Job description

Intermediate Project Engineer - Oil & Gas (Upstream / Midstream)

CANUSA EPC

We’re not your average EPC firm and this isn’t your average engineering role.

At CANUSA EPC, you’ll step into a hands-on Project Engineer role where your work actually moves projects forward in the field, in design reviews, and with clients. You won’t just support projects you’ll help lead them.

What your day actually looks like:

You’ll be involved from early feasibility through detailed design, vendor coordination, and field execution. One day you’re reviewing P&IDs or piping specs, the next you’re on a site walk-down or talking directly with a client to solve real-world problems.

This role is ideal for someone who’s ready to take ownership, work independently, and still have strong senior engineering support behind them.

You’ll also act as a client-facing representative of CANUSA EPC so communication, confidence, and professionalism matter just as much as technical skill.

What you’ll do:

• Lead portions of project design and engineering deliverables
• Develop and review P&IDs, piping specs, and mechanical systems
• Perform equipment sizing (pumps, compressors, rotating equipment)
• Review vendor documentation and track compliance with specs
• Support piping design reviews and constructability input
• Conduct field site visits and walk-downs across North America
• Interface directly with clients and operations teams
• Support junior engineers and contribute to team development
• Participate in project execution from design through startup

What you bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering
• 3+ years engineering experience (oil & gas preferred)
• 2+ years in upstream or midstream environments
• Strong understanding of ASME B31 piping codes
• Experience with P&IDs, piping design, and equipment sizing
• Familiarity with AutoCAD / CADWorx / Navisworks
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities
• EIT working toward P.Eng / PE preferred
• Willingness to travel to project sites across North America

What makes this role different:

• Real field exposure not just desk work
• Direct client interaction and ownership of deliverables
• Opportunity to grow into senior engineering leadership
• Exposure to full project lifecycle (design - construction - startup)
• Strong team culture with technical mentorship built in

Why CANUSA EPC:

We combine engineering excellence with a practical, field-driven mindset. Our teams work closely, move quickly, and take pride in delivering work that actually gets built and operates safely.

We offer:

• Modern office environment
• Growth opportunities
• Safe, field-aware culture
• Regular team social events
• Food provided in-office
• Travel opportunities across North America

Culture:

We believe great engineering comes from collaboration, accountability, and respect. We’re building a workplace where people are supported, challenged, and given room to grow.

CANUSA EPC is committed to diversity, inclusion, and creating a workplace where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Job Type: Full-time

Benefits:

• 401(k)
• Dental insurance
