Senior Project Engineer in Mackenzie

We’re seeking an experienced Senior Project Engineer to coordinate and integrate engineering activities across capital projects, supporting safe, high-quality, and on-schedule execution across Canada. This role serves as the central coordination point between internal engineering teams, external consultants, equipment vendors, and project stakeholders — working across multiple projects concurrently to ensure engineering deliverables are aligned with project priorities, schedules, and execution needs. This is a project-facing, execution-focused role. It is not a discipline engineering position.

You’re accountable for ensuring engineering work moves efficiently through design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover. You’ve likely spent years in capital, industrial, or infrastructure project environments — coordinating across disciplines, managing competing priorities, and driving engineering deliverables to meet construction schedules. You understand what good engineering coordination looks like, and you know how to keep things moving in fast-paced, rapidly scaling environments.

As Senior Project Engineer, you will coordinate engineering activities across multiple capital projects, acting as the central integration point between engineering teams, procurement, construction, and operations. You’ll drive alignment of engineering deliverables to critical path and construction needs, manage interfaces between disciplines and vendors, and reduce delays caused by coordination gaps, unclear ownership, or late inputs. This is a coordination and execution role requiring strong organizational skills, cross-functional communication, and the ability to operate effectively in environments with ambiguity and evolving processes.

Qualifications and Experience

• Engineering degree or equivalent technical or project delivery experience
• Experience supporting engineering execution on capital, industrial, or infrastructure projects
• Strong understanding of engineering workflows, design processes, and construction interfaces
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholders and competing priorities
• Strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills
• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel regularly within Western Canada

Preferred Assets

• Experience working with shared engineering resources across multiple concurrent projects
• Experience in fast-paced or rapidly scaling project environments
• Data centre, HPC, or mission-critical infrastructure project experience
• PMP, P.Eng, or equivalent professional designation

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate engineering activities across multiple projects and teams to ensure alignment with project schedules and priorities
• Act as the central coordination point across a shared engineering pool supporting multiple concurrent projects
• Drive alignment of engineering deliverables to critical path and construction needs
• Manage interfaces between disciplines, consultants, vendors, and project teams
• Coordinate technical inputs, RFIs, vendor information, and engineering deliverables to ensure timely responses

Scheduling & Deliverable Management

• Track deliverables, technical decisions, and action items to maintain visibility and accountability
• Identify and resolve bottlenecks, delays, and coordination gaps impacting execution
• Reduce time engineers spend managing competing priorities through clear, project-aligned prioritization
• Support consistent application of engineering standards and execution practices
• Introduce practical, lightweight tools and processes to improve coordination and efficiency
• Support engineering integration across all project phases from design through commissioning and handover
• Work closely with Project Managers, Construction, Procurement, and Operations to align engineering outputs with execution needs

What Success Looks Like

• Engineering deliverables aligned with project schedules across multiple concurrent projects
• Ensure accurate labelling, test records, and as-built documentation
• Reduced delays caused by coordination gaps, unclear ownership, or late inputs
• Improved visibility into engineering progress, risks, and dependencies
• Reduced rework through effective interface and issue management
• Engineers focused on deliverables rather than managing competing priorities
• Practical systems in place that improve execution without adding bureaucracy

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to play a critical role in delivering some of Canada’s most advanced data centre and high-performance computing infrastructure projects — working alongside experienced engineering, construction, and project management teams. You’ll take on a high-impact coordination role with real accountability, gain exposure to hyperscale environments and help build the execution systems that allow IREN to scale its capital project portfolio efficiently. For engineers and project professionals looking to move beyond single-project roles, this position offers a direct path into multi-project capital delivery leadership in a fast-growing, purpose-driven company.
