At Enbridge, you can count on being involved in engineering projects that excite you, and ones that will consistently enhance and encourage your career growth.

We are currently looking for a Sr Engineer, Capacity Planning to join our team! The successful candidate will be responsible for calculating daily natural gas operational capacities for all locations on Enbridge’s US Transmission assets, planning outage timing to minimize impact to customers, determining optimal pipeline configurations to improve efficiency while balancing operability, evaluation near-term proposals, forecasting demand, and communication this information to the public and internal stakeholders.  If this sounds like something you want to be involved in, then apply now!

What You Will Do:

Apply hydraulic simulation models and engineering calculation tools to determine natural gas pipeline capacities for all US pipeline systems.

Evaluate numerous parameters to resolve optimal ways of flowing gas to support planned & unplanned outages.

Forecast and post system capacities using hydraulic models at least one month in advance and re-evaluate capacities as outage plans change. Make suggestions to re-schedule overlapping outages to minimize customer impact.

Post system capacities internally and externally, for each location, for every day. Monitor outage plans to ensure that the corresponding capacities are correctly posted.

Communicate model results to collaborators. Create, write, and present summary reports, which contain pipeline data and modeling results, in a clear & concise way such that other teams can easily understand study results and make appropriate decisions.

Reduce outage impacts (planned, unplanned).

Optimize the system for capacity, operability, reliability, and efficiency.

Make compressor bundle recommendations.

Develop, implement, manage, and monitor asset optimization plans.

Provide direction to Gas Control and Operations to optimize compressor fuel and electricity usage.

Provide instructions to Gas Control regarding unit selection, regulator setpoints, flow patterns, and line bypassing.

Ensure that posted capacities can be achieved while maintaining safe gas velocities.

Assist in the ongoing development and maintenance of key GTM information systems.

Assist/support discretionary capital project development/implementation.

Help design/budget/coordinate/execute storage expansion projects, including de-bottlenecking and optimization studies for operational enhancements and flexibility.

Support planning for new facilities or facility upgrades. Evaluate proposed pipeline & prime mover configurations to ensure operability, efficiency, and capacity needs are achieved.

Collect & analyze pipeline data to ensure model accuracy and to provide operational & planning direction. Work closely with other groups to ensure data accuracy.

Maintains and monitors system fuel usage, pipeline linepack, and electricity usage data.
