Position Summary

Worley Canada Construction is a leader in industrial construction across Alberta and western Canada. Our employees build exciting careers in fabrication, modularization, field installation, and professional support services for some of the world’s most challenging energy, infrastructure, and industrial projects.

Worley Canada Construction is currently seeking Material Planners to support project execution by ensuring materials are defined, structured, and prepared within the materials management system in advance of construction activities. The Material Planner is responsible for the upstream planning and system setup of materials data to ensure construction readiness. This role is accountable for establishing accurate material requirements, structuring material data within the materials management system (Site Sense), and ensuring alignment between engineering deliverables, procurement data, and construction needs.

The Material Planner enables effective field execution by ensuring materials are visible, traceable, and properly configured in the system prior to receipt and use on site.

Work Conditions

• This role may be Site-based or Home-Office based, project dependent
• Supports project sites across British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan
• Shift / Schedule dependent on project assignment
• Living Out Allowance, travel, or camp may be applicable, dependent on project assignment
• Where home office based, occasional travel to fabrication yards or project sites may be required

Reporting & Interfaces

• Reports functionally to the Materials Management leadership structure
• Assigned to a project, and reports operationally to the applicable Materials Lead, Major Projects

Frequently interfaces with:

• Engineering
• Procurement / expediting
• Construction planning / Workface Planning
• Project Materials Team
• Home office / digital & systems support

Interface expectations:

• Acts as the primary point of coordination for materials data setup and planning logic
• Ensures alignment between engineering outputs, procurement data, and construction requirements
• Communicates risks related to incomplete or misaligned material data proactively
• Enables field teams by ensuring materials are correctly represented in the system prior to execution

Key Accountability Areas

Material Planning & Data Preparation

• Develop and validate material requirements based on engineering deliverables (e.g., MTOs, drawings, specifications)
• Structure material data for system loading, including tagging, breakdown, and hierarchy (e.g., FIWP alignment, piece marks, tag-level detail)
• Ensure material data is complete, accurate, and consistent prior to system entry
• Define and maintain material identification structures to support tracking, traceability, and reporting

System Setup & Integrity (Site Sense)

• Lead the setup of materials within the materials management system to support construction tracking and reporting
• Ensure materials are properly configured to enable receiving, issuing, and reporting workflows
• Validate that system structure aligns with construction execution logic (e.g., FIWP-level visibility, work package alignment)
• Maintain data quality standards and governance across material records

Integration with Engineering & Procurement

• Interface with engineering teams to ensure material take-offs are accurate, structured, and usable for downstream execution
• Support procurement by aligning material data with purchase orders, vendor documentation, and delivery expectations
• Identify and resolve gaps between engineering outputs, procurement data, and system requirements
• Ensure subcontractor-supplied materials are incorporated into the materials system in advance of delivery

Construction Readiness (Forward-looking)

• Analyze material availability against construction schedules and workface planning requirements
• Identify upcoming material constraints, data gaps, or risks prior to impacting field execution
• Support readiness reporting by ensuring materials are visible and aligned to construction priorities ahead of time
• Coordinate with Material Controllers and Construction teams to ensure smooth handoff from planning to execution

Data Governance & Continuous Improvement

• Establish and maintain standards for material data structure, naming conventions, and system setup
• Identify recurring issues in engineering, procurement, or data setup processes and recommend improvements
• Support the development of procedures, templates, and best practices for material planning and system configuration
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives related to materials management systems and processes
