You’ll work on a broad range of renewable, natural gas, or oil projects, contributing to innovative solutions for the world’s built and natural environments in an employee-owned company that values diversity, sustainability, and collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Perform engineering design work, including hydraulic calculations, pipe sizing, pipe specifications, HDD calculations, workspace layout, alignment sheets, site-specific drawings, feasibility studies, routing, cost estimates, and material take-offs with limited oversight.
• Apply knowledge of CFR Parts 192 and 195 to oil and gas projects.
• Use CAD and GIS applications to assist in completing work deliverables.
• Coordinate with staff to finalize deliverables and provide direction to drafting designers for design drawings (plot plans, plan and profile drawings, alignment sheets, HDDs, material take-offs).
• Direct GIS mappers to complete route maps, project maps, survey maps, geohazard mapping, progress maps, footprint maps, and access road maps.
• Oversee data analysis, drawing, and mapping assignments without management oversight.
• Interact with clients, stakeholders, and various personnel during assigned projects.
• Follow ISO 9001:2015 quality requirements, including reviewing, documenting, validating, monitoring, and improving procedures.
• Assist with proposal writing, scope development, and preparation of execution plans.
• Travel for field exercises, reconnaissance, field truthing, verification, and surveys as required by projects.
• Support project-specific safety plans and participate in workplace safety initiatives.
• Learn new engineering fields and technologies to expand the team’s knowledge base and productivity.

Requirements

• 5–10 years of experience in pipeline engineering.
• Previous experience with natural gas or liquid pipeline operators or engineering consultants.
• Project experience including pipelines, pipeline facilities (valves, traps, meters), and coordination with stakeholders such as right-of-way, environmental, and survey teams.
• Hands-on experience preparing alignment sheets, HDD designs, routing studies, ROW layout, workspace, RMV placement, geohazards, plot plans, material take-offs, and cost estimates.
• Design experience, including completing calculations, reviewing specifications and codes, overseeing design drawings, and approving them.
• E.I.T or P.E. preferred but not mandatory.
• Experience with renewable, natural gas, or oil projects (e.g., high-pressure transmission pipelines, compression, storage, gathering, treating, processing) is a plus.
• Experience with carbon capture and renewable energies (e.g., H2 transmission, solar, wind) is a plus.
