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.

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.
