Student, Engineering – Hybrid

The Opportunity

The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) is recruiting a Summer Student to join our talented Regulatory Applications team. As a Student, Engineering, you will gain technical exposure to aspects of reservoir engineering and factors that contribute to successful carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS).

This role supports projects analyzing reservoir and well design strategies in saline aquifers and depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Responsibilities include maintaining the team’s SharePoint site, developing dashboards, analyzing reservoir behavior, performing material balance and pressure transient analyses, and assisting in modeling. You will work with tools such as Power BI, S&P Global WellTest, Kappa Saphir, Rubis, CMG GEM, Schlumberger Eclipse, and Intersect to interpret data, simulate reservoir behavior, and support management decisions.

Working with the Principal Engineer, you will gain hands-on oil and gas experience while contributing to the safe and efficient development of Alberta’s energy resources, with mentorship, skill development, and the opportunity to make an impact.

What your day-to-day will look like:

- Maintain the SharePoint site for CCUS applications and assist in extracting data from legacy projects in saline aquifers and depleted oil and gas reservoirs.

- Analyze high-frequency, high-resolution shut-in data from well tests and interpret pressure responses using tools like S&P Global WellTest and Kappa Saphir.

- Generate diagnostic plots and support analytical and numerical reservoir modeling to understand reservoir geometry and behavior.

- Learn and utilize software such as Power BI, Rubis, CMG GEM, Schlumberger Eclipse, and Intersect for building models, running simulations, and analyzing results.

- Collaborate with team members to understand project requirements and contribute to ongoing reservoir engineering projects.

- Document processes, findings, and results from data analysis and simulations.

- Participate in training sessions and workshops to develop proficiency in industry-standard reservoir engineering software and principles.

What we’re looking for in you:

- Currently enrolled in the second year or third year of a Bachelor’s program in Engineering, or a related field.

- Strong data analytics and programming skills; experience with Python or similar preferred.

- Knowledge of machine learning and data visualization tools such as Power BI, Spotfire, or Tableau preferred.

- Familiarity with dashboard development, pressure transient analysis, and reservoir simulation tools is an asset.

- Experience handling large datasets and using data manipulation tools is an asset.

Additional Information:

- Proof of enrollment in a registered post-secondary institution including enrollment in the semester following the work term, or enrollment in a registered co-op program will be a condition of hire.

- Please include a cover letter / portfolio as part of your application.

- All applicants must be legally entitled to work in Canada at the time of application.

- Should an individual with the required qualifications not be available, applicants with closely related qualifications may be considered. As a result, the position may be redesigned and/or reclassified.

- If you need accommodation during any stage of the recruitment process, please email
