Predictive Insights Senior Technical Consultant

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 Energy Problem Solvers — passionate about transitioning North America to cleaner energy while meeting the energy demands of today and tomorrow. If that sounds like a challenge you want to help tackle, we want you to join our team! 

The Opportunity

Our Predictive Insights team is evolving to meet the needs of our growing business and we are expanding our technical capabilities to adapt to new and emerging technologies. Predictive Insights responsibilities are focused on predicting and preventing asset failures using technology such as the AVEVA PI system, AWS and appropriate machine learning applications.

This role is within the Asset Applications team – a small, highly capable team that sits within the business and partners closely with sister teams who perform real time monitoring of assets and the performance of said assets.

The Senior Technical Consultant will be responsible for taking a lead role in developing the team’s cloud strategy, designing new cloud-based solutions and supporting existing platforms built in AWS. As our business and the software landscape changes, we are challenged to do more with less and increasingly rely on cloud vendors’ offerings to fill specific needs. This position will play a key role in evaluating, configuring and integrating selected software.

In addition, this position will be engaged with supporting and developing more traditional custom enterprise software to support the ever-evolving Predictive Insights/TC Energy business needs.
