Reliability, Integrity & Optimization

• Identify opportunities for operational efficiency improvements and debottlenecking within midstream and upstream integrated systems.
• Drive continuous improvement-benchmarking CAPEX/OPEX, standardizing designs, implementing digital tools (SCADA, historian, pipeline simulation, facility digital twins).

Required Education, Experience, & Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Petroleum, or Civil Engineering. Non-engineering degreed professionals may also be considered with extensive proven relevant experience.
• 10+ years of relevant experience in oil & gas project engineering, with strong exposure to midstream operations in Alberta.
• Direct experience with SAGD facilities
• Experience in brownfield modifications and facility expansions
• Demonstrated experience managing engineering and construction projects for remote or oil sands environments.
• Strong knowledge of pipeline systems, fluid handling, thermal systems, and oil processing infrastructure.
• Familiarity with Canadian codes and standards (CSA, ASME, API) and AER regulations
• Superior field presence, safety leadership, communication, and crossdisciplinary coordination.
• Proven ability to manage budgets, schedules, and multidiscipline teams effectively.
• Proficiency in using standard office software like Microsoft Office Suite.

Preferred Education & Skills:

• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation in Alberta (APEGA) or eligibility to obtain within 12 months of employment.
• Exposure to water treatment, steam generation (OTSG/HRSG), and heat integration systems.
• Familiarity with AFE development, cost control, scheduling (Primavera P6 or MS Project), and contractor oversight.

Physical/Field Requirements

• Ability to visit remote field sites, walk ROWs and facilities, and work in all seasonal conditions in Alberta, Canada.
• Comfortable with routine PPE and safety protocols; valid driver's license and clean driving record.
