About Webb Winston
I am a senior engineering leader with deep expertise in trenchless pipeline delivery and large‑scale natural gas infrastructure. I guide enterprise strategy, risk governance, and technical execution for complex trenchless installations across 24 states, supporting a system that moves a significant portion of the nation’s natural gas. As Principal Engineer at Williams, I lead cross‑functional engineering initiatives, shape companywide standards, modernize technical tools, and mentor emerging leaders. I’ve supported more than $1B in capital programs and built high‑performing teams that deliver consistent, reliable, and constructible project outcomes. Across my career, I’ve been trusted to align engineering, construction, environmental, and regulatory stakeholders around solutions that strengthen safety, reduce risk, and improve execution. I remain active in advancing industry practice through national committees, PRCI leadership roles, and contributions to ASCE Manuals of Practice. I thrive where technical depth, leadership, and strategic clarity intersect—and I’m committed to elevating the engineering discipline and supporting the future of safe, resilient pipeline infrastructure.
