What to Expect

What You'll Do

  • Monitor natural gas flows, pressures, alarms, and related operating data through SCADA and centralized control systems to maintain safe and reliable gathering-system performance.
  • Operate and maintain qualification on multiple natural gas gathering consoles and associated control systems; apply approved console procedures, system parameters, and operating guidance.
  • Plan and coordinate gathering-system operations, including shutdowns, start-ups, gas-volume and pressure balancing, and other operating activities that support market demand and contractual commitments.
  • Make timely operating decisions during changing conditions, including gas rerouting, weather impacts, customer curtailments, and estimated gathering-system requirements for the next 24 hours.
  • Develop and communicate daily and monthly gas-flow operating targets with stakeholders; compare actual performance with plan, document deviations and causes, and recommend corrective actions.
  • Prepare operating reports, gas-volume ledgers, and other required records while communicating field performance, nomination risks, and corrective-action recommendations to ICC/HCC, Commercial/Marketing, and local leadership.
  • Coordinate responses to abnormal operating and emergency events, using sound judgment to resolve complex problems and ensure recommendations align with business requirements and goals.

What You’ll Bring – Required

  • High school diploma or GED equivalent.
  • At least five years of relevant pipeline, terminal, control-room, field-operations, or comparable continuous-process experience.
  • Working knowledge of midstream natural gas gathering operations, pipeline operating standards, and the operational and business fundamentals of the industry.
  • Working knowledge of natural gas gathering equipment and operating processes, with the ability to explain system conditions and required actions clearly.
  • Valid driver’s license.
  • Legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future company sponsorship.
  • Ability to work a 12-hour rotating schedule that includes days, nights, weekends, and holidays, following a 7-days-on/7-days-off rotation.
  • Ability to travel occasionally for field trips, training, or visits to facilities and pipeline stations.
  • Ability to perform the physical requirements of the role, with or without reasonable accommodation, including periodically pushing or pulling doors and occasionally lifting or carrying objects up to 20 pounds.

What Makes You Stand Out – Preferred

  • Experience using SCADA, centralized control, alarm-management, measurement, or comparable operational-control systems.
