Posting End Date:

Employee Type:

Bring complex work to life—earlier, safer, and smarter. The Senior Advisor Program Planning and Optimization is a senior execution enablement role for professionals who thrive at the intersection of planning and field delivery. You will play a meaningful role in accelerating a multi‑billion‑dollar brownfield pipeline and facilities portfolio by unlocking execution readiness, aligning diverse collaborators, and turning plans into projects that reach in‑service dates sooner.

This role exists to drive real outcomes—not reports—by identifying risks and opportunities early, optimizing sequencing and site layouts, and ensuring engineering, procurement, construction, operations, and investment decisions come together to enable safe, accelerated execution across multiple states and provinces.
