About The Position

TC Energy is seeking an early-career Reservoir Engineer to support the integrity, performance, and capacity of company-operated underground natural gas storage assets. As part of Gas Storage Reservoir Engineering & Geosciences, the role works with experienced reservoir engineers and geoscientists to analyze reservoir and well performance, support integrity programs, and contribute to technical studies that help ensure safe, reliable, and efficient storage operations.

This developmental role provides exposure to gas storage reservoir engineering, inventory verification, well surveillance, deliverability analysis, integrity management, field operations, commercial operations, and regulatory requirements. It emphasizes engineering fundamentals, analytical problem solving, collaboration, continuous learning, and increasing responsibility as technical knowledge and experience develop.

The role collaborates with Reservoir Engineering, Geosciences, Field Operations, Commercial Operations, Integrity, and Well Engineering & Technology personnel. It includes field visits and travel to field locations, company offices, meetings, training, and temporary assignments, with occasional overnight stays. TC Energy offers a hybrid work model and flexible dress code for eligible office-based employees in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the country where the position is based without restrictions. Background screening is required and may include criminal and/or credit checks.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Petroleum, Chemical, Geological, Mechanical, or a related engineering discipline.
• Typically two or more years of relevant engineering experience.
• Ability to apply engineering fundamentals, analyze technical data, document assumptions, and solve problems in a structured manner.
• Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and work under appropriate technical guidance.
• Ability to manage multiple assignments, meet commitments, and adapt to changing priorities.
• Valid driver's license and safe driving record.
• Ability to work extended hours or days when business or operational needs require.
• Ability to travel to field locations, company offices, meetings, training, and temporary assignments, including occasional overnight stays.
• Legal authorization to work in the country where the position is based, without restrictions.

Nice To Haves

• Experience or internship exposure in natural gas storage, reservoir engineering, production engineering, subsurface operations, well operations, or a related area.
• Familiarity with well testing, pressure transient analysis, deliverability analysis, material balance, volumetrics, or reservoir performance evaluation.
• Exposure to integrity management programs, risk assessment processes, compliance activities, or auditable engineering documentation.
• Experience with engineering databases, analytics, reporting tools, or digital data-management systems.

Responsibilities

• Support reservoir performance monitoring and analysis for assigned storage fields under the guidance of experienced engineers.
• Assist with planning and interpreting shut-in tests, flow tests, pressure surveys, pressure transient tests, deliverability tests, fluid sampling, and other surveillance activities.
• Contribute to stored gas inventory verification, pressure-volume and back-pressure relationship analysis, material balance or volumetric evaluations, and deliverability assessments.
• Support capacity and deliverability forecasts and technical analyses used to inform seasonal operating plans.
• Maintain clear calculations, supporting data, assumptions, and technical documentation for assigned engineering work.
• Support development and maintenance of reservoir and well Risk Management Plans (RMPs).
• Assist with review and analysis of casing, cement, completion, pressure, and other well integrity information.
• Participate in reservoir and well integrity assessments and help evaluate potential mitigations, including workovers, stimulation, monitoring, or operating-envelope changes.
• Contribute technical analysis and documentation supporting safe and reliable operation of storage assets.
• Apply established RE&G standards, procedures, and engineering practices to assigned work.
• Support preparation and maintenance of engineering reports, calculations, technical records, and integrity documentation.
• Assist with regulatory reviews, audits, and assessments by gathering, validating, organizing, and explaining assigned technical information.
• Complete accurate, traceable, reviewable work products consistent with record-retention requirements.
• Develop familiarity with applicable gas storage regulations, integrity programs, and internal requirements.
• Collaborate with Reservoir Engineering, Geosciences, Field Operations, Commercial Operations, Integrity, and Well Engineering & Technology personnel on technical activities and projects.
• Support planning and post-job evaluation for well testing, workovers, stimulations, plug and abandonment activities, and other field work.
• Provide assigned analyses and observations for technical reviews and project discussions, with recommendations reviewed by experienced engineers.
• Participate in field visits and project teams to build understanding of storage assets, well operations, and business needs.
• Use engineering and data-management systems to support analysis, reporting, and record-retention activities.
• Assist with maintaining data quality in systems such as Peloton WellView, RigView, and the Storage Data Centre.
• Support development of reports, visualizations, and analytical tools used to assess reservoir performance and integrity.
• Identify and communicate opportunities to improve data quality, engineering workflows, and reporting processes.
• Develop technical expertise through project assignments, mentorship, training, peer review, and field exposure.
• Seek guidance and incorporate feedback from experienced engineers and geoscientists.
• Progressively handle assignments of greater technical complexity and independence as capability develops.
• Contribute to a collaborative team environment through knowledge sharing, curiosity, and continuous learning.
