MAOP Records Research and Reconfirmation Specialist

Job#: 3056330
Job Description:
Client: Williams Companies
Location: ONSITE Mon to Friday - Houston, TX
Contract: Can extend to 2 years
Williams is seeking a technically experienced MAOP Records Research and Reconfirmation Specialist to support its Pipeline Safety and MAOP Reconfirmation Program.
The program involves reviewing historical pipeline records, identifying gaps in documentation, and developing work scopes to support MAOP reconfirmation activities across 200+ pipeline sites.
Ideal Candidate Profile:

• This is NOT an administrative or traditional document control position. Looking for someone who can go beyond locating and organizing records to technically evaluating engineering documentation, identifying compliance gaps, and helping determine what work is required to move sites toward execution.
• Someone with a background in pipeline integrity, pipeline safety compliance, MAOP reconfirmation, or technical engineering records who has experience evaluating pipeline documentation and identifying compliance gaps.
• Candidates who have performed hands-on TVC evaluations, reviewed hydrostatic testing records, interpreted pipeline drawings, or supported MAOP reconfirmation programs should be heavily prioritized.
• TVC experience is highly preferred: Candidates who have personally evaluated technical records for TVC compliance will stand out.
• Not a document control role: Steve wants candidates who can analyze the technical content of records, not individuals whose experience is primarily organizing, filing, or retrieving documents.
• Engineering/drafting experience: Candidates with drafting or engineering backgrounds who understand pipeline drawings and technical documentation could be strong fits.
• Program scope: 200+ sites requiring records research, technical evaluation, and reconfirmation scoping.

Responsibilities/Expectations:
- Research and evaluate historical pipeline records, including strength test records, material records, surveys, engineering drawings, and construction documentation.
- Analyze records to determine Traceable, Verifiable, and Complete (TVC) status in accordance with pipeline safety and regulatory requirements.
- Identify missing, incomplete, or inaccurate documentation that could impact MAOP reconfirmation.
- Review technical drawings, pipeline specifications, and historical records to determine applicability to specific pipeline assets.
- Correlate records to pipeline locations and identify discrepancies requiring further investigation.
- Prepare and submit GIS service requests to correct inaccurate or incomplete pipeline asset information.
- Develop and update MAOP reconfirmation work scopes based on technical findings and record evaluations.
- Support engineering teams in identifying sites requiring additional inspections, excavation, or other reconfirmation activities.
- Assist with scoping and preparation of sites for project execution, including work associated with External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA).
- Compile and maintain TVC evaluation packages within Williams' records management systems.
- Collaborate with Pipeline Safety, Engineering, GIS, Records Management, and Project Execution teams.
- Support the program's goal of preparing as many sites as possible for reconfirmation and execution.
Required Qualifications:
- Experience researching, analyzing, and evaluating technical engineering, construction, pipeline, or regulatory records.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical documentation, and pipeline records.
- Experience identifying technical documentation gaps and determining record completeness and applicability.
- Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
- Experience working with electronic document management systems and technical records repositories.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, and SharePoint.
- Ability to manage multiple assignments and meet project deadlines.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Highly Preferred Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience evaluating Traceable, Verifiable, and Complete (TVC) pipeline records.
- Background in pipeline safety, pipeline integrity, MAOP reconfirmation, or regulatory compliance.
- Experience reviewing strength test records, material records, and pipeline construction documentation.
- Engineering or drafting background with the ability to interpret technical pipeline drawings.
- Familiarity with PHMSA regulations and MAOP requirements.
- Experience with GIS, pipeline asset data, linear referencing, or stationing.
- Knowledge of ECDA processes and pipeline inspection/scoping activities.
- Experience with ARAS, Aconex, Pressure Test Portal, RIM, or similar records management systems.
