Pipeline Engineer

What you will deliver

The Pipelines team is a small, diverse, team of highly skilled pipeline engineering professionals who work globally supporting bp s operations in Indonesia, Oman, Azerbaijan, Georgia & Turkey, Egypt, Mauritania & Senegal, UK, Trinidad & the Gulf of Mexico. Every drop of oil, water & condensate & cubic foot of gas produced by bp passes through a pipeline looked after by the team.

The primary responsibility of this role is to be a pipeline engineer in the TSI hub, based in Pune, India.

There are multiple roles open. The successful candidates will carry out various roles, including:

• Regional Pipeline Field Support: Supporting execution & assessment of subsea inspection campaigns & defining repair requirements.
• Subsea & Pipeline Integrity Management support: Working closely with engineers in the regions to manage subsea & pipeline integrity management data in our NEXUS-IC database, the Anomaly Assessment & Tracking system & Inspection Data loading.
• Subsea & Pipeline Geospatial, Documentation & Performance Management support: Working closely with engineers in the regions to manage our inspection & engineering data in the GIS (PODS), improve accessibility to our documents in the Electronic Document Management System & build & maintain Power BI dashboards.

General responsibilities for Pipeline Engineers:

• Elements of the role include risk assessment, integrity management plan development, maintenance, inspection & repair execution engineering support, anomaly assessment, & interaction with major projects
• Provides timely updates to Inspection Data Specialist on inspections and repairs scopes and ensures accuracy of the data including QA/QC, timely application of engineered solutions and documentations.
• Leading & participating pipeline integrity & improvement activities around the world
• Provide pipeline engineering expertise as the Equipment Owner for the pipeline related equipment & System Owner for any transportation systems as assigned by Region.
• Region / global pipeline related Domain Expert as assigned by the Pipeline Field Lead support all regions in areas of expertise when requested.
• Integrate with associated fields to ensure adequate equipment care, including maintenance & engineering, corrosion, flow assurance, production chemistry, pressure systems integrity, process safety & structural & civil engineering.
• Ensure pragmatic solutions are identified to manage risk, production efficiency, defect elimination & standardisation, to deliver safe, reliable & compliant operations.
• Own & maintain the documents & data for the assigned equipment.
• Own & maintain the risk assessment for the assigned equipment ensuring that the identified threats reflect current operations & use this to define, implement & support delivery of Equipment Strategies by the relevant Execution Owner. Assess anomalies, initiate further actions & follow up to closure.
• Prepare, review & endorse pipeline-related metrics (e.g. barrier health, pipeline integrity dashboard & LOPC data) & take action where appropriate.
• Pipeline support to incident investigations & the learning process.
• Technical management of subsea contractors (e.g. subsea engineering contractors).
