About The Position

We’re seeking an experienced Senior Project Engineer to coordinate and integrate engineering activities across capital projects, supporting safe, high-quality, and on-schedule execution across Canada. This role serves as the central coordination point between internal engineering teams, external consultants, equipment vendors, and project stakeholders — working across multiple projects concurrently to ensure engineering deliverables are aligned with project priorities, schedules, and execution needs. This is a project-facing, execution-focused role. It is not a discipline engineering position. You’re accountable for ensuring engineering work moves efficiently through design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover. You’ve likely spent years in capital, industrial, or infrastructure project environments — coordinating across disciplines, managing competing priorities, and driving engineering deliverables to meet construction schedules. You understand what good engineering coordination looks like, and you know how to keep things moving in fast-paced, rapidly scaling environments. As Senior Project Engineer, you will coordinate engineering activities across multiple capital projects, acting as the central integration point between engineering teams, procurement, construction, and operations. You’ll drive alignment of engineering deliverables to critical path and construction needs, manage interfaces between disciplines and vendors, and reduce delays caused by coordination gaps, unclear ownership, or late inputs. This is a coordination and execution role requiring strong organizational skills, cross-functional communication, and the ability to operate effectively in environments with ambiguity and evolving processes.

Requirements

Engineering degree or equivalent technical or project delivery experience
Experience supporting engineering execution on capital, industrial, or infrastructure projects
Strong understanding of engineering workflows, design processes, and construction interfaces
Demonstrated ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholders and competing priorities
Strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills
Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel regularly within Western Canada

Nice To Haves

Experience working with shared engineering resources across multiple concurrent projects
Experience in fast-paced or rapidly scaling project environments
Data centre, HPC, or mission-critical infrastructure project experience
PMP, P.Eng, or equivalent professional designation

Responsibilities

Coordinate engineering activities across multiple projects and teams to ensure alignment with project schedules and priorities
Act as the central coordination point across a shared engineering pool supporting multiple concurrent projects
Drive alignment of engineering deliverables to critical path and construction needs
Manage interfaces between disciplines, consultants, vendors, and project teams
Coordinate technical inputs, RFIs, vendor information, and engineering deliverables to ensure timely responses
Track deliverables, technical decisions, and action items to maintain visibility and accountability
Identify and resolve bottlenecks, delays, and coordination gaps impacting execution
Reduce time engineers spend managing competing priorities through clear, project-aligned prioritization
Support consistent application of engineering standards and execution practices
Introduce practical, lightweight tools and processes to improve coordination and efficiency
Support engineering integration across all project phases from design through commissioning and handover
Work closely with Project Managers, Construction, Procurement, and Operations to align engineering outputs with execution needs
