Trans Mountain Canada Inc

Trans Mountain Canada Inc runs the kind of infrastructure that shows up in threat models by default: Canada's only pipeline system delivering crude oil and refined products to the West Coast, plus the Westridge Marine Terminal near Burnaby, British Columbia, which gives Canadian petroleum products tidewater access to global markets. The system spans more than 1,150 kilometres through Alberta, British Columbia, and Washington state and moves approximately 890,000 barrels of petroleum products per day. The company traces its history to 1951; the pipeline began operating in October 1953 at an initial capacity of 150,000 barrels per day.

The technical surface is broad and mostly physical. Domains in play include pipeline transportation, midstream energy infrastructure, crude oil and refined products logistics, marine terminal operations across three berths, pipeline integrity and safety, emergency preparedness, regulatory compliance, and marine protection. That mix means the work spans operational technology and corporate IT alike - SCADA-adjacent control environments along a cross-border right-of-way, terminal and marine operations, and the compliance and reporting obligations that come with federally regulated energy infrastructure. Trans Mountain operates as a Federal Crown corporation.

Operating constraints are explicit rather than aspirational: operational reliability and safety, emergency preparedness, regulatory compliance, marine protection, and collaboration with communities and Indigenous groups. For security practitioners, the stakes are the ones you would expect from critical midstream infrastructure - availability and integrity of control and logistics systems, physical-cyber convergence at terminal and pipeline assets, and defensible audit trails for regulators. Anyone joining should be comfortable with distributed, geographically dispersed assets and with environments where safety cases and compliance requirements shape what security work is allowed to touch.
