Intermediate Pipeline Designer

What Vista Does Vista Projects is an integrated engineering firm who has been solving complex challenges in the energy industry since 1985.

We are innovators at our core.

We continually find better, smarter ways to design and deliver oil and gas projects, and we are proud to be contributing on some of the most exciting low-carbon and synthetic fuel developments in the North America.

For our people, that means meaningful, varied work and a real chance to shape how modern engineering gets done.

We are innovators in the energy industry.

We actively find ways to improve how oil and gas projects are designed and delivered, and we are contributing to some remarkable low-carbon and synthetic fuel developments; including electro sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) and gas-to-liquids (GTL) projects.

We are headquartered in Calgary and maintain a satellite office in Houston.

Why We Do It The world needs energy, and better engineering makes the projects that deliver it safer, more efficient and more sustainable.

Our multi-discipline teams have designed some of the most challenging and successful projects in the North American energy sector, from early-stage studies and pilots to large-scale commercial expansions.

We take pride in doing that work well, and just as much pride in continuously improving how we do it.

What You Would Do in This Role The Intermediate Pipeline Designer assists in the preparation of design documents and drawings during the execution of a project specific to their discipline specialty (Piping, and Civil).

Duties include:

Pipeline Design & Layout Develop pipeline alignments and routing studies based on engineering, environmental, regulatory, and land-use constraints Prepare pipeline plan and profile drawings, alignment sheets, and route selection documentation Design gathering systems, transmission pipelines, flowlines, and associated facilities tie-ins Perform pipeline corridor assessments and optimize routing for constructability, safety, and cost effectiveness Coordinate pipeline crossings including roads, railways, watercourses, utilities, and third-party infrastructure Design Deliverables Prepare and maintain:
Alignment sheets General Arrangement Bend Schedule Plan and profile drawings Crossing drawings Typical installation details Construction work packages Material take-offs (MTOs) Design sketches and markups Develop and maintain 3D pipeline models using AutoCAD Plant 3D Ensure drawing quality, accuracy, and compliance with project standards Project Coordination Coordinate with Pipeline Engineers to incorporate process, stress, hydraulic, mechanical, and integrity requirements into designs Interface with survey, geotechnical, environmental, and regulatory teams Participate in design reviews and constructability reviews Support procurement and construction teams with technical design information Quality & Compliance Apply industry standards and regulatory requirements including: CSA Z662 ASME standards Client specifications Provincial and federal regulations Ensure compliance with company drafting and design procedures Participate in quality reviews and design checks Support management of change (MOC) processes and design revisions Construction Support Provide design support during construction and commissioning activities Review field change requests and red-line markups Assist with as-built drawing updates Support resolution of construction-related design issues Requirements 5–10 years of pipeline design experience Experience in oil and gas, midstream, utility, or industrial pipeline projects Diploma or Degree in Piping Design, Civil Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or related discipline Experience supporting projects through FEEED, detailed engineering, construction, and commissioning phases Equivalent industry experience may be considered Proficiency with:
