Wood is looking for a motivated technical expert to lead the front-end development of opportunities at one of our client's sites as a Secondee. This position is based in Edmonton, AB.

The Project Development Engineer's primary responsibility is the front-end capital project development for medium to long term improvement, threat mitigation, and growth opportunities for the Scotford facility.

Excellent collaboration, stakeholder management, and communication skills are key for site, global discipline teams and other stakeholders on even the smallest of projects. An ability to diagnose and present complex topics in a simple understandable way using facilitation techniques will be required to show proactive and effective decision-making skills.

This role is for someone looking to continue to develop their skills in front end opportunity management, stakeholder engagement, problem solving and gain exposure to executing projects within the Project Management Framework.
