CALGARY — TC Energy Corp. has cut an unspecified number of jobs, primarily in Calgary and Houston, the pipeline company confirmed Wednesday.
A company spokesperson said in an emailed statement the layoffs relate to TC Energy's previously announced plans to integrate its sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½, U.S. and Mexico natural gas pipelines business units.
The new job cuts are in addition to a prior round of layoffs confirmed by TC Energy last June.
TC Energy is just the latest company to announce layoffs amid a wave of job reductions at Canadian energy firms.Â
Competitor Enbridge Inc. recently completed a 650-person headcount reduction that it blamed on higher interest rates, economic uncertainty and geopolitical developments.
Oilsands giant Suncor Energy Inc. also recently wrapped 1,500 job cuts as part of a wider efficiency push by new CEO Rich Kruger.
