• Manage pipeline integrity activities for DOT-regulated and non-regulated gathering pipelines, produced water pipelines, and intra-facility piping in alignment with applicable regulatory requirements, API 1160, and Chevron standards.
• Conduct or coordinate pipeline risk assessments, condition-based inspections, corrosion monitoring, and integrity evaluations.
• Track pipeline age, vintage, material, operating history, and other integrity data to support inspection, assessment, remediation, and replacement prioritization.
• Apply risk-based methodologies to establish inspection frequencies and remediation priorities.
• Plan and coordinate in-line inspection (ILI), integrity assessment, and anomaly remediation activities.
• Oversee and provide quality assurance for pipeline repairs, including composite sleeves, full-encirclement steel sleeves, pipe replacement, and weld repairs.
• Ensure pipeline repairs comply with applicable requirements, including ASME B31.4, ASME B31.8, API 1104, and DOT regulations.
• Review repair procedures, welder qualifications, and material certifications prior to repair execution.
• Coordinate excavation, backfill, coating restoration, and repair activities with Operations, Environmental, contractors, and other stakeholders.
• Maintain complete repair documentation, including as-built records, inspection reports, photographs, and supporting regulatory and audit records.
• Support emergency response and repair activities related to pipeline failures, leaks, and in-service damage.
• Provide technical guidance to Operations, Environmental, Maintenance, and Facilities Engineering on pipeline integrity matters.
• Coordinate with Supply Chain on inspection scopes, service contracts, repair materials, and pipeline integrity service providers.
• Communicate integrity findings, risk assessments, remediation recommendations, and program status to leadership and regulatory stakeholders.
• Support Management of Change (MOC) reviews associated with changes to pipeline operating pressure, service, or configuration.
• Manage pipeline integrity program budgets across applicable DOT and non-DOT assets.
• Develop monthly cost forecasts and accruals based on ILI, integrity assessment, and repair activities.
• Review invoices from ILI vendors, integrity assessment contractors, and pipeline repair service providers.
• Develop annual budgets based on assessment schedules, regulatory reassessment requirements, and identified repair backlogs.
• Maintain and report pipeline integrity KPIs, including ILI completion, anomaly remediation, cathodic protection performance, and regulatory compliance metrics.
• Track assessment schedules, action items, and compliance deadlines within applicable integrity and maintenance management systems.
• Maintain regulatory- and audit-ready documentation, including integrity management records, inspection reports, repair documentation, and operator qualification records.
• Support risk model updates, threat identification reviews, and integrity program effectiveness evaluations.
• Develop periodic program health reports summarizing integrity status, risk exposure, remediation progress, and upcoming assessment requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years of pipeline integrity, pipeline inspection, corrosion, mechanical integrity, or related oil and gas experience.
• Demonstrated knowledge of pipeline integrity principles, risk assessment, inspection, anomaly evaluation, corrosion control, and pipeline repair practices.
• Working knowledge of applicable pipeline codes and standards, including API 1160, API 1104, ASME B31.4, ASME B31.8, and applicable DOT pipeline requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate contractors and cross-functional stakeholders while managing integrity activities, technical documentation, schedules, and competing priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• 10 or more years of pipeline integrity, pipeline inspection, corrosion, or related mechanical integrity experience within upstream or midstream oil and gas operations.
• Experience planning and executing in-line inspections using technologies such as MFL, geometry/deformation, and ultrasonic crack detection.
• Experience managing integrity programs for regulated and non-regulated pipeline assets, including risk assessments, reassessment schedules, anomaly management, remediation, cathodic protection, and regulatory documentation.
