About the Opportunity:

Shell Canada is seeking a Project Development Engineer to join their Shell Sarnia Refinery team.

The Project Development team provides the initial front-end development of improvement ideas and projects in support of the site’s capital investment plan, including asset integrity, regulatory, growth and energy efficiency projects. This role is essential to ensure quality front-end engineering work is completed that sets capital projects up for success by identifying innovative alternative solutions and scope development to minimize design rework later in the project. This position will challenge you to apply technical skills necessary to support project development with a range of process complexity, size, cost, and priority.

You will be given the opportunity to learn new skills and broaden your network while integrating with key stakeholders and Shell networks as Shell embarks through its Powering Progress journey. Joining the Project Development organization in Sarnia-Lambton will also present you with a chance to enjoy all that southern Ontario has to offer.

This may involve preparing process flow diagrams (PFDs), data sheets for significant equipment with required support data, investigating alternate solutions in later phases, identifying all existing equipment subject to re-sizing/size verification for new design conditions, identifying all existing piping systems requiring hydraulic calculations for confirmation of adequate sizing, marking up P&ID’s, ISO’s, or other field drawings to indicate proposed physical modifications and scope of work, and assuring concurrence is received from operating and support departments

• Integrate with the Project Engineering for the Select phase to ensure more detailed front-end engineering work is completed including change management, concept selection, risk management and issuance of a basis for design document

• Provide continued engineering support to the execution organizations (Projects and Maintenance) during the detailed engineering, procurement, and construction phases of the investment

• Responsible in project detailed engineering phase include participating in the preparation of documents for detailed engineering reviews of equipment data sheets, line and tie in point lists, and instrument and piping drawings
