About Gastops: Moving You since 1979

Over the last 47 years, Gastops has built a robust business which is recognized worldwide for its innovative contributions to equipment health management in the aviation, energy, marine, industrial and transportation industries. Gastops’ products and services add value throughout the life cycle of complex critical equipment from the design stage through to in-service operations and support. We design, manufacture, and support advanced equipment sensing and analysis products, including on-line oil debris sensors, torque measurement sensors, turbine blade health sensors, and at-line oil analysis systems.

Based in Ottawa, Ontario, the Senior Project Engineer will report to the Manager of Project Engineering and will focus on providing technical coordination and leadership across cross-functional engineering projects for external and internal customers at Gastops. This role acts as the technical “glue” within project teams, ensuring engineering activities, decisions, risks, and deliverables remain aligned across disciplines. While the Senior Project Engineer will work closely with dedicated Project Management and Systems Engineering functions, the role is not responsible for owning those functions.
