Systems Optimization Engineer

TC Energy is seeking a Systems Optimization Engineer to join the Canada Gas Control Systems Optimization team. This role focuses on improving operational decision-making across the Canada Gas footprint through analytics, digital enablement, applied systems thinking, and risk-informed optimization.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of operational optimization across TC Energy's Canada Gas business. You'll work at the intersection of pipeline system and compressor station operations, engineering, analytics, and technology, solving complex problems and delivering solutions that have a direct impact on how one of North America's largest natural gas systems operates.

Working closely with Gas Control, Commercial Operations, Automation, SCADA, Information Services, Engineering, and Field Operations, you will identify opportunities to improve system performance and reliability, develop and implement tools and analytical capabilities, and support the Optimization Console in making more informed and effective operational decisions to optimize our pipeline system. The role will also lead the identification, management, and mitigation of risks arising from optimization initiatives and operational assessments.

Within the first 12 to 18 months, the successful candidate will build strong partnerships across Gas Control, Commercial Operations, Automation, SCADA, Information Services, and Engineering while developing a strategic roadmap for Systems Optimization enablement. They will advance multiple optimization initiatives from assessment through pilot testing and implementation, delivering proof-of-concept solutions that provide measurable operational value and contribute to improvements in fuel consumption, compressor efficiency, throughput, operating cost avoidance, and decision consistency. Success will also be demonstrated through the implementation of a structured approach to managing optimization-related risks.

We're looking for candidates with a proven track record of developing analytics platforms, decision-support tools, and optimization models that have generated measurable business value and operational improvements. Experience leading cross-functional initiatives from concept through implementation, while building strong stakeholder alignment and driving enterprise-wide adoption, is highly valued.
