This position offers the opportunity to provide engineering leadership and technical authority in support of operations, with a strong emphasis on planning and assurance of complex field execution activities, including work on operational process piping systems where issues or deficiencies could impact public safety, the environment, or system integrity.

• Support major projects and sustaining capital work through outage planning and execution readiness, including development of Engineered Job Plans (EJPs), Job Hazard Assessments (JHAs), and detailed isolation, lockout, and drain‑down strategies.
• Lead the development, review, and technical assurance of Engineered Job Plans supporting complex field execution activities such as line breaks, hot tie‑ins, purging (including nitrogen operations), isolation, and commissioning of operational process piping systems.
• Ensure EJPs are fit‑for‑purpose, technically rigorous, and aligned with company standards, regulatory requirements, and safe work practices, with appropriate level of review based on risk and complexity.
• Provide independent engineering oversight and challenge function to ensure key execution risks are identified, mitigated, and clearly communicated prior to field execution.
• Support Transfer of Care, Custody, and Control (TCCC) execution, including planning and execution of hot work tie‑ins to in‑service assets and leading Pre‑Startup Safety Reviews (PSSR).
• Coordinate with Operations, Technical Services, Integrity, and Project teams to ensure clear delineation of roles, accountabilities, and execution readiness for both sustaining capital and major project scopes.
• Ensure facility and pipeline modifications meet fit‑for‑purpose design intent and operational requirements, particularly for brownfield integration into live systems.
• Provide technical guidance and troubleshooting support to field operations for unplanned events, abnormal operating conditions, and execution challenges.
• Provide technical direction and oversight to external consultants and contractors, ensuring engineering deliverables meet required standards of quality, safety, and constructability.
• Support incident and near‑miss investigations, including identification of root causes and development of engineering‑driven corrective actions and lessons learned.
• Provide project engineering and management services including managing 3rd party engineering firms; project scoping; preparing AFEs; drawing/design review, permitting, job hazard analysis, cost and schedule tracking, construction coordination, commissioning, and start‑up support.

• Post‑secondary education with a bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Chemical).
• Ability to register as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in British Columbia.
• Minimum five years engineering experience in a related field.
• Pipeline engineering and project management experience preferred, managing multiple projects.
• Experience working in an operating environment such as refinery, pipeline, mill, mine or plant is preferred.
• Leadership and supervisory experience preferred.
• Preference will be given to candidates with pipeline engineering experience.
• Project management experience including experience managing projects up to $5 M.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a diverse group of technical personnel.
• A track record of delivering high‑quality work, managing competing priorities, and supporting key business processes or operational functions.
