The Aitken Creek Gas Storage Optimization Project consists of two primary workstreams:

1. New Plant (Capacity Addition):

• Design and construction of a new 300 MMSCFD Refrigeration Plant

• Addition of four (4) new storage wells and one (1) new observation well

• Construction of a pipeline connecting storage wells to the plant site

2. Optimization of Existing Plant:

• Replacement and upgrade of header piping

• Replacement of primary compressors

• Full plant automation upgrade: Replace existing DCS with modern PLC systems

• Custody measurement review and upgrade

• Upgrade of existing utilities and support infrastructure

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide senior engineering oversight for all aspects of facility and pipeline engineering for both new and existing infrastructure.

• Lead technical interface with multiple Engineering Contractors to ensure alignment with scope, schedule, quality, and cost.

• Ensure engineering deliverables meet regulatory, corporate, and project-specific standards.

• Coordinate and drive integration of concurrent engineering scopes across new plant and existing facilities.

• Collaborate with construction, commissioning, and operations teams to ensure engineering supports seamless execution.

• Act as the technical authority and escalation point for complex engineering decisions.

• Lead risk identification and mitigation related to engineering scope.

• Ensure robust change management is applied across design development and execution.

• Represent the project in internal and external engineering reviews.

Qualifications:

Must-Have:

• 15+ years of engineering experience in gas processing facility design and execution.

• Demonstrated success delivering large, multi-scope energy infrastructure projects.

• Deep understanding of process, mechanical, instrumentation, automation, and utility systems.

• Extensive experience managing multiple Engineering Contractors and concurrent scopes.

• Proven ability to work independently in a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment.

Preferred:

• Prior experience in brownfield facility optimization projects.

• Strong working knowledge of project lifecycle phases including FEL, detailed design, and construction support.

• Familiarity with pipeline interface considerations in facility design.
Credentials:

• Registered Professional Engineer (P. Eng.) or Professional Technologist (P. Tech. Eng.) in Canada.

Key Competencies:

• Strong leadership and communication skills

• Proactive, self-directed, and accountable

• Systems thinker with attention to technical and execution details

• High integrity and safety-first mindset

• Team-oriented with ability to foster collaboration across disciplines

Working Conditions:

• Office-based with regular site visits to Aitken Creek Gas Storage Facility as required (approx. 25% travel)

• Travel to engineering contractor offices will be required periodically.

• Field work may involve exposure to industrial environments and operating facilities.
