Recruiting Top Engineers, Industrial Pros, and Executives

Complex engineering. Visible impact. Tight-knit team.

We’re recruiting a Senior Project Engineer on behalf of our customer — a nimble, technically respected company where you’ll take real ownership and shape projects from front to back. This is a rare “bigger fish in a smaller pond” scenario: you’ll lead client-facing execution and stamp drawings while contributing meaningfully to team culture and engineering excellence.

What You’ll Own

• Full-cycle project engineering — from client requirements to stamped drawings, vendor review, and final handoff

• Day-to-day client interface: you’re the single point of contact

• Regulatory and standards compliance (ASME, ANSI, API) throughout design and execution

• Multi-disciplinary coordination: internal teams, procurement, fabrication, QC, and shop

• Engineering change orders, bid support, reporting, and documentation

• Mentorship of junior engineers and proactive application of “lessons learned”

Why Join?

• ~$130K base salary + performance-based incentives

• Work where your P.Eng. stamp matters and your decisions drive outcomes

• High-collaboration, low-bureaucracy culture with flexible approaches to working

• Edmonton-based role with occasional in-province travel and exposure to exciting gas processing and manufacturing work

• Grow your technical depth without giving up project leadership

What You Bring

• P.Eng. (or P.Tech., P.L. Eng.) registered in Alberta or eligible

• 8+ years of project engineering experience, ideally in gas processing or industrial manufacturing

• Strong command of AutoCAD, Inventor, and project-related tools (Pro/Engineer, Microsoft Office)

• A professional mindset with client-facing confidence and technical accuracy

• Knowledge of fabrication, shop coordination, procurement, and schedule-driven execution

• Controlled office with shop visits as needed (PPE provided)

• Use of CAD platforms, Microsoft Office, and internal estimating tools

• Collaborates cross-functionally and communicates across all levels

• Occasionally travels within Alberta (project and client dependent)
