Oil is found under the ground in remote places or offshore. It has to be pumped out and transported to the refiner for transformation to end products. The cheapest and safest mode of transportation of oil is through pipelines. As they are the convenient mode, there are vast network of pipelines in U.S. This involves huge recruitment for pipeline jobs. However security of pipelines needs to be considered to ensure safety and environmental concerns. The various pipeline jobs include pipeline corrosion monitoring, pipeline construction and equipment, SCADA engineer jobs, Oil and Gas Pipe liner and construction work etc.
