Senior Reservoir Engineer (CO2 Storage/CCS)

About Deep Sky Deep Sky is at the forefront of environmental innovation, specializing in Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies. We are dedicated to developing sustainable solutions for decarbonization and are currently expanding our team to include a skilled professional who will play a crucial role in our CO2 storage projects across Canada. Job Overview This is a senior individual-contributor role with a strong emphasis on hands-on reservoir modeling, subsurface risk assessment, and technical decision support. The role does not include people management responsibilities but carries significant influence over modeling approaches, storage performance assessments, and regulatory-facing technical work. This role is preferably hybrid and open to candidates located anywhere in Canada. Ideally, candidates would be based near one of our offices in Innisfail, Calgary, or Montreal; however, remote candidates will also be considered. Key Responsibilities • Lead the development of dynamic reservoir models in both saline aquifer and CO2 mineralization applications. This will include reviewing relevant academic studies and other publicly available information in order to refine model parameters and quantify uncertainty.   • Use advanced simulation software to optimize CO2 injection schemes and forecast expected CO2 plume behaviour.  • Contribute to the screening and selection of CO2 injection sites by analyzing available data and quantifying expected CO2 storage performance.  • Assess and quantify risks to long term CO2 containment, and develop monitoring programs and mitigation strategies.  • Contribute to regulatory applications for CO2 storage schemes.  • Prepare comprehensive reports and presentations summarizing reservoir modelling findings, ensuring all work is well documented for future reference and regulatory compliance.  • Stay up-to-date on the latest reservoir engineering practices and simulation tools, and contribute to the advancement of organizational reservoir engineering best practices.  • Coordinate with various subsurface team members including geologists, geophysicists, drilling/completions engineers, and MMV specialists to ensure successful implementation of CO2 storage projects. Qualifications • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. • Professional Engineer designation (P.Eng) with a Canadian engineering association. • 10+ years of engineering experience with noteworthy experience in a reservoir engineering role.  • Significant experience with at least one reservoir modeling software. Experience with advanced modeling (i.e. geomechanical, reactive-transport, etc.) would be considered an asset.  • Preference will be given to candidates experienced in injection operations and/or geological containment assurance (i.e. CCS, disposal schemes, geothermal, SAGD, etc.).  • An ability and willingness to learn new concepts and software tools. • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders. Why Join Deep Sky?  • Opportunity to be part of cutting-edge projects in the CDR and CCS space. • Collaborative work environment with a team of passionate and skilled professionals. • Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and career development opportunities. Deep Sky is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace.
