The OpportunityThe Mainline Operations Engineering team is seeking a Compression Operations Engineer to provide engineering support to enable the safe and reliable operation of natural gas compressor station facilities.
The Engineer will be assigned a defined geographic area and will support compressor station assets within that area, as well as contribute to systemwide operational initiatives. This role offers the opportunity to work within a high performing, multidisciplinary team and to collaborate closely with experienced engineers, field specialists, and commercial operations personnel.
This position provides a unique opportunity for hands-on field engagement, supporting day-to-day compressor station operations while developing a strong foundation in safety, operational excellence, and technical execution. The experience is designed to support the growth of well-rounded engineers who bring practical insight, sound technical fundamentals, and a strong commitment to safe and reliable operations.
What you'll do- Perform data gathering and engineering analyses to support issue resolution, facility health assessments, root cause investigations, and risk assessments, with appropriate technical oversight as required.
- Provide field-based operational troubleshooting support for new and ongoing issues, including site visits and collaboration with senior reliability specialists and engineers.
- Analyze operational and engineering data to identify underperforming assets, systemic issues, and opportunities to improve equipment reliability and maintenance practices.
- Facilitate operational decision-making risk assessments for compression facilities.
- Support the development and execution of treatment plans focused on reducing asset-level and system-wide risk.
- Conduct alternatives analysis and provide technical scoping recommendations, along with operational support for capital and expense projects, to ensure risks and proposed solutions within annual programs are effectively mitigated.
- Drive Management of Change (MOC) development and implementation, including contributing to engineering design activities under appropriate technical oversight.
- Assist in the development, review, and updating of TC Energy maintenance and operating procedures.
Minimum Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, or Civil Engineering from an accredited institution.
- Registered, or eligible to register, with APEGA as an Engineer-in-Training (E.I.T.) in good standing
- 1 - 3 years of progressive relevant engineering experience.
Preferred Qualifications- Broad engineering expertise.
- Strong troubleshooting skills, including familiarity with natural gas transmission and compression facilities.
- Experience with failure investigations, root cause determination and interpretation of damage mechanisms.
- Familiarity with industry norms and standards related to equipment reliability, safety, and risk management.
- Previous experience supporting or developing maintenance processes and systems.
- Strong time-management skills with the ability to work independently and manage competing priorities.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams and with external partners.
- Demonstrated ability to initiate change and support others in adapting to a dynamic and evolving work environment.
- Proven capability to develop and implement technical solutions to complex and ambiguous problems.
- Experience applying engineering principles, codes, and standards to identify issues and recommend effective improvements.
This position requires candidates to:
- Have and maintain a valid driver's license and provide a driver's abstract (record) for review
- Stay away from home overnight which will include staying in hotels or equivalent (~30% of the time)
