Position Summary

This role provides hydraulic engineering support for natural gas and crude gathering systems by evaluating current and future system performance, identifying operational constraints, and developing engineering solutions that support operations, commercial development, and capital projects. Responsibilities include hydraulic modeling, flow assurance, engineering evaluations, and preparation of project documentation, including MPMPs, Charters, and other technical studies, while ensuring compliance with company standards and applicable regulatory requirements.

Responsibilities

• Independently performs steady-state hydraulic modeling for gas or liquid systems; begin modeling transient analysis. Independently manage multiple assignments, establish priorities, and deliver quality engineering work within established schedules with minimal supervision.
• Gathers and interprets field data to troubleshoot issues and validate model results.
• Supports capital project scoping with hydraulic inputs.
• Coordinates directly with operations on pressure concerns, system balancing or outage impacts. Collaborate with Operations, Producer Customers, Business Development, Measurement, Construction, and Project Engineering to develop practical engineering solutions and support project execution
• Prepares technical memos, slides and visualizations for broader audiences. Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills with the ability to communicate technical information effectively across all levels of the organization and with internal and external stakeholders
• Configures leak detection systems/models or PI Vision screens to monitor for anomalies.
• Independently performs hydraulic modeling or develop and maintain leak detection models.
• Coordinates operations concerns from a pressure control and capacity maximization perspective. Maintain working knowledge of field operations and system troubleshooting, including pigging, hydrates, liquids management, pressure control, and gathering system operations
• Develop, maintain, calibrate, and analyze hydraulic models using Synergi Gas, Synergi Liquid, and/or PIPER, integrating GIS shapefiles, PI/PI Vision, FLOWCAL, producer forecasts, and operating data.
• Experience developing, interpreting, or utilizing transient hydraulic models using Symmetry, SPS, or equivalent software.
• Possess a strong understanding of natural gas and crude gathering systems, including pipeline hydraulics, flow assurance, compression, pumping, treating, processing, and facility operations.
• Analyze current operating conditions and future producer forecasts to identify capacity constraints, optimize gathering system performance, and develop engineering recommendations that support operations, commercial development, and capital projects.
• Prepare engineering evaluations, MPMPs, Charters, technical scopes, and other project documentation supporting pipelines, compressor stations, pump stations, treating facilities, and other midstream infrastructure.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering required; chemical or mechanical preferred.
• Two (2) years or more of experience required.
