The valued client, a large Oil & Gas company are seeking an experienced Hydraulic Engineer IV to join their busy Calgary team on a long-term contract basis.

About the role:

The primary focus of this position is to provide senior level direction and technical hydraulic engineering expertise to ensure a safe process hydraulic design for our Liquids Pipeline (LP) assets.
This includes performing and reviewing steady state and transient hydraulic analysis for new project proposals and in-flight projects from front end, detail engineering, construction and commissioning.

And providing hydraulic engineering support to the Canadian Praire and US Southwest Regions in the event of operational issues, troubleshooting, or optimization efforts.
 

Job accountabilities will include providing engineering recommendations to mitigate overpressure risk, and leading efforts to coordinate these changes for assets through the Project Gating Cycle or MOC process.

 

Specific Accountabilities:


· Conduct hydraulic studies using modelling software to analyze pipeline and facility systems for design and maintenance
issues, develop solutions, and issue formal technical recommendations.
· Provide senior engineering support by actively participating in hydraulics engineering activities related to operation and
help troubleshoot hydraulics problems within assigned asset areas.
· Identify and recommend enhancements to the engineering hydraulic standards and specifications.
· Review and provide broad technical direction in development of steady state & transient hydraulic analysis models and
technical reports. Conduct technical reviews, with a focus on hydraulics engineering, at various stages in project life cycle gating process.
· Execute and/or review feasibility studies, conceptual designs, process studies, and detail engineering designs to ensure designs comply with quality processes, standards, and industry regulations.
· Actively participate in continuous improvement initiatives with respect to hydraulic design and processes.
· Maintain and enhance knowledge level with current hydraulics engineering and pipeline design technologies.
· Maintain proficiency with the use of in-house and industry recognized hydraulics engineering tools.
· Represent the department on selected internal committees. Responsible for ensuring that effective and proactive
communication is maintained with all internal and external stakeholders. Initiate and lead meetings, correspondence,
and discussions with appropriate teams as required.
· Guide project teams to ensure competitive designs and operational reliability.
· Support the implementation and execution of technical recommendations.
· Liaise with multi-discipline teams to assist with company engineering initiatives.
· Actively participate in development of appropriate documentation outlining design parameters, assumptions, and results such that the project scope can be easily communicated to other relevant departments- This involves communicating with Project Teams, Operations, Project Development Engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure that technical results are clearly conveyed and understood.
· Actively participate in engineering activities to support Project Execution teams in order to ensure that project
requirements are met and exceeded where technically justified.
· Actively participate in scope development of pipeline and facility projects, and PHA reviews.
· Participate and lead Management of Change (MOCs) implementation as it relates to operational changes from
hydraulic studies.

 


Scope:

 

· Work on complex technical hydraulic issues to support the safe design and operation of LP assets.
· Provide specialized technical process hydraulic knowledge.
· Make decisions not usually subject to technical review, except those involving large sums of money or long-range
objectives. Participates in and provides support to design, operability, constructability, optimization.
· Provide leadership and people skills to support less experienced hydraulic engineers.
· Represent the department on selected internal technical reviews and participate in technical discussions to reduce
engineering and operating costs and ensure “fit for purpose” design of facilities.

 

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:


· Demonstrated senior level technical competence in hydraulic design and engineering within the oil & gas industry.
· 10-year minimum of progressively complex hydraulic engineering experience.
· Must be registered as a P.Eng. in the Province of Alberta (preference in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering).
· Detailed knowledge of hydraulic modelling software such as Synergie Pipeline Simulator (SPS) and AFT Fathom
· Working knowledge of liquid pipeline and facility operations.
· Hands-on experience with assessment methodologies such as PHA, HAZOP, or LOPA.
· Strong ability to leverage operating data to support effective decision making.
· Detailed knowledge of relevant codes, regulations, and standards.
· Effective two-way communication capability including excellent oral and written skills.
· Ability to effectively interact with peers, internal stakeholders, upper level management, vendors, and service providers.
· Be able to regularly shift between planned and unplanned activities, while remaining effective despite the resulting
disruptive effects.
· Substantial aptitude to manage multiple assignments while meeting established deadlines.
· Well-developed problem solving, decision-making, organization and planning skills.
· Committed to continuous technical learning and personal development of self and others.
· Ability to travel within Canada and United States.
