pipeline engineer
Pipeline engineers design and develop the engineering aspects for the construction of pipeline infrastructures in various kinds of sites (e.g. inland, maritime). They envision and create the specifications for pumping systems and for the general transport of goods through pipelines.
Also called: main line station technician, pipeline integrity engineer, offshore pipeline engineer, main line station engineer, pipeline field technician, subsea pipeline engineer, pipeline field engineer, pipeline engineering technician
