A day in the life of Tony Rojas

GET TO KNOW US

Our team
is changing
the world

At New Fortress Energy, we’re working every day to fuel a cleaner future, and our liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal teams are on the ground - and on the water - making it happen. Step behind the scenes with us as we follow our colleagues who help receive, store, and regasify LNG to ensure reliable, sustainable energy to light our world. Here’s what that looks like through the eyes of one of our terminal team members.

Meet Tony

What does a typical day at the terminal look like for you? 

My typical day starts with a detailed shift handover and a safety inspection to ensure all systems are in optimal condition. I then review the operational status of our gas turbines, coordinate with maintenance and electrical teams, oversee performance metrics, and ensure we meet generation targets efficiently and safely. I communicate with dispatch and the control room throughout the shift.

What systems or tools do you rely on the most? 

I rely heavily on protection systems, the AVEVA PI System for real-time data, and our internal work order and communication tools. Documentation and shift logs are also essential.

How does your branch of New Fortress Energy reinforce safety? 

Safety is everyone’s responsibility, and we take that seriously. We have daily safety briefings, personal protective equipment, regular drills, and a strong culture of reporting and analyzing.

What makes your terminal different from other NFE terminals?

We are a small team compared to other terminals but are very mighty when it comes to our dedication to remaining adaptable and going above expectations to ensure operational excellence and safety.

How do you collaborate with your team members?

Collaboration is constant, with open radio and digital communication among operators, maintenance, and engineering. We share knowledge and support each other to ensure smooth operations.

What do you want others to know about your job?

This job is both demanding and rewarding. Behind every megawatt generated, there’s a committed team working in real-time to deliver clean, reliable energy.

I appreciate our strong team spirit, the growth opportunities, and the pride of being part of a company that is reshaping the energy future with innovation and responsibility.
