About Us

Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure Ltd. publicly listed with a business objective to build a diversified midstream and infrastructure company in the North American natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil, refined product, and renewable space.

Tidewater plans to achieve its business objective by providing customers with a full service, vertically integrated value chain, including gas plants, pipelines, railcars, export terminals, storage, downstream facilities, and various renewable initiatives.

The Opportunity

Tidewater has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Environmental Engineer reporting to the General Manager of the refinery. This is a full-time position based in Prince George, BC.
About the Role
The Senior Environmental Engineer is a key technical and regulatory leadership position responsible for ensuring environmental compliance across both the Conventional Refinery and the Renewable Diesel (HDRD) facility. This role works closely with the General Managers of both operations, as well as Operations, Maintenance, and Project teams, to ensure all activities are conducted in accordance with environmental permits, applicable legislation, regulatory requirements, and company standards.
