Saturday, 02 May 2026

As a member of the Operations Control & Flow Assurance Engineering team, this early-career position supports the technical evaluation of natural gas pipeline systems from a hydraulic standpoint using Gregg Engineering’s NextGen transient and steady-state modeling software. The role supports hydraulic modeling efforts for capacity management and project requests, including support for commercial/business development opportunities that may involve pipeline design and compressor facility conceptual evaluation. This role works under close supervision with structured development, while building the capability to independently deliver accurate modeling outputs, clearly communicate results, and contribute to safe and reliable pipeline operations. Essential duties and responsibilities:Hydraulic Modeling & Engineering Support. Support, configure, and maintain hydraulic models for natural gas pipelines in applicable simulation software (NextGen). Perform routine engineering tasks to expand knowledge and experience in pipeline hydraulics and modeling. Follow prescribed procedures and conduct analyses to develop design options or recommendations. Evaluate model outputs against operational data to support identification of improvement opportunities (with guidance from senior engineers). Assist in front-end hydraulic analysis for projects and operational scenarios (e.g., capacity/constraint screening, what-if cases). Project & Cross-Functional Support. Assist more senior engineers in the preparation of plans, designs, computation methods, and reports. Support Commercial/ Business Development by running modeled scenarios for potential expansion and/or acquisition opportunities to help identify hydraulic limitations and preliminary design needs (under direction and review). Provide straightforward solutions to well-defined problems; escalate complex issues with recommended options. Operational Collaboration & Continuous Improvement. Provide consultation and project support for hydraulic applications and computer-based monitoring (as assigned). Support operational improvement initiatives by identifying pipeline performance opportunities for the control center (hydraulic analysis support, operational philosophy inputs, etc., with supervision). Participate in incident investigations and documentation of best practices as requested. Communicate technical information in a manner understandable to non-technical personnel (with coaching and review). Professional Expectations. Work on a small portion of larger projects; work is closely managed with regular check-ins to ensure clarity and alignment to goals. Deal with a wide variety of people with tact, courtesy, and professionalism. Speak clearly in person and by phone; listen carefully and document requirements/assumptions. Maintain regular, dependable attendance and a consistently high level of performance. Work non-traditional hours as needed to support critical business needs. Maintain a high regard for personal safety, the safety of company assets and employees, and the general public. Other duties as assigned. Education:Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in Engineering or a related field. Experience/ Specific Knowledge:0–3 years of engineering experience (internship/co-op experience applicable). Beginner proficiency with MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook). Foundational understanding of engineering principles; interest in pipeline hydraulics/flow assurance and willingness to learn modeling tools and operational practices. Certifications, Licenses & Registrations:Valid driver’s license with a satisfactory driving record. Ability to clear drug screening and background checks as required.
