The pipeline transportation industry deals primarily with the transportation of products, such as crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products, or slurry, through transmission pipelines. The expansive nature of this industry requires a whole host of qualified staff, from gas plant operators and valve installers to industrial machinery mechanics.
The United States continues to rely mostly on fossil fuels for power, so it’s no surprise that the pipeline transportation industry employment has risen steadily throughout the past few years. Companies looking to bring in the best engineers, mechanics, or plant operators must sweeten the pot with an extensive benefits package to ensure top candidates choose their team instead of the competition. Generally speaking, comprehensive benefits packages include access to medical, dental, and vision insurance, disability coverage, paid time off, a life insurance plan, and a retirement savings account.
There are 4,000 pipeline transportation organizations nationwide, employing 52,000 professionals. On average, each business is quite small, with only 14 staff members. The median employee age is 44 years old.
50% of these employers offer short-term disability coverage, and 29% offer long-term disability insurance. The national average is 42% and 34%, respectively.
73% offer access to a life insurance plan. Comparatively, the national average is 56%.
Altogether, the pipeline transportation industry provides their employees well thought out comprehensive benefits packages, as per the national standard.
