• Solid working knowledge of midstream pipeline systems, valves, regulators, and measurement equipment, with the ability to operate pipeline assets and execute pigging operations independently under normal conditions.
• Deep understanding of pipeline safety practices and the ability to meet all PHMSA and DOT criteria for safety‑sensitive duties.
• Possession of a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record and the ability to pass mandatory verification of DOT drug, alcohol, and safety records for the preceding two‑year period.

• Strong interpersonal skills to effectively coordinate with field personnel, control room operators, landowners, and stakeholders, working well both independently and as part of a team.
• High level of accuracy in managing operational documentation, pipeline inspection records, and regulatory‑driven compliance logs.
• Ability to perform medium physical work – including lifting up to 75 pounds – and the agility to climb, kneel, crouch, or reach for extended periods while working on field equipment.
• Comfort working in rugged outdoor field environments and along pipeline rights‑of‑way, with exposure to varying weather extremes and remote industrial conditions.
• Availability to work flexible hours, handle extended field shifts, and respond to emergency callouts or travel across the regional pipeline footprint as required.
