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 role is design-focused. We are looking for candidates who have contributed directly to in-house engineering design deliverables, not strictly coordination or administrative project support.

The successful candidate will support pipeline systems, piping design, and mechanical equipment across upstream, midstream, and facility projects within a multidisciplinary EPCM environment.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical & Pipeline Design

• Support the design of pipeline and facility mechanical systems
• Develop and interpret P&IDs, plot plans, and 3D layouts
• Assist with piping and pipeline routing, material selection, and pressure system design
• Perform basic engineering calculations (e.g., line sizing, pressure drop, material selection)
• Support the specification and selection of:
  • Pumps, compressors, and vessels
  • Heat exchangers
  • Valves and piping systems

Engineering Deliverables

• Prepare and maintain:
  • Equipment datasheets and specifications
  • Line lists, valve lists, and MTOs/BOMs
• Support development of engineering drawings and design packages
• Participate in:
  • Design reviews and HAZOPs
  • Interdisciplinary coordination (process, civil, electrical)

Procurement Support

• Assist with preparation of:
  • Material Requisitions (MRs)
  • Scopes of Work (SOWs)
• Support:
  • RFQ/RFP processes
  • Technical Bid Evaluations (TBEs)
• Review vendor documentation and drawings for compliance

Project Execution & Field Support

• Provide engineering support during:
  • Construction and installation
  • Commissioning and start-up
• Assist with field walkdowns, redlines, and as-built updates
• Support design issue resolution and change management

Qualifications

Experience

• 2+ years of mechanical engineering experience in oil & gas
• Experience supporting pipeline and/or facility design (required)
• Experience within EPC/EPCM or owner/operator environments preferred
• Exposure to brownfield or greenfield projects is an asset

Technical Knowledge

• Working knowledge of:
  • Pipeline and piping systems design
  • Mechanical equipment used in oil & gas facilities
• Familiarity with industry codes and standards:
  • CSA Z662
  • ASME B31.3 / B31.1
  • ASME B16 standards
  • Applicable API standards
• Ability to read and interpret:
  • P&IDs
  • Isometrics
  • Equipment and piping specifications

Software

• Experience with:
  • AutoCAD, Plant 3D, SolidWorks, or similar
  • Navisworks or other 3D coordination tools
  • Microsoft Excel, Word, Bluebeam

Education & Designation

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Registered as an Engineer in Training (EIT)

Core Competencies

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to engineering quality
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, design-focused EPCM environment
• Effective communicator with internal teams and external vendors
• Proactive, accountable, and motivated to build technical expertise

Why Lauren

• Exposure to full lifecycle EPCM projects (concept to commissioning)
• Direct involvement in pipeline and facility design work
• Collaborative environment with opportunity for technical growth
