We are seeking an experienced Hydraulic Engineer IV to support natural gas pipeline operations. This individual will apply their technical knowledge of natural gas pipeline systems, gas flow, and hydraulic modeling to support day-to-day operational activities.

This is an Operations-focused position, not a project engineering role. The ideal candidate will have at least six years of oil and gas pipeline experience, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to evaluate operational scenarios and resolve issues in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Support natural gas pipeline operations through hydraulic analysis, simulation, and evaluation of pipeline system performance.

• Apply knowledge of natural gas flow characteristics and pipeline hydraulics to assess operational conditions and potential system impacts.

• Evaluate hypothetical operating scenarios and provide technical recommendations to support operational decision-making.

• Identify, investigate, and resolve operational issues while maintaining a strong focus on accuracy and attention to detail.

• Collaborate with Gas Control, Scheduling, and other internal teams on operational matters, outage coordination, and system requirements.

• Prioritize multiple assignments and manage competing demands in a fast-paced environment.

• Maintain effective working relationships and communicate technical findings and recommendations to internal stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Petroleum, or Chemical Engineering.

• Minimum of six years of oil and gas pipeline experience.

• Strong technical understanding of natural gas pipeline systems, gas flow, and hydraulic simulation.

• Ability to evaluate operational scenarios, troubleshoot issues, and develop practical solutions.

• Strong critical thinking, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent organizational, communication, and prioritization abilities.

• Ability to work independently, take ownership of issues, and drive them through resolution.

Preferred Qualifications

•

Experience with one or more of the following hydraulic modeling software programs:

• FlowDesk

• NextGen
