[ Pipeline Engineers ]

Many years ago, when I had been working as a pipeline engineer for about 10 years, I started asking the question, “just what is a pipeline engineer?”  I wasn’t really sure if I was one. 

Because I was doing so many different things on so many (pipeline) projects.

Pipeline engineering isn’t an engineering discipline, like civil or mechanical engineering.  It’s a combination of all the engineering disciplines, as well as land management, environmental studies, sociology, and economics. 

The most ambiguous statement you can make is, “I need a pipeline engineer for this”.  

You’ll need to be more specific than that.
