About the Role:

We are seeking an experienced Hydraulic Modeling Engineer – Natural Gas Pipelines to join our dynamic team in Houston, TX. This position is a backfill role within a close-knit team of six professionals, responsible for the daily operational modeling of Enbridge’s gas transmission pipeline systems across the U.S. and Canada.

This is a hands-on operations role that involves close collaboration with multiple internal teams including Outages, Commercial Coordination, Scheduling, Gas Control, and Field Operations. The engineer will model the impact of both planned and unplanned outages, post daily system capacities, and support real-time decision-making across a vast pipeline network.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform daily hydraulic modeling of Enbridge’s gas pipeline systems throughout the U.S. and Canada.
• Analyze the impact of planned and unplanned outages on pipeline capacity and determine daily throughput capabilities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure accurate and timely communication of system capacities.
• Maintain and update models to reflect current system configurations and operating conditions.
• Accept and respond constructively to feedback to continuously improve modeling accuracy.
• Publish daily operational capacity data and support coordination of maintenance outages.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Petroleum, Electrical, or Civil Engineering.
• 7–10 years of experience in hydraulic modeling, specifically within the natural gas transmission industry.
• Proven experience modeling mainline gas compression systems, including gas compressors (particularly electrically driven).
• Proficiency in one or more of the following modeling tools: Flowdesk, NextGen, Winflow, or Synergy Gas.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with high attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills, with the ability to collaborate across multiple stakeholder groups.

Preferred Profile:

• Prior experience in utility operations involving large-scale, cross-country natural gas pipelines.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and handle evolving outage scenarios.
