Associate (EP), Gas ENG Major Projects

Overview

The Associate for the Gas ENG Major Projects section is responsible for performing, or assisting in the performance of, all engineering required to support the Gas Transmission and Distribution system. The Associate performs technical assignments of basic complexity in engineering design and support. This engineering consists of supporting multiple phases of projects that increase the reliability and safety of the gas system. The Associate will be involved with the oversight of creating engineering drawings for projects. They will promote the continued improvement of work practices, administrative processes, and controls within Gas Transmission Engineering. The Associate will perform field inspections related to compliance and record gathering. The Associate will perform data analytics on a varied types of records for project.

The Associate may be assigned to work under the supervision of a Team Leader, such as an Engineer or a Senior Engineer.
