I've just made a career change from the public works/land development industry into pipeline engineering (oil/gas...but mostly gas).
Question: Are there "pipeline" companies in Austin, TX should I decide to move there?
Should I make the switch to pipeline engineering for an Oil/Gas company from Land Development? Have any civil engineers made the switch to pipeline engineering? Would you suggest it? Any advice? Was the pay competetive for you? I just received an offer letter but the pay isn't much different...
I have been contemplating the move to an oil/gas company lately. The reasons: 1. bored with my current work in land development and 2. I love the prospect of travelling.
Any advice on making this transfer? How would a PE in general civil engineering go about making such a move?
How do I calculate the distance in the x, y, z planes if I wanted to rotate, say, a 10-foot segment of pipe attached to a 22.5-deg bend by 45 degrees? That is, how do I illustrate the difference in station and elevations depending on how much I rotate a x-deg bend?
I'm a design engineer working in the linear infrastructure public works side of the fence (no plant work). I typically design water, storm, and sanitary lines with minor experience in paving, drainage, and roadwork. I should be taking my PE exam for the first time in October.
Which test...
Has anyone ever made the move from Houston, TX to Portland, OR? I have an opportunity to move to the great pacific northwest (i love the scenery), but the logistics of moving are troublesome. Anyway, I am a civil engineer in public works infrastructure with the opportunity to work for an up...
I am starting on a project where I'll be introduced to paving and drainage. The little that I have learned so far seems pretty standard and conducive for a step-by-step guide. For example, Step 1. Locate critical tie-in points such as streets, driveways, etc. 2. Create drainage area map. 3...

I have the opportunity to work for KBR (Halliburton) as a civil engineer in Iraq. Has anyone worked in Iraq? Any testimonials or advice? Would you do it?
Beggar - I have experience in designing construction drawings and contracts for water transmission lines, roadway, paving, drainage, traffic signalization, etc....basic civil engineering as you can see. Even for the water main design, I don't actually do the hydraulic analysis (someone else...
...and work for an american engineering firm. I am an EIT in civil engineering who would like to have the opportunity to learn spanish and a foreign culture. Is it possible for me to join a gas/oil company that have bases in south america with only a civil engineering degree?
I am starting research on a report and powerpoint presentation. The topic is going to be about the proper way of training/teaching novice engineers. Basically, there's been a problem at my work place when it comes to training, or lack thereof, new engineers. Project managers are giving...
