• Support the development of remediation scopes and engineering recommendations for stress and strain-related integrity concerns.
• Provide technical support on pipeline stress and strain issues.
• Support pipeline incident investigations and engineering assessments as required.
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, and engineering documentation for internal stakeholders.
• Assist in the development and maintenance of engineering procedures, work processes, and business practices.
• Contribute to data analysis, KPI tracking, and continuous improvement initiatives within the Stress Management Team.
• Work with senior engineers to develop analytical approaches and perform engineering assessments using commercial software.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a related engineering discipline from an accredited university.
• Registered as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or Engineer-in-Training (EIT), or eligible for registration with APEGA.
• Typically 2-7 years of relevant engineering experience in stress analysis, pipeline engineering, integrity management, or a related field.
• Understanding of mechanics of materials, structural analysis, and engineering fundamentals.
• Familiarity with finite element analysis principles and engineering assessment methods.
• Knowledge of, or willingness to learn, industry codes and standards such as CSA Z662, ASME B31.8, API 579, API 1102, and related pipeline integrity standards.
• Experience with or exposure to engineering analysis software such as Abaqus, Ansys, AutoPIPE, or Caesar II is considered an asset.
• Knowledge of fracture mechanics, fatigue assessment, fitness-for-service methodologies, or materials engineering is considered an asset.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in both small and large multidisciplinary teams.
