Boots On: Here’s the Job

Operator Excellence is how we work: safe, efficient, dependable, and always improving. Our Operators take pride in delivering top-quality work and keeping our customers running strong.

No two days are the same. As an Operator, you’ll:

• Every morning will begin reviewing SCADA / Palantir checking alarms and doing reports.
• You will travel between multiple sites, performing routine visits and visual inspections of pipelines, equipment, and overall site conditions to ensure everything is running safely and smoothly.
• Out in the field, you’re the first line of defense—monitoring pressures, flow rates, and key data, while also performing critical pipeline operations such as valve inspections, block valve maintenance, leak checks, transfer pump operation, utility and pipeline locates, OneCall responses, and overseeing safe excavation work.
• When equipment needs attention, you step in with hands-on mechanical know-how to tackle minor repairs, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
• You’ll be the on-site company rep—watching over Hydrovac crews, checking backfilling work, helping subcontractors, and giving management clear updates.
• Teamwork matters out here. You’ll help pumpers with repairs and troubleshooting and support operations across all assigned sites.
• Documentation is part of the job, too. You’ll record operational data, complete monthly NORM, SPCC, and site inspections, and enter everything into the work order system to keep us in compliance and support overall operator excellence.

By the time your shift wraps up, you’ve covered miles of terrain, solved problems, supported crews, and kept the system running safely and efficiently, making a real impact every single day.
