gulpfile in one place and node modules in another folder. Will this work?

HI ,
I think this question has been asked. But just wanted to confirm, if gulp is enhanced a solution.
I have below structure -
Projects

   |
   | ------local-modules
                       |
                       |---------node_modules
   |-------ProjectA
                  |
                  |------ gulpfile.js
  |-------ProjectB
                  |
                  |------ gulpfile.js

This way we have multiple projects, but i want to use only one node modules to speed up the build process through Jenkins, and make structure cleaner.
I have tried multiple things -

1. Went to gulp folder(node modules) and ran, node gulp.js --gulpfile . Local gulp not found
2. Went to project folder where gulp file is available and ran, node <gulp.js location> . Local gulp not found

A quick response will be appreciated.
TIA
