Mechanical Engineer in Training (EIT)
About The Position
Lauren provides full-service EPCM solutions across traditional oil & gas, energy transition, and industrial sectors. We support projects from concept through detailed engineering, construction, commissioning, and operations. Our success is built on long-term client relationships, technical excellence, and the delivery of high-quality work across a range of project sizes —from quick-turn brownfield scopes to large capital developments. Lauren is seeking a Mechanical Engineer in Training (EIT) with 2+ years of hands-on design engineering experience supporting pipeline and/or oil & gas facility projects. This is a technical, design-focused role suited for candidates who have contributed directly to engineering deliverables, not solely coordination or administrative project support. Candidates must demonstrate hands-on involvement in engineering design deliverables (e.g., P&IDs, line lists, equipment datasheets, MTOs), not strictly project coordination, construction oversight, or administrative roles. The successful candidate will support pipeline systems, piping design, and mechanical equipment across upstream and midstream facilities, working within a multidisciplinary EPCM environment across both large capital projects and smaller, fast-paced scopes.
