Jimmy Theriot

James “Jimmy” Theriot joined Milestone Project Services in 2020 and quickly became a cornerstone of the leadership team. As General Manager of the Turnaround (TAR) Division, he brings more than 18 years of Oil & Gas experience to guiding complex projects from concept to completion. His career blends the rigor of engineering design with the practical demands of field construction, giving him a rare, comprehensive perspective on every phase of project execution.

Jimmy spent 12 years as a lead structural designer, transforming large-scale industrial concepts into reality. He later transitioned to field operations, managing construction activities for both offshore and onshore facilities. This dual background allows him to translate technical plans into workable solutions, aligning engineering requirements with the realities of construction sites and offshore installations. His portfolio includes complete EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) packages for turnkey facilities, where his focus on constructability and efficiency has consistently delivered superior outcomes.

Known for steady leadership and enthusiasm for challenging assignments, Jimmy thrives on projects with many moving parts. He provides strategic oversight while staying deeply engaged in day-to-day problem solving. At Milestone, he directs the Turnaround Division, contributes to business development, and strengthens client relationships. He also adds a personal touch to company culture as the force behind Milestone’s popular cook trailer, where his inventive culinary creations are a highlight at company and community events.

Rooted in his Southern upbringing and Louisiana bayou heritage, Jimmy brings the same dedication to his personal life as to his professional work. He enjoys time with his two sons, sharing his love of cooking, fishing the marshes for redfish, and bowhunting in the quiet of early mornings. This blend of technical expertise, field knowledge, and down-to-earth character makes him an invaluable leader and trusted partner across the industry.
