- Lead front-end investigation, scoping and design basis for projects that bridge field instrumentation, automation systems and data platforms (e.g., pipeline leak detection, rotating equipment monitoring, instrumentation diagnostics, erosion monitoring, power meter data integration, field SCADA integration).
- Design the integration of sensors, field controllers and monitoring technologies into DCS/PLC/SCADA and OT-IT data systems, defining I/O, controller, control network, HMI, historian and data flow requirements.
- Produce and approve engineering work packages (control narratives, I/O lists, network/architecture diagrams, wiring schematics, device data sheets) per CEC, IEEE, API, CSA, ISA-95, ISA-99/IEC 62443 and ISA 18.2.
- Coordinate with OT, OPE, IT, Operations, Maintenance and vendors to align technology selection, cyber security and infrastructure ownership.
- Own project control deliverables (scoping documents, decision records, cost estimates, schedules, forecasts, risk, reporting); manage third-party resources and procurement; support site construction and commissioning.
- Submit EIs/MOCs, facilitate MOC and PHA, and take MOCs from initiation through close-out in line with COIMS (Cenovus Operations Integrity Management System ) and the PPMP.
- Develop standardized, repeatable designs and templates, and apply lessons learned to new integration projects.
Who you are:Our ideal candidate will have the following minimum requirements:
- Legally authorized to work in Canada.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering.
- Registered P.Eng with APEGA and/or APEGS.
- Minimum 12 years of experience in design, implementation, commissioning, and operation of SAGD assets.
- Extensive knowledge in facilities engineering, including turnaround, asset management, and hazard awareness, with expertise in industry codes and standards for Instrumentation, Process Controls, and Electrical (i.e. ISA, CSA, CEC, API).
- Proven experience in Process Control Systems (Automation/OT) integration, with strong knowledge of industry norms and standard processes for oil sands control systems.
