Energy company modernizing operations and compliance tracking across North America
Irving Oil operates a 1,000+ person energy business across North America with active hiring in five countries. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (Oracle, Workday, Salesforce, Power BI, Cognos) and tilted toward operations (67 ops, 25 logistics roles vs. 19 engineering). Current project focus—Power BI dashboards, SharePoint migration, compliance automation—reveals an organization optimizing internal workflows and regulatory posture rather than building new products. The decelerating hiring velocity and emphasis on labor-reduction and process-efficiency work suggests a mature, operationally-focused company working through legacy system consolidation.
Irving Oil is a privately held energy company founded in 1924, headquartered in Saint John, New Brunswick, and operating across Canada, the United States, South Africa, the Isle of Man, and Ireland. The company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people, with the largest hiring footprint in operations and logistics. The active project portfolio centers on business-process optimization: Power BI reporting and dashboard automation, SharePoint infrastructure rollout, compliance and safety improvements, and real-estate and asset-utilization initiatives. Current pain points include regulatory compliance, labor-intensive workflows, data integrity, and route and inspection efficiency.
Enterprise applications: Oracle (AP), Workday, Salesforce, Power BI, Cognos, Tableau, Alteryx. Infrastructure: Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Windows. Design/media: Adobe Creative Cloud, CAD, GIS tools. Actively rolling out SharePoint.
Five countries: Canada, United States, South Africa, Isle of Man, and Ireland. Largest concentration in Canada and the US.
