About SWAT Projects

SWAT Projects is a Calgary-based engineering services firm specializing in capital projects, facility optimization, and brownfield projects.

By combining disciplined execution with a collaborative mindset, we help clients move projects from concept to completion with confidence, creating value that lasts well beyond the final handover.

The Role

As an Intermediate Project Engineer, you will play a central role in executing small-to-medium capital and brownfield projects.

• Develop engineering hour estimates and project framing documents.
• Manage engineering deliverables from scoping through execution.
• Coordinate and review multidisciplinary technical work in areas of confidence.

• Support junior engineers and designers through mentorship and guidance.
• Maintain alignment between scope, cost, schedule, and technical quality.
