Engineer II, Field Services

Houston · On-site$128k – $156k

About this role

Phillips 66 & YOU - Together we can fuel the future

 

The Engineer II, Field Services provides field-facing engineering support across the Phillips 66 Midstream asset base, helping ensure safe, reliable, and cost-effective operation of pipelines, terminals, and gathering/processing facilities. Operating as part of the centralized Asset Engineering team, this role converts a diverse mix of operational issues, digital/process initiatives, and ad hoc business requests into practical engineering workstreams, partnering closely with Operations and cross-functional stakeholders.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Serve as a field-facing engineer for Midstream regions, building strong relationships with Operations, Maintenance, and local leaders while providing day-to-day technical support to pipelines, terminals, and gathering/processing assets.
  • Independently troubleshoot complex operating issues involving equipment, process conditions, measurement, controls/automation, leak detection, winterization, or chemical programs, driving issues from problem definition through recommendation and closure.
  • Lead implementation of field-focused digital tools and processes (for example TLACS, Power BI dashboards, customer/Carrier Exchange or encroachment portals), coordinating requirements, user acceptance testing, documentation, training, and deployment.
  • Support asset integrations, turnarounds, and changes—such as PSSR/MOC activities, turnaround planning, and onboarding of new or acquired assets—by coordinating technical inputs across Operations, Projects, Integrity, Measurement, I&E/automation, HSE, and Commercial.
  • Develop, maintain, and improve field operations and maintenance governance documents, procedures, and technical methods, translating lessons learned and incident/near-miss findings into clearer and more consistent work practices.
  • Evaluate operating and cost performance (for example Opex diagnostics, chemical usage, methanol optimization, heater performance, winterization programs, and corporate or regulatory data requests) to identify safety, reliability, and cost-improvement opportunities.
  • Coordinate with vendors and service providers to define technical scope, obtain and evaluate proposals, support trials or field implementation, and verify that solutions are practical for long-term operation and maintenance.
  • Manage a dynamic portfolio of planned initiatives and ad hoc requests, prioritizing work based on risk and business impact, communicating status with stakeholders, and advancing work with limited step-by-step direction.

 

What You’ll Bring – Required

  • Legally authorized to work in the job posting country
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a closely related technical field
  • 3 or more years of relevant engineering experience in oil and gas
  • Ability to independently troubleshoot complex operating issues and using data and digital tools (for example Excel, engineering software, and/or analytics tools such as Power BI) to develop and communicate practical recommendations
  • Willingness and ability to travel up to 25% of the time to operating field locations as business needs require, including visits to active facilities and outdoor environments, with or without reasonable accommodation

 

What Makes You Stand Out – Preferred

  • 5 or more years of engineering experience in Midstream Operations supporting pipelines, terminals, and/or gas gathering and processing assets in an operating company environment
  • Experience providing field engineering or field services support (for example site visits, day-to-day troubleshooting, readiness/PSSR participation, and MOC-related technical work) for operating assets
  • Experience leading cross-functional initiatives that involve Operations, Maintenance, Projects, Integrity, Measurement, I&E/automation, IT/SCADA, HSE, and Commercial/Business Development stakeholders
  • Experience delivering digital or data-focused solutions for field and leadership users, such as TLACS-based reporting, Power BI dashboards, or similar tools that make operating and reliability performance visible
  • Experience supporting turnaround planning, asset integrations, or transitions of new or acquired assets into Operations, including use of integration playbooks, checklists, and structured readiness plans
  • Experience evaluating chemical programs, emissions or leak-detection practices, atmospheric storage-tank performance, or similar programs where engineering judgment is used to improve both compliance and cost performance
  • Experience defining technical needs and coordinating with vendors and contractors to scope work, compare solutions, and support safe and efficient field implementation
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to simplify complex technical issues for non-technical audiences and influence decisions without direct authority
  • Proven track record of converting ambiguous or “one-off” requests into structured work plans, managing multiple priorities at once, and driving actions to closure in partnership with field and functional stakeholders
  • Demonstrated commitment to safety, environmental stewardship, disciplined operations, and continuous improvement aligned with Phillips 66 values and Midstream standards
