• Develop Fire & Gas detector mapping, coverage assessments, voting logic strategies, and system integration requirements.
• Review facility layouts, equipment spacing, occupied buildings, escape routes, muster areas, and passive fire protection requirements to ensure regulatory and safety compliance.
• Prepare and review technical specifications, datasheets, engineering calculations, reports, and scope of work documents related to Process Safety and Fire Protection systems.
• Ensure compliance with applicable Canadian regulations, including Alberta and British Columbia Occupational Health and Safety legislation, CSA standards, NFPA standards, API Recommended Practices, ASME requirements, and client engineering standards.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior and intermediate HSE and Process Safety engineers.
• Support proposal development, bid evaluations, project risk reviews, constructability reviews, and client presentations.
• Interface with clients, regulatory agencies, equipment vendors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to resolve technical issues and ensure project objectives are achieved.
• Participate in design reviews, model reviews, field inspections, construction support activities, pre-commissioning, commissioning, and start-up support.
• Review Management of Change (MOC) documentation and assess impacts on Process Safety and facility risk profiles.
• Support development and implementation of Process Safety Management (PSM) programs and associated performance indicators.
• Provide technical support during incident investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective action development.
• Undertake site visits, safety assessments, and field surveys as required for brownfield and operating facilities.

Mandatory Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Fire Protection Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related engineering discipline from an accredited university. A Master's degree in Process Safety, Risk Management, Fire Protection Engineering, or a related field is considered an asset.
• Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) registered and in good standing with APEGA (Alberta). Registration with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC) is required, or the ability to obtain registration within six months of employment.
• Minimum 7 years of relevant experience in Process Safety, HSE Engineering, Fire Protection, and/or Loss Prevention within the Oil & Gas, Energy, Petrochemical, LNG, Power Generation, Industrial, or EPC sectors.
