Position Summary

Lauren is seeking a Mechanical Engineer in Training (EIT) with 2+ years of hands-on design engineering experience supporting pipeline and/or oil & gas facility projects.

This is a technical, design-focused role suited for candidates who have contributed directly to engineering deliverables, not solely coordination or administrative project support.

Candidates must demonstrate hands-on involvement in engineering design deliverables (e.g., P&IDs, line lists, equipment datasheets, MTOs), not strictly project coordination, construction oversight, or administrative roles.

The successful candidate will support pipeline systems, piping design, and mechanical equipment across upstream and midstream facilities, working within a multidisciplinary EPCM environment across both large capital projects and smaller, fast-paced scopes.
