Role Description

The Pipeline Facilities Engineer will serve as the technical lead for the planning, design, engineering oversight, construction support, and operational integration of natural gas metering and regulating (M&R) facilities associated with interstate and intrastate pipeline systems. This position will play a key role in the development of a major natural gas pipeline hub designed to interconnect three separate pipeline systems at a common delivery and pressure regulation location.

In addition to metering and regulation facilities, the engineer will oversee the design and integration of:

• Mainline valve assemblies
• Pig launcher and receiver facilities
• Telemetry systems
• SCADA infrastructure supporting safe and reliable pipeline operations

The engineer will be responsible for technical oversight of facility design related to:

• Custody transfer metering
• Pressure regulation
• Gas quality measurement
• Filtration
• Overpressure protection
• Pipeline isolation systems
• Automation
• Communications
• Operational flexibility

The role will coordinate closely with third-party engineering firms, pipeline operators, operations personnel, and construction teams to ensure facilities are safe, reliable, expandable, and compliant with all applicable industry and regulatory requirements.

The ideal candidate will possess strong experience in:

• Natural gas transmission facilities
• Pipeline interconnects
• Metering and regulation stations
• Launcher/receiver facilities
• Mainline valve design
• Pipeline SCADA systems with emphasis on constructability, operability, and long-term system reliability

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering

Requirements

• Lead engineering support for the development of a natural gas pipeline hub designed to connect three separate pipeline systems at a common interconnect location
• Evaluate pipeline operating pressures, flow balancing requirements, and system hydraulics between interconnected pipelines
• Support development of facility operating philosophies for gas receipt, delivery, isolation, pressure control, and emergency response
• Review system flexibility requirements to support varying pipeline flow scenarios and operational contingencies
• Provide technical oversight for the design and operation of custody transfer metering stations, pressure regulating stations, gas filtration and separation systems, flow control systems, gas quality measurement systems, pressure relief and overpressure protection systems, and pipeline interconnect facilities
• Review sizing and selection of ultrasonic meters, turbine meters, control valves, regulators, relief valves, filters, and separators
• Ensure station designs support accurate measurement, operational reliability, maintainability, and future expansion capability
• Oversee engineering and design of mainline valve assemblies, automated block valve stations, emergency isolation valve systems, pig launcher and receiver facilities, blowdown systems, and bypass piping arrangements
• Review valve spacing requirements, emergency isolation strategies, and maintenance access considerations
• Ensure launcher and receiver designs support operational pigging, inline inspection tools, maintenance activities, and future pipeline integrity programs
• Coordinate pipeline tie-in and outage planning activities
• Provide technical oversight for pipeline telemetry and SCADA system integration supporting remote operation and monitoring of facilities
