Enbridge, a Canadian pipeline giant, has announced that it will be cutting 650 jobs due to “increasingly challenging business conditions” . The company aims to complete the job reductions by March 1, 2024. Enbridge is headquartered in Calgary and currently has approximately 12,000 employees, primarily in the U.S. and Canada.

The job cuts come as the company faces persistent headwinds including higher interest rates, economic uncertainty, and the ripple effects of geopolitical developments. Enbridge spokeswoman Gina Sutherland confirmed the cuts in an email Tuesday, adding that the company must cut costs and strengthen its competitiveness to weather the near-term challenges.

The job cuts are expected to be made across the organization, but no specifics have been provided on which individual business units or regions would be most affected.
