Job description

The Pipeline Integrity Engineer serves as a project manager who provides comprehensive technical support for pipeline systems. This role primarily manages pipeline integrity projects, including in-line inspections, anomaly evaluations, and repairs and reports directly to the Manager of Engineering/Field Integrity Services (TX). This role is a regional technical resource, potentially supporting measurement, process, and compression activities. The ideal candidate should exhibit professionalism, tact, and strong interpersonal skills while collaborating with individuals of varying backgrounds and expertise.

Provide engineering support to operations as required.
• Scope Development and Contractor Management: Develop scope documents, manage the bidding process, select contractors, coordinate permitting, and oversee contractor activities. Effectively prioritize workload between multiple projects and the ability to take on new projects and shift priorities on short notice.
• Documentation and Budgeting: Generate project alternatives and cost estimates, secure project funding, track expenses, and complete project closure documentation.
• Compliance and Safety: Apply company standards for safety, regulatory compliance, and efficiency. Review projects to meet OSHA, Kinder Morgan Engineering Standards, and Maintenance Procedures.
