Company Overview

Our client is a full-service EPCM firm supporting small to mid-sized energy, oil and gas, and industrial projects. The company is built around a lean, experienced, multidisciplinary team that delivers practical, cost-effective engineering and project solutions across projects ranging from early-stage studies to detailed design, execution, start-up, and commissioning support.

Job Overview

The Senior Process Engineering Manager will lead the Process Engineering discipline for small to medium-sized EPCM projects in the energy and oil and gas sector.

This role is suited to a senior process engineering professional who can balance technical leadership, project scope, schedule, quality, client expectations, and team management. The successful candidate will provide hands-on technical oversight while also leading employees, contractors, and multidisciplinary project collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the Process Engineering discipline across EPCM projects.
• Serve as the primary contact for process engineering matters with project managers, clients, and other engineering disciplines.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, work plans, and discipline deliverables.
• Ensure process engineering deliverables are completed on time, within scope, and aligned with applicable codes and standards.
• Lead, develop, and optimize process design from project inception through design completion, start-up, and commissioning support.
• Support feasibility, conceptual design, pre-FEED, debottlenecking, and cost estimate development.
• Develop and review Process Design Criteria, PFDs, P&IDs, process simulations, calculations, heat and mass balances, process narratives, control narratives, and shutdown keys.
• Participate in HAZIDs, HAZOPs, LOPAs, and other safety reviews.
• Provide process engineering input into DBMs, cost estimates, schedules, engineered drawings, equipment sizing, specifications, datasheets, RFQs, EWPs, bid evaluations, and award recommendations.
• Work closely with clients, project managers, account managers, and internal teams to understand requirements, resolve technical issues, and support project delivery.
• Prepare technical proposals, reports, and documentation.
• Lead technical mentoring, team development, performance input, and support for employees and contractors.
• Oversee quality control within the Process Engineering department.
• Ensure deliverables meet technical, safety, regulatory, QA/QC, and client requirements.

Core Competencies

• Strong knowledge of conventional oil and gas processing, SAGD well pads, central processing facilities, thermal projects, heavy oil pipelines, and related infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of process engineering codes, standards, engineering practices, and regulatory requirements.
• Experience with process calculations, simulations, and process engineering tools such as HYSYS, Symmetry, or similar software.
• Ability to lead multidisciplinary project work in a fast-paced EPCM environment.
• Strong client-facing communication skills and sound technical judgement.
• Experience supporting safety reviews such as HAZOPs, HAZIDs, and LOPAs.
• Strong organizational, forecasting, prioritization, and team leadership skills.
• Ability to work independently while coordinating effectively with project teams and senior leadership.
• Strong QA/QC discipline with the ability to review, check, and sign off on engineering work.
• Proficiency with standard EPCM engineering workflows, documentation, and project delivery systems.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Registered as a P.Eng. or P.L.Eng. in good standing with APEGA.
• Senior-level process engineering experience within EPCM, energy, oil and gas, SAGD, thermal, heavy oil, or related industrial projects.
• Experience leading engineers, designers, contractors, or discipline teams is strongly preferred.

Salary

$200,000 to $250,000 CAD .
