About Jason Shipman

I lead large-scale pipeline and terminal integrity programs with a focus on risk-based decision making, operational stability, and capital efficiency.Over the past 13+ years, I have worked across field execution and engineering leadership roles supporting upstream, downstream, and pipelines. My experience spans system design, integrity management, and capital project execution, with increasing responsibility for aligning engineering decisions to business outcomes.Most recently, I led the redesign of an enterprise pipeline integrity inspection model to address systemic volatility in regulatory cycles. By implementing a risk-based planning framework, we stabilized execution cadence, improved cross-functional coordination, and unlocked approximately NPV $30M+ in OPEX value through workforce and resource optimization.I am known for- Translating complex engineering constraints into clear, risk-informed decisions- Structuring programs that balance safety, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency- Coaching engineers to present and defend data-driven recommendations to operations and leadership- Driving alignment across engineering, operations, and field execution teamsMy leadership approach is grounded in three principles- Understand context before reacting- Maintain professionalism and respect in all interactions- Default to truth and data in decision makingI am particularly interested in roles and opportunities that expand into- Enterprise operations leadership- Strategy and capital allocation- Large-scale system optimization
