Help Shape the Future of Energy Infrastructure at Pembina!
Pembina is looking for a strategic, enterprise-minded leader to join our Calgary office as Director, Project Regulatory, Land & Damage Prevention. This is a high-impact leadership role at the intersection of project development, regulatory strategy, land access, stakeholder engagement, and operational risk management.
Reporting to the Vice President, External Affairs, the Director will lead an integrated team responsible for advancing regulatory, land, and damage prevention strategies that enable the safe, compliant, and timely delivery of major projects and support Pembina’s operations across the organization. This role combines people leadership, enterprise influence, and external credibility—and offers the opportunity to help shape how Pembina delivers infrastructure in an increasingly complex regulatory and stakeholder environment.
For the right candidate, this is more than a functional leadership role. It is an opportunity to influence key business outcomes, strengthen organizational capability, and help position Pembina for long-term growth through disciplined execution, trusted relationships, and forward-looking strategy.
At Pembina, the External Affairs Service Unit brings together Land, Communications, Indigenous Engagement, Environment, Regulatory, Community Investment, and Government Relations to mobilize support for projects and operations while ensuring appropriate governance and controls are in place. This integrated model gives the Director a unique opportunity to work across functions, influence enterprise decisions, and help align regulatory, land, and stakeholder strategies with broader business priorities.
This role is ideal for a senior leader who is energized by complexity, motivated by impact, and ready to build on a strong foundation to modernize systems, elevate performance, and guide teams through growth. It offers meaningful visibility across the business, significant leadership scope, and the ability to shape outcomes on critical capital and operational initiatives.
