Pipeline ILI Signal Analysis & Data Management Engineer

Relevant Experience Required:

• Collect and manage pipeline data, including specifications, maps, construction details, depth of cover, operating pressure, maintenance history, and geotechnical hazards.

• Ensure compliance with relevant regulations, industry codes, and standards (e.g., ASME B31.4/B31.8, API 1163/1104, ASME B31G, DNV RP F101, NACE).

• Must be conversant with PODS – Pipeline Open Data Standard and Pipeline Office Studio tools.

• Communicate effectively with stakeholders such as Integrity, Inspection, ROW, Design, Construction, and O&M teams.

• Awareness of pipeline fabrication, welding, installation, hydrostatic testing, and commissioning methods.

• Perform ILI data alignment within GIS, anomaly matching, and corrosion growth calculations:

• Load and align ILI inspection data using GIS control points and PODS schema.

• Match welds and anomalies between historic and current ILI runs; maintain run-to-run traceability.

• Conduct QC checks on ILI data alignment and integrity.

• Perform corrosion growth calculations and fitness-for-service assessments for assigned pipeline segments.

• Build dashboards for historical ILI runs (MFL, UTWM, UTCD, DEF) to visualize KPIs, anomaly trends, and corrosion growth.

• Validate dashboards with sample data and deploy to integrity teams; provide training for effective usage.

• Prepare audit-ready reports for regulatory compliance and internal governance

Mandatory Skills:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (Pipeline specialization preferred).

• 5+ years of experience in Oil & Gas pipeline integrity management with hands-on ILI signal analysis.

• Expertise in analyzing MFL, UT, GEO/caliper datasets, anomaly sizing/classification, and tool performance validation.

• Proficient in PODS, GIS (ArcGIS), Pipeline Office Studio, Microsoft Excel/PowerPoint, and Power BI.

• Working knowledge of API 1163, ASME B31.4/B31.8, ASME B31G, DNV RP F101, and NACE standards.

• Ability to produce audit-ready technical reports and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.

Good to have Skills:

• Experience with ECDA/ICDA, CP design/operations, and CIS/DCVG surveys.

• Prior exposure to RBI modeling, fitness-for-service calculations, and repair program management.

• Familiarity with SAP, Primavera P6, and basic scripting (Python/SQL) for data automation.

• NDT Level II certification and knowledge of ASNT SNT-TC-1A standards.
