What is a remote storage tank engineer?

Remote storage tank engineers are professionals who design, monitor, and maintain storage tanks—such as those used for oil, gas, chemicals, or water—often from a remote location using advanced technologies. They use sensors, software, and remote monitoring systems to ensure the structural integrity and safe operation of tanks without being physically present on-site. Their work includes analyzing data, troubleshooting issues, and coordinating maintenance or repairs, which helps companies optimize safety and efficiency while reducing the need for frequent site visits.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote storage tank engineer?

To thrive as a Remote Storage Tank Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical or civil engineering, knowledge of industry standards (such as API 650/653), and relevant engineering licensure or certification. Familiarity with CAD software, remote monitoring systems, inspection tools, and asset management platforms is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for collaborating remotely and ensuring compliance. These competencies are vital for maintaining the structural integrity, safety, and regulatory compliance of storage tanks while coordinating with teams from a distance.

How does a remote storage tank engineer typically collaborate with on-site teams to ensure project success?

As a Remote Storage Tank Engineer, you will frequently coordinate with on-site personnel through video calls, digital project management tools, and regular reporting. Clear communication is vital for reviewing blueprints, discussing inspection results, and troubleshooting technical issues in real time. You may also provide remote guidance during installations or maintenance, leveraging digital documentation and sometimes live video feeds. Building strong relationships with field teams ensures that safety standards and engineering specifications are consistently met, even when working from a distance.

What is the difference between Remote Storage Tank Engineer vs Storage Tank Inspector?

Work EnvironmentDesign, maintenance, and troubleshooting of storage tanks remotely or on-siteInspection and assessment of storage tanks on-site
Industry UsageOil & gas, petrochemical, storage facilitiesOil & gas, chemical plants, storage facilities

The Remote Storage Tank Engineer focuses on designing, maintaining, and troubleshooting storage tanks, often working remotely or on-site with technical expertise. In contrast, the Storage Tank Inspector primarily conducts on-site inspections to ensure safety and compliance. Both roles require similar certifications and industry experience, but their core responsibilities differ in scope and focus.

Job description

UST (Underground Storage Tank) Compliance Specialist

UST = Underground Storage Tank compliance (fuel retail/petroleum/environmental) - this is NOT a financial, HIPAA, SOX, or legal compliance role

Please do not apply unless you have direct experience with USTs, fuel retail environmental regulations, or petroleum/UST-adjacent industries

Full-Time or Part-Time | Exempt or Non-Exempt | Remote with in-office opportunities in NC and MA |
Reports to the Fuel Facilities UST Compliance Manager | $25 - $35/hour ($52,000 - $72,800 annual)

THE ROLE

We're looking for someone experienced in managing UST compliance at retail fueling sites to join our existing team. Pinnacle works as an extension of our clients' environmental compliance teams. This can take the form of filling gaps created by staffing turnovers, surge work as the portfolio expands, or a longer-term outsourced solution partner allowing our clients to focus on proactive asset planning. We don't own tanks, we don't do the testing, and we don't do field work. What we do is make sure the compliance program runs, the records hold up, and the gaps get closed before they turn into violations, lost insurance coverage, or lost revenue.

Day to day you'd be working alongside Pinnacle teammates, client staff, contractors, and regulators to keep every UST system in compliance with excellent documentation, supported by Pinnacle's wholistic service model that unites the right People, efficient Process, and powerful compliance Platforms.

WHAT YOU'D BE DOING

  • Inspections and return to compliance: Coordinating agency inspections, putting the compliance packet together, and driving notices of violation through to a documented return to compliance.
  • Release detection: Reviewing monthly CSLD, SIR and interstitial monitoring results, chasing down whatever doesn't pass, and making sure suspected release reporting happens inside the state's window.
  • Testing and equipment: Scheduling and verifying annual and triennial line and tank tightness testing, ATG certification, Stage I/II vapor recovery, cathodic protection rectifier readings, and 30-day monthly visual walkthrough inspections.
  • Vendors and activities: Triaging alarms, dispatching the right contractor, and following through until the closeout documentation is in the system.
  • Registrations and permitting: Tank registration, permitting, air permit renewals, and financial assurance and state insurance fund applications for new-to-industry, raze and rebuilds, tank replacements and removals, tank closures and ownership transfers.
  • Agency reporting: Coordinating agency reporting and tracking remediation response and component repairs through completion.

WHAT YOU'D BRING

  • Two or more years in UST or AST compliance, with an owner or operator, an environmental consultancy, or a state program.
  • A working command of 40 CFR Part 280 and at least one state UST program.
  • Class A or Class B operator training, or the readiness to complete it.
  • Comfort working directly with owners, operators and regulators.
  • Solid Excel skills and fluency with a compliance platform.
  • Availability for the shared on-call rotation.

Useful but not required: a multi-site portfolio in more than one state, existing relationships with state agency staff, or any exposure to state UST cleanup programs.

WHY PINNACLE

For over 30 years, Pinnacle has built an exceptional reputation for delivering results for clients in the fuel retail industry. Our success comes from talented people who take pride in their work, value collaboration, and understand that our clients' success is at the heart of what we do every day. We're looking for people who want to be part of a high-performing team where capable colleagues support one another, solve problems together, and share in the wins.

We believe great work starts with taking care of our people, which is why we invest in competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, employee well-being, and opportunities to learn and grow throughout your career. At Pinnacle, you'll be encouraged to build your expertise, contribute your ideas, and continue developing alongside teammates who are equally committed to doing excellent work. If you're looking for a company where people matter, teamwork matters, and results matter, Pinnacle is a place where you can build a rewarding career.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • $52,000 - $72,800, based on experience
  • Health, dental and vision insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • 401(k) with employer contribution
  • Paid time off, holiday pay and company-paid life insurance
  • Certification and continuing education paid for, including Class A and B operator training
  • Remote work, with flexibility and work measured by what gets done

HOW TO APPLY

Apply through pinnacleems.com/careers. We review applications as they come in and we'll tell you where you stand at each step. If you want to add something beyond the resume, tell us about a portfolio or a site you helped bring back into compliance, what was out of line when you got it, what you did about it, and how you knew it was actually fixed.
