Candidates may have a background in natural gas, crude oil or NGL infrastructure – experience across all three is not required.
The role
As a Senior Facilities & Pipeline Engineer, you will support pipeline and facility design, optimization and sustaining engineering activities across compression, pumping, storage and associated infrastructure.
Key responsibilities include:
- Identify technical issues and develop engineering solutions for compression, pumping, storage, pipeline and associated facilities
- Provide engineering expertise supporting the transportation of natural gas, crude oil and/or NGLs
- Support the design and modification of compressor stations, pump stations, terminals, process facilities and associated pipeline infrastructure
- Evaluate the feasibility of new technologies and processes for pipeline transportation and storage applications
- Develop technical scopes for facility upgrades, expansions and improvement projects
- Prepare and review project cost estimates and support economic evaluations
- Evaluate engineering alternatives based on safety, cost, efficiency, reliability and operational performance
- Provide sustaining engineering and technical support for existing facilities
- Troubleshoot operational and equipment issues and implement continuous improvement solutions
- Support equipment evaluation, specification and vendor selection
- Work closely with engineering, operations, construction, project management, safety and other technical stakeholders
- Provide technical support during construction and project execution
- Analyze operational and engineering data to identify optimization opportunities
- Identify project risks and develop technically appropriate mitigation strategies
- Support project scopes, schedules and cost estimates
- Manage multiple engineering priorities and technical deliverables
- Ensure engineering solutions comply with applicable codes, standards and regulatory requirements
- Travel to field locations as required to support engineering and project activities
What we're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Petroleum Engineering or a related engineering discipline
- Extensive engineering experience within midstream, pipeline or related energy infrastructure
- Experience with natural gas, crude oil or NGL systems – experience across all three is not required
- Hands-on experience with pipeline and facility design
- Experience with compressor stations, pump stations, terminals, process plants or similar facilities
- Knowledge of compression and/or pumping equipment and associated systems
- Experience supporting facility upgrades, expansions or capital projects
- Experience developing scopes and cost estimates
- Strong understanding of engineering safety, reliability and operational requirements
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
- Ability to evaluate multiple technical solutions and make sound engineering recommendations
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work effectively with engineering, construction and operations teams
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
Highly desirable experience
