Job Description:

Redleaf Energy is seeking a top-tier Project Manager to lead high-value ($50m–$150m) Oil & Gas and major infrastructure assets. This is a high-visibility role requiring a seasoned engineer who can master the "Golden Triangle" of project management: Safety, Schedule, and Cost.

You will take full ownership of the project life-cycle—from mobilization through to commissioning—while maintaining a "Zero Harm" HSSE culture. We are looking for a commercial heavyweight who can navigate the complexities of EPCC contracts, proactively manage claims and variations, and ensure strict adherence to Nigerian Content requirements.

• Supply Chain Vigilance: Proactively manage long-lead items and critical materials using a live tracker and early warning system to prevent schedule slippage.

• Asset Readiness: Ensure the delivery of two-year recommended spares and technical documentation in strict alignment with contract specifications.

2. Commercial & Cost Governance

• Financial Stewardship: Maintain top-quartile cost performance through rigorous monthly cost reporting, cashflow forecasting, and budget monitoring.

• Contractual Strategy: Lead commercial risk-based decision-making; prepare accurate monthly valuations, manage variation claims, and process payment certificates.

• Variation Management: Maintain a sharp focus on scope-creep, ensuring all variations are documented and claims are processed to protect project margins.

3. Risk Management & HSSE Leadership

• Zero Harm Culture: Hold full accountability for HSSE, ensuring zero harm to people, assets, and the environment throughout the project duration.

• Proactive Risk Mitigation: Identify and document technical and commercial risks, implementing mitigation strategies before they impact project delivery.

• Regulatory Compliance: Drive strict compliance with Nigerian Content requirements in all procurement and labor activities.
