively communicate project risks, costs, and opportunities to stakeholders and leadership. A bachelor's degree in Engineering is preferred, and Project Management Professional (PMP) certification is a plus.

This role is based in Mont Belvieu, TX, and follows a hybrid schedule, with remote work available on Fridays and a 4-9-4 schedule option. Travel of approximately 10-15% is expected to support projects throughout the Gulf Coast region. Job Profile Summary
