The Opportunity

We seek a motivated, energetic, self-starting individual to support TC Energy's growing U.S. Natural Gas (USNG) business. This individual reports to the Project Authorizations Manager within TC Energy's USNG Commercial organization, and focuses on commercial and regulatory matters applicable to our U.S. interstate pipeline and storage facilities under the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). TC Energy has a significant pipeline footprint that serves two of the most prolific supply regions of North America - the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and the Appalachian Basin. TC Energy's pipelines also source natural gas from other significant basins including the Rockies, Williston, Haynesville, Fayetteville and Anadarko basins as well as the Gulf of Mexico. TC Energy's USNG pipeline network has been developed to connect these diverse supply regions to domestic markets and to meet demand from liquified natural gas export facilities. Natural gas plays a critical role in the global energy transition. It is a reliable, high-efficiency energy source that is displacing coal-fired power while backstopping the intermittency of renewable power sources. TC Energy is committed to safely deliver the energy the world needs in an economically, environmentally and socially responsible manner.

The position is located in Houston, TX and may consider Charleston, WV.

The primary responsibilities of the role include supporting the deployment of all USNG capital sanctioned through TC Energy's growth, modernization, and operation and maintenance programs. The successful candidate develops commercial, regulatory, and project execution strategies and secures federal and state authorization for capital projects, leads the preparation, development, and execution of regulatory documents, assists in the development of commercial documents, coordinates with key internal and external stakeholders, and provides insight and follows key industry trends that could impact TC Energy. The candidate collaborates and works closely with Business Development, Marketing & Optimization, Commercial Operations, Strategy, Project Execution, Rates & Tariffs, Legal, and other groups to support commercial, regulatory, and project execution initiatives that impact individual projects, assets, and the broader organization. This position interacts with internal stakeholders, external customers, federal and state agencies, elected officials, consultants, industry organizations, and other stakeholders, as necessary.

• Prepare periodic reporting for TC Energy's jurisdictional business units and projects related to system contracting and capacity, system design, project construction, and construction compliance.

• Monitor key industry trends within the energy infrastructure sector that are relevant to TC Energy's USNG assets.
