Engineer II, Field Services

Provides field-facing engineering support across the Phillips 66 Midstream asset base, helping ensure safe, reliable, and cost-effective operation of pipelines, terminals, and gathering/processing facilities. Operates as part of the centralized Asset Engineering team, converting operational issues, digital/process initiatives, and ad hoc business requests into practical engineering workstreams in partnership with Operations and cross-functional stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a field-facing engineer for Midstream regions, building relationships with Operations, Maintenance, and local leaders while providing day-to-day technical support to pipelines, terminals, and gathering/processing assets.
• Independently troubleshoot complex operating issues involving equipment, process conditions, measurement, controls/automation, leak detection, winterization, or chemical programs, driving issues from problem definition through recommendation and closure.
• Lead implementation of field-focused digital tools and processes (e.g., TLACS, Power BI dashboards, customer/Carrier Exchange or encroachment portals), coordinating requirements, user acceptance testing, documentation, training, and deployment.
• Support asset integrations, turnarounds, and changes—such as PSSR/MOC activities, turnaround planning, and onboarding of new or acquired assets—by coordinating technical inputs across Operations, Projects, Integrity, Measurement, I&E/automation, HSE, and Commercial.
• Develop, maintain, and improve field operations and maintenance governance documents, procedures, and technical methods, translating lessons learned and incident/near-miss findings into clearer and more consistent work practices.
• Evaluate operating and cost performance (e.g., Opex diagnostics, chemical usage, methanol optimization, heater performance, winterization programs, and corporate or regulatory data requests) to identify safety, reliability, and cost-improvement opportunities.
• Coordinate with vendors and service providers to define technical scope, obtain and evaluate proposals, support trials or field implementation, and verify that solutions are practical for long-term operation and maintenance.
• Manage a dynamic portfolio of planned initiatives and ad hoc requests, prioritizing work based on risk and business impact, communicating status with stakeholders, and advancing work with limited step-by-step direction.

Requirements

• Legally authorized to work in the job posting country.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a closely related technical field.
• 3 or more years of relevant engineering experience in oil and gas.
• Ability to independently troubleshoot complex operating issues and use data and digital tools (e.g., Excel, engineering software, and/or analytics tools such as Power BI) to develop and communicate practical recommendations.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 25% of the time to operating field locations as business needs require, including visits to active facilities and outdoor environments, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Qualifications

• 5 or more years of engineering experience in Midstream Operations supporting pipelines, terminals, and/or gas gathering and processing assets in an operating company environment.
• Experience providing field engineering or field services support (e.g., site visits, day-to-day troubleshooting, readiness/PSSR participation, and MOC-related technical work) for operating assets.
• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives involving Operations, Maintenance, Projects, Integrity, Measurement, I&E/automation, IT/SCADA, HSE, and Commercial/Business Development stakeholders.
• Experience delivering digital or data-focused solutions for field and leadership users, such as TLACS-based reporting, Power BI dashboards, or similar tools that make operating and reliability performance visible.
• Experience supporting turnaround planning, asset integrations, or transitions of new or acquired assets into Operations, including use of integration playbooks, checklists, and structured readiness plans.
• Experience evaluating chemical programs, emissions or leak-detection practices, atmospheric storage-tank performance, or similar programs where engineering judgment is used to improve both compliance and cost performance.
• Experience defining technical needs and coordinating with vendors and contractors to scope work, compare solutions, and support safe and efficient field implementation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to simplify complex technical issues for non-technical audiences and influence decisions without direct authority.
• Proven track record of converting ambiguous or “one-off” requests into structured work plans, managing multiple priorities at once, and driving actions to closure in partnership with field and functional stakeholders.
• Demonstrated commitment to safety, environmental stewardship, disciplined operations, and continuous improvement aligned with Phillips 66 values and Midstream standards.
