The Opportunity
Are you ready to apply your technical and regulatory expertise to ensure responsible energy development in Alberta? As a Technical Coordinator, you will play a pivotal part in managing well operations and regulatory application processes, overseeing the flow of applications, submissions, inquiries, approvals, and records across Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) systems. You will coordinate and support technical regulatory decision-making rather than performing detailed engineering analysis, and build strong cross-functional relationships, influencing process improvements that shape how the AER delivers services to industry.
By joining the Well Integrity team, you will contribute to operational excellence and help shape outcomes that impact all Albertans. The position is more than just coordination— it offers a unique vantage point across the full well lifecycle, providing exposure to a wide range of technical and regulatory scenarios. You will work within a collaborative, purpose-driven team that values integrity, technical excellence, and continuous improvement. The AER offers meaningful work, a strong culture of knowledge-sharing, opportunities for professional development in the technical and regulatory domain, and a commitment to work-life balance.
What your day-to-day will look like:
Triage and prioritize review of regulatory submissions (e.g., well operations variance requests) to facilitate efficient progress through the review process enabling timely decisions. Collaborate with technical subject matter experts to assess compliance with regulatory requirements and support compliance management processes.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to manage inquiries, approvals, and related records across multiple AER systems, to ensure timely regulatory processing, service standards, and data integrity.
Clearly communicate requirements and regulatory expectations to internal stakeholders and industry applicants, while facilitating issues resolution related to regulatory systems.
Identify and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to enhance regulatory processes, technology, and efficiency.
Maintain accurate documentation and ensure regulatory decisions are traceable and defensible.
What we’re looking for in you:
Technical Diploma in environment, oil & gas or equivalent.
2-3 years of progressive experience in a regulatory, government, or energy industry environment.
Knowledge of well operations and lifecycle stages (drilling, completions, suspension, integrity management, abandonment).
Knowledge of AER Acts, Rules, and Directives pertaining to well operations.
Strong organizational skills with ability to multitask and prioritize competing priorities.
Experience working with AER systems such as OneStop, Integrated Application Registry and Digital Data Submission system.
Maintained up-to-date knowledge of regulatory requirements, business operations and organizational priorities.
Ability to work both independently as well as collaboratively in a team environment.
