As a full-service engineering, design, and construction services firm, Mi-Tech delivers comprehensive, in-house support for utility, infrastructure and heavy civil projects from planning and design through execution. Our multidisciplinary team provides practical, innovative solutions that emphasize cost efficiency, constructability, and long-term value. Founded in 1985, Mi-Tech has built a reputation for excellence in engineering, design, environmental, laboratory, technical, and field support across the many industries we serve. As a proud member of the Michels Family of Companies, Mi-Tech collaborates across our internationally respected roster of construction craft and professionals to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

An Oil & Gas Pipeline Design Engineer (PE) is responsible for the design, analysis, and integrity of piping systems that support oil, gas, and water conveyance and transportation operations. This role develops efficient piping layouts, performs hydraulic and stress analyses, reviews P&IDs and isometric drawings, and ensures all systems meet ASME, API, ASTM, and water‑industry standards. The engineer supports fabrication, installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting for issues such as flow, pressure, vibration, and corrosion, ensuring full compliance with project requirements and HSE regulations.

  • Demonstrated experience performing detailed engineering design of oil and/or natural gas pipelines, including pipeline routing, alignment sheets, tie-ins, hydraulic calculations, and construction-ready engineering deliverables. Experience with water conveyance or facility piping is beneficial but does not replace direct oil and gas pipeline design experience.
  • Ability to interpret P&IDs, isometric drawings, and construction drawings
  • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in the US, with the ability to obtain licensure in applicable project jurisdictions and independently prepare, review, and seal engineering documents in accordance with state licensing requirements.
