Pipeline Operator Qualification
EMS USA personnel fully support the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements for operator qualification. Through written assessment, EMS USA targets operator qualification and training requirements on several levels.

Our liquid pipeline operations and maintenance (O&M) personnel meet the requirements of the Pipeline Operator Qualification Rule ((49 CFR 192(N) and 49 CFR 195(G)) through evaluations following the Pipeliner Training and Assessment Program (PTAP), which was developed by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) jointly with the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the DOT. The PTAP consists of Pipeliner Curriculum and Pipeline Skills Assessments.

Operator qualifications are confirmed through NCCER assessments, as well as performance verifications. For gas pipeline operations and maintenance, we supply personnel who have been Operator-Qualified using Veriforce evaluations.

We take great pride in the outstanding reputation we have built as a solid, dependable service provider to the energy industry.  We are just as proud that we have built a workplace that values and appreciates its employees.  The atmosphere we have created and the benefits we offer have allowed us to build a team that is uniquely committed to excellence in our service to the nation’s energy providers.
