Project Manager, Facilities MOP

Trans Mountain Corporation operates Canada’s only pipeline system transporting oil products to the West Coast. We deliver approximately 890,000 barrels of petroleum products each day through a dual pipeline system of more than 1,150 kilometres of pipeline in Alberta, British Columbia and Washington state.

Trans Mountain also operates a state-of-the‑art loading facility, Westridge Marine Terminal, with three berths providing tidewater access to global markets.

As a federal Crown corporation, Trans Mountain continues to build on more than 70 years of experience delivering operational and safety excellence through our crude oil pipeline system.

With our expanded pipeline system now in place, Trans Mountain provides enhanced direct access for Canadian crude oil to world markets. The expansion realizes a world‑class system for oil transport, developed to Canada’s high standards within one of the most stringent regulatory regimes in the world, creating long‑term economic benefits, enhanced marine protection, enhanced safety and emergency management capabilities, and enhanced skilled‑worker capacity building in communities and Indigenous groups.
