Your goal will be to build a strong understanding of refinery operations, process safety, and process engineering fundamentals while contributing to safety-critical analyses that support operational and business objectives. Your success in this role will be demonstrated through the delivery of accurate, high-quality engineering analyses, continued growth in technical expertise, and meaningful contributions to refinery improvement and capital projects through the Front-End Loading (FEL) process.

What We Offer:

• Work Environment - Work onsite in our beautiful home office building with access to a fitness facility, onsite nurse, and a café
• Competitive Compensation - Including an annual bonus plan, pension plan, and parking allowance
• Flexible Benefits Plan - In effect from day one and offers three levels of coverage to select from to meet your unique, personal needs
• Paid Vacation - Plus an annual option to purchase additional vacation, too

• Opportunity to give back to some amazing causes in our community - Choose when and where to make an impact with a paid volunteer day, company volunteer opportunities and a donation matching program

Your Responsibilities:

• Work with a trusted 3rd party to develop and maintain Heat & Material Balances (H&MBs) for refinery process units
• Perform process engineering calculations and analyses to support Safety Check Rate (SCR) development and Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) evaluations
• Collaborate with Operations, Technical Services, Process Safety, and other engineering disciplines to validate process data and operating assumptions
• Support refinery process safety initiatives by ensuring process design basis information remains accurate and current
• Identify opportunities to improve process performance, reliability, and safety through engineering studies and analysis
• Contribute to capital project development activities, including engineering studies, design basis development, and FEL deliverables
• As knowledge of refinery processes and Front-End Loading (FEL 0, FEL 1, and FEL 2) develops, progressively support and ultimately lead sustaining capital and growth projects through project definition, scope development, and execution support
• Engage with engineering contractors, licensors, and consultants as required to support technical studies and project deliverables

Your Skills:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Interest in process safety and refinery process engineering
• Ability to learn complex refinery processes and operating systems
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams
• Self-motivated with a willingness to take ownership of assigned work
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet commitments
• Curiosity and desire for continuous learning and professional development
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and related systems and technologies

Your Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering
• Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) working toward professional designation
• 0-8 years of process engineering experience in refining, oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, or similar industrial environments
• Understanding of mass and energy balance principles
• Experience with process simulation software (Aspen HYSYS or equivalent) considered an asset
• Knowledge of pressure relief systems, process safety, and refinery operations considered an asset

The expected salary range for this position is $80,836 - $122,871. Placement within range will be based on relevant experience, qualifications, and skills.
