Reliability Engineer

at  JANA Corporation

JANA is focused on improving the integrity of gas pipeline systems through the application of advanced risk modeling technologies. Our models and software are defensible and highly predictive, allowing gas pipeline operators to take actions to reduce risk in their systems. And our Integrity Data suite enables pipeline operators to finally capture their pipeline asset data and unlock the value associated with this data.

• As an entrepreneurial company, we provide an exciting, dynamic and respectful work environment where you will be an important contributor to the JANA Team. Our Mission at JANA is “Better Pipelines for a Better World” – we are true believers and inspire our employees to join us in this Mission!
• High-energy Collaborative Environment: JANA combines the energy of a start-up software organization with the discipline of a precision engineering firm.
• Social Events: Join the entire JANA Team for fun virtual Social Events like our Beer Club. We also like to get together for in-person events such as our Annual Birthday Bonspiel, Holiday events, our annual Company Picnic, and team events!
• Best-in-Class Benefits: JANA offers all employees a comprehensive benefits package including a Healthcare Spending Account, Medical, Dental, Life Insurance, AD&D, Drug coverage, Disability coverage, as well as a Wellness Benefit!! JANA also provides employees with the opportunity to get support with mental wellness through our Employee Assistance Program.
• Giving Back: JANA is dedicated to giving back to our community. We hold an annual food drive for the Aurora Foodbank and have become one of their top contributors!
• JANA promotes a healthy work-life balance: Through our comprehensive vacation program, floater days, and a hybrid work environment (up to 20% a month in office) JANA employees are able to take time to rest and rejuvenate!

Members of JANA’s Innovation Team, JANA’s Reliability engineers are responsible for the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of JANA’s core risk modelling technology. Applying an understanding our clients JTBD, the latest in industry regulations and risk modelling approaches, JANA’s Reliability engineers/analysts ensure that our models are technically sound and deliver the insights our clients need to make the best decisions about the safety and integrity of their pipeline systems. JANA’s Reliability engineers/analysts also work to ensure the proper implementation of the risk models, developing the processes required to deliver, supporting JANA’s operations Team through initial deployments of the model and helping our clients understand how to use the results.
