Description

Based in the Calgary Downtown Office, the Sr. Engineer, Hydraulics reports to the Manager, Systems Planning & Reliability. As a key member of a high-performing team, this role leads steady-state and transient hydraulic modelling activities that support pipeline development, facility design, operations, and system optimization across the business.    The Sr. Engineer, Hydraulics tackles complex hydraulic challenges and provides practical recommendations related to system capacity, operating limits, pump selection, control setpoints, and overall system performance. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams from early-stage development studies through detailed transient analysis and optimization initiatives, this role contributes to critical business decisions while mentoring developing engineers and advancing the team's hydraulic modelling capabilities.    This is an exciting opportunity to help foster a collaborative, growth-oriented culture and make a meaningful impact on Inter Pipelines long-term success. Key Activities and Responsibilities

•    Provide senior-level technical expertise in liquid pipeline hydraulics, including steady-state and transient analysis, pump and pipeline design, and operational support. •    Conduct hydraulic assessments for pipeline expansions, new facilities, and system modifications, including pipeline sizing, pump station siting, preliminary pump selection, and evaluation of operating configurations. •    Work with Commercial, Project Development, and Project teams to develop and compare early-stage design options, applying practical assumptions and fit-for-purpose analysis as requirements evolve. •    Develop, maintain, benchmark, and validate hydraulic models using operational SCADA data and considering operating practices, volume requirements, fluid properties, and temperature effects. •    Perform transient and surge assessments and develop overpressure protection strategies, including surge relief, high-pressure shutdowns, valve closure times, and control system logic. •    Develop and maintain pressure restrictions and pump station shutdown setpoints, including their technical basis and supporting documentation, in coordination with Pipeline Integrity, Operations Engineering, the Control Centre, and Field Operations. •    Troubleshoot hydraulic performance and control issues affecting pump stations, terminals, and pipeline operations. •    Provide technical expertise related to Drag Reducing Agents, including hydraulic performance, injection requirements, control considerations, and impacts on pipeline capacity. •    Review hydraulic work completed by internal team members and consultants, and authenticate engineering work within the individual’s area of competency. •    Mentor developing engineers and contribute to improvements in hydraulic models, tools, standards, workflows, and documentation practices. Education, Skills and Experience

•    Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, preferably Chemical, Mechanical, or Process Engineering. •    Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) registered, or eligible for registration, with APEGA. •    Minimum 8 years of relevant pipeline engineering experience, including
