Mechanical damage
Manufacturing and material defects
Working knowledge of cathodic protection systems and corrosion mitigation practices.
Understanding of High Consequence Area (HCA) identification and Integrity Management Program (IMP) governance requirements.
Experience coordinating with ILI vendors, contractors, and field service providers.
Strong documentation practices to ensure regulatory defensibility and audit readiness.
Ability to operate effectively in both office and field environments.
Experience working for or directly supporting midstream pipeline operators.
Ability to adapt to varying operator procedures, documentation systems, and integrity management frameworks.
Strong project management and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and regulatory deadlines simultaneously.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly in client-facing and audit environments.
High level of professionalism, accountability, and discretion while representing both the company and client organizations.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications; experience with integrity management software platforms and GIS systems preferred.

Nice To Haves

Experience in a client-facing consulting, contract engineering, or embedded engineering role preferred.
EIT certification or Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred but not required.
