Overview
Seeking an experienced Pipeline Operations Engineer to support 24/7 monitoring, provisioning, and operational stability of the telecommunications and SCADA-dependent systems that enable safe, reliable operations of a carrier class network.
This role requires a strong background in telecommunications transport systems. Specifically Turin transport platforms (MUX). It is also beneficial to know microwave networks, RF systems, fiber infrastructure, and IP networking. Experience with TransNAV network management, NEC long-haul microwave, and Kratos/SATCOM monitoring systems is highly desirable.
The Pipeline Operations Engineer functions as a critical part of the Operations Control Center (OCC) / Network Operations Center (NOC) environment, ensuring continuous situational awareness and rapid response for network communications, safety systems, and operational technology networks.
Key Responsibilities
Network Monitoring & Operations
- Monitor enterprise communications networks including microwave backbone, fiber optic transport, multiplexing systems, and RF assets via NMS platforms such as TransNAV, Turin EMS, Kratos CMS, and internal monitoring tools.
- Detect, triage, and escalate alarms affecting TAPS operations, SCADA, Control Center systems, VSAT/LEO/SATCOM, voice systems, or remote site connectivity.
- Maintain real-time situational awareness of network health, environmental impacts, and communications impairments across the network.
Provisioning & Configuration Management
- Perform network provisioning on Turin transport gear, multiplexers, DWDM/SONET circuits, and IP/MPLS devices supporting operational traffic.
- Configure microwave paths, capacity changes, protection switching, and performance monitoring parameters.
- Execute planned maintenance windows, circuit cutovers, and activation of new network services per engineering standards.
- Maintain accurate provisioning documentation, configuration records, and change-control logs.
Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
- Diagnose faults on microwave radio systems, circuits, VHF/RF systems, and multiplexing equipment using spectrum analyzers, power meters, and other diagnostic tools.
- Work with field technicians, engineers, and OCC to coordinate remote troubleshooting, dispatch activities, or emergency repair operations.
- Identify chronic or recurring issues and work with engineering teams on root cause analysis and permanent corrective actions.
Systems Support & Specialized Platforms
- Operate and interpret network performance via Turin EMS, TransNAV, and Kratos platforms for SATCOM and RF signal integrity.
- Support legacy and modern multiplexing systems used for voice, data, control circuits, and failover paths throughout the network.
- Support cybersecurity event triage by monitoring network anomalies, unauthorized changes, or system degradations.
Preventative Maintenance & Operational Readiness
- Participate in scheduled preventative maintenance activities, verifying health/performance of backbone circuits, node equipment, and communication assets.
- Review and update system diagrams, SOPs, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides.
- Provide shift-handover reporting, daily status summaries, and incident documentation.
Collaboration & Field Coordination
- Serve as the central coordination point for field teams at remote sites.
- Communicate clearly during network events, outages, and safety-critical operations.
- Support engineering and operations teams in planning upgrades, migrations, and system modernization initiatives.
Please respond with resume.
