About The Position

Determined, imaginative, curious—if these are some of the ways you describe yourself, we want to learn more about you! At TC Energy, we are proud to connect the world to the energy it needs. Guided by our values of safety in every step, personal accountability, one team and active learning, we deliver the critical energy that North America and the world rely on while balancing reliability, affordability and sustainability. The Opportunity TC Energy is seeking an experienced Integrity Threat Engineer with working knowledge of pipeline integrity, including US federal regulations, corrosion mechanisms, and cathodic protection, to support and optimize external and internal corrosion integrity programs across 31,000+ miles of natural gas transmission pipelines. In this role, you will partner closely with corrosion and integrity subject matter experts to develop and execute annual integrity threat programs, build and track key performance indicators (KPIs), and continuously improve processes and procedures. You'll evaluate inline inspection (ILI) and related integrity data to develop remediation strategies, oversee reliability-based assessments and dig/reassessment recommendations, and provide technical deliverables such as engineering assessments, technical memorandums, feasibility evaluations, and risk studies. Working cross-functionally with Project Management, Integrity Support, Gas Operations, Commercial, and Integrated Planning, you will help ensure integrity management activities are executed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with regulations, codes, standards, and industry best practices—supporting TC Energy's commitment to public safety and environmental protection. As a member of the US Corrosion Management team—a central hub across various TC Energy technical and operational functions—you'll bring strong communication and camaraderie skills, a drive for collaboration, and a keen interest in learning new technical subjects.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Corrosion, Chemical, or related discipline). Advanced degree preferred.
For Canadian candidates, registered as a P.Eng in the prevailing jurisdiction in good standing (e.g., APEGA in Alberta).
Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in pipeline integrity management, with a focus on external and internal corrosion risk assessment and mitigation.
Demonstrated knowledge in interpreting and applying US federal pipeline safety regulations (e.g., 49 CFR Parts 192 and 195).
Proficiency in analyzing and interpreting inline inspection data, or other integrity assessment techniques to drive effective remediation strategies.
Strong problem-solving, decision-making, and project management skills, with the ability to collaborate cross-functionally and communicate technical information to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
