Momentum Consulting has been exclusively retained to support Vanguard Renewables, a BlackRock-backed renewable natural gas (RNG) company, in hiring a Vice President, Project Management (Head of Capital Projects) to help scale one of the most practical decarbonization platforms in North America.

Note: This is a condensed LinkedIn posting. We have a more detailed role brief that we're happy to email to interested candidates.

Vanguard Renewables develops, owns, and operates anaerobic digestion infrastructure that converts organic "waste" into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas, partnering with leading food & beverage companies and family farms across the US.

Over the next few years, Vanguard expects to deploy ~$3B of capital through 2028 across a national portfolio of RNG projects. This VP will sit at the center of that program.

The Opportunity

This is a senior, enterprise-level role - not a single-project position.

The Vice President, Project Management (Head of Capital Projects) will:

• Act as "owner of execution" for Vanguard's capital project portfolio, from early development through EPC, commissioning, and handover to operations.
• Build and lead the enterprise PMO, turning a set of complex RNG projects into a disciplined, repeatable delivery system.
• Own portfolio governance and stage-gates, providing the CEO and executive team with a single, trusted view of project and portfolio health.
• Orchestrate Development, EPC/Engineering, Operations, Feedstock, Gas, HSE, and Finance so projects move as one integrated effort.
• Bring a general-manager mindset to capital deployment - explicitly balancing CAPEX and OPEX, and designing for long-term asset performance and risk.

In simple terms: you're responsible for how ~$3B gets turned into real, operating RNG assets – safely, profitably, and predictably.

What You'll Do

Governance & portfolio "operating system".

• Design and own the project/portfolio governance framework: stage-gates, decision rights, escalation, and cadence.
• Build a single source of truth for project and portfolio data (scope, schedule, cost, risk, returns).

Enterprise project execution

• Lead cross-functional execution across Development, EPC, Operations and commercial teams.
• Identify and manage critical interdependencies early (siting, permitting, grid/gas interconnects, feedstock, offtake, community constraints).
• Intervene on challenged projects, reset plans, re-baseline when needed, and frame trade-offs for the CEO/EC.

PMO & capability build

• Build and lead a high-performing PMO / capital projects team; attract, develop and retain strong program and project leaders.
• Standardize core tools, templates and ways of working where they drive quality and speed, while preserving smart flexibility.
• Turn lessons learned into systematic improvements in siting, design, contracting and delivery.

Economics, risk & culture

• Ensure capital projects are run with P&L and lifecycle economics in mind, not just "on time/on budget in isolation".
• Work with HSE and Government/Community teams to integrate regulatory, reputational and community risk into decisions upfront.

Ideal Profile

We're looking for a seasoned capital projects / PMO executive, likely with:

• 15+ years in capital-intensive sectors (energy, infrastructure, industrials, data centers, large campuses, etc.), including multi-project portfolios (minium $60M+ projects).
• Experience leading enterprise PMOs, project controls or program management functions - not just managing one project.
• End-to-end exposure from origination/development through EPC, commissioning and handover to operations.
• Demonstrated ability to partner with C-suite / boards on investment decisions, portfolio trade-offs, and CAPEX/OPEX balancing.
• Strong leadership credentials: has turned messy or underperforming project environments into predictable systems, while keeping stakeholders on side.
• Comfort working in a fast-evolving, growth environment where not everything is fully defined, but the stakes are high.

Backgrounds from energy, industrials, EPC, infrastructure owners, large GCs, or complex data center / mission-critical environments are all very relevant.
