Determined, imaginative, curious—if these are some of the ways you describe yourself, we want to learn more about you!

At TC Energy, we are proud to connect the world to the energy it needs. Guided by our values of safety in every step, personal accountability, one team and active learning, we deliver the critical energy that North America and the world rely on while balancing reliability, affordability and sustainability.

The Opportunity

We have a unique opportunity for an experienced Lean / Kaizen / Six Sigma practitioner to join Damage Prevention (DP) in a process optimization role, embedded within DP and supporting ROW & Threat Management by extension.

This role is focused on bottom‑up process improvement—working directly with DP program and element owners to map current‑state execution, identify inefficiencies, redesign processes for lean execution, and clearly document how system components connect end‑to‑end. The role is intentionally bringing structured process methodologies to enable more efficient, scalable, and connected execution.

Reporting to the Damage Prevention Integration and Enablement manager, the successful candidate will partner closely with DP stakeholders to improve how work gets done—using Kaizen, Lean, and Six Sigma principles to design practical, fit‑for‑purpose processes that support the evolution of the Damage Prevention Program.
