Pipeline Engineer

About the role

Our Energy and Resources Division works with major exploration and distribution clients to deliver specialist mining, oil and gas projects across the country. We are recruiting for a Pipeline Engineer to be based in our Philippines team and work remotely to support our team and clients in Australia. This role focuses on the design of buried polyethylene (HDPE / PE100) gas and water gathering networks for Australian coal seam gas and water infrastructure clients. These networks run for tens to hundreds of kilometres of buried pipe across farmland, carrying flammable gas or process water, and connecting wellsites to processing facilities. You will apply an established engineering design rule set to new network designs, direct our GIS and drafting team on routing, layout and attribution, and escalate the cases the rules do not cover to our Brisbane technical lead. You will not certify designs — that accountability sits with our Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) in Australia.
