Principal Pipelines Engineer

The NEPx Principal Pipeline Engineer is responsible for leading and assuring pipeline engineering across the Humber Offshore Pipeline revalidation and CS006/CS007 offshore storage developments. Acting as the technical authority for offshore pipelines, flowlines and landfall scope, the role provides technical oversight and assurance of contractor deliverables and leads critical engineering decisions covering routing, crossings, materials selection, integrity and constructability. The role manages pipeline-related risks, opportunities and interfaces across offshore, landfall and onshore scopes, provides specialist pipeline input to ESIA and DCO regulatory submissions, and ensures compliance with applicable standards and regulatory requirements while incorporating lessons learned from NEP Phase 1.

Key Responsibilities
