Building on our past. Ready for the future
Worley is a global professional services company of energy, chemicals and resources experts. We partner with customers to deliver projects and create value over the life of their assets. We’re bridging two worlds, moving towards more sustainable energy sources, while helping to provide the energy, chemicals and resources needed now.
Worley Canada Construction is a leader in industrial construction across Alberta and western Canada. Our employees build exciting careers in fabrication, modularization, field installation, and professional support services for some of the world’s most challenging energy, infrastructure, and industrial projects.
Worley Canada Construction is currently seeking Material Planners to support project execution by ensuring materials are defined, structured, and prepared within the materials management system in advance of construction activities. The Material Planner is responsible for the upstream planning and system setup of materials data to ensure construction readiness. This role is accountable for establishing accurate material requirements, structuring material data within the materials management system (SiteSense), and ensuring alignment between engineering deliverables, procurement data, and construction needs. The Material Planner enables effective field execution by ensuring materials are visible, traceable, and properly configured in the system prior to receipt and use on site.
Work Conditions
This role may be Site-based or Home-Office based, project dependent
Supports project sites across British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan
Shift / Schedule dependant on project assignment
Living Out Allowance, travel, or camp may be applicable, dependant on project assignment
Where home office based, occasional travel to fabrication yards or project sites may be required
Reporting & Interfaces
Key Accountability Areas
Material Planning & Data Preparation
Develop and validate material requirements based on engineering deliverables (e.g., MTOs, drawings, specifications)
Structure material data for system loading, including tagging, breakdown, and hierarchy (e.g., FIWP alignment, piece marks, tag-level detail)
Ensure material data is complete, accurate, and consistent prior to system entry
Define and maintain material identification structures to support tracking, traceability, and reporting
System Setup & Integrity (SiteSense)
Lead the setup of materials within the materials management system to support construction tracking and reporting
Ensure materials are properly configured to enable receiving, issuing, and reporting workflows
Validate that system structure aligns with construction execution logic (e.g., FIWP-level visibility, work package alignment)
Maintain data quality standards and governance across material records
Integration with Engineering & Procurement
Interface with engineering teams to ensure material take-offs are accurate, structured, and usable for downstream execution
Support procurement by aligning material data with purchase orders, vendor documentation, and delivery expectations
Identify and resolve gaps between engineering outputs, procurement data, and system requirements
Ensure subcontractor-supplied materials are incorporated into the materials system in advance of delivery
Construction Readiness (Forward-looking)
Analyze material availability against construction schedules and workface planning requirements
Identify upcoming material constraints, data gaps, or risks prior to impacting field execution
Support readiness reporting by ensuring materials are visible and aligned to construction priorities ahead of time
Coordinate with Material Controllers and Construction teams to ensure smooth handoff from planning to execution
Data Governance & Continuous Improvement
Establish and maintain standards for material data structure, naming conventions, and system setup
Identify recurring issues in engineering, procurement, or data setup processes and recommend improvements
Support the development of procedures, templates, and best practices for material planning and system configuration
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives related to materials management systems and processes
This role is:
Accountable for the accuracy, completeness, and structure of material data prior to field execution
Responsible for ensuring materials are properly set up in the system to enable receiving, tracking, and reporting
A key enabler of construction readiness through proactive planning and data alignment
Forward-looking, identifying risks and constraints before they impact site operations
A technical role bridging engineering, procurement, and field execution
This role is not:
A field-based material execution or coordination role
Responsible for physically receiving, handling, or issuing materials
Accountable for system transaction execution (receipts, issues, transfers)
Responsible for resolving field-level material discrepancies (OS&D/UOSD)
Responsible for procurement decisions or vendor management
Success looks like:
Complete and accurate material data available in the system prior to delivery to site
Clear alignment between engineering outputs, procurement data, and construction requirements
Materials fully visible and correctly structured within SiteSense to support reporting and execution
Early identification and mitigation of material risks or constraints
Seamless transition of materials from planning to field execution without rework or delays
Qualifications
Experience
Completion of post-secondary education or a recognized technical or trades certification
Minimum of 7+ years’ experience in industrial construction, with strong exposure to materials management, planning, or engineering interfaces
Demonstrated experience working with material take-offs (MTOs), drawings, and technical specifications
Strong understanding of industrial materials (pipe, valves, fittings, instrumentation, structural steel, equipment, electrical components)
Experience with materials management systems (e.g., SiteSense, AVEVA ERM, SAP, JD Edwards), with focus on data setup and structure
Experience supporting fabrication, modularization, or field execution environments (asset)
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with data tools, reporting, or Power Apps (Power Query, Power BI) is an asset
Key Attributes
Analytical Thinking – Interprets engineering and procurement data to develop structured material solutions
Ownership – Takes accountability for data accuracy and readiness
