Paramount has sanctioned development of its Montney natural gas play at Sinclair. The play is a high-rate, low-cost natural gas project in the Grande Prairie area. The first phase of development is designed for 50,000 boe/d, with construction beginning in 2026 and firm sales egress commencing in Q4 2027. This project represents a multi-decade cornerstone for the company.
We are seeking four highly skilled and experienced Control Room Operators to oversee the daily operations of the Sinclair Gas Plant. This is a high-impact, hands-on role that begins with a focused operational readiness phase based out of the Grande Prairie office, transitioning full-time to the Sinclair Gas Plant control room in Q2 2027. Reporting to the Plant Foreman, the ideal candidate will play a key role in planning, design reviews, commissioning, start-up, and operation of the facility. You will be responsible for managing real-time process controls, troubleshooting, and optimizing plant systems from the board, and serving as the primary communications point for operators.
