Our people are your people
The cornerstone of PipeSense isn’t our ultra high-frequency technology or machine learning models. It’s you, and it’s us.
We created PipeSense because we believe in a world where operators can sleep through the night and parents don’t have to think twice about letting their kids play nearby operating pipelines. And ever since, our daily actions, innovation and approach to customer support has been driven by people: our people, your people and all the people who share real estate with your pipelines.
Simply put, we’re a team of engineers, operators, business minds and problem-solvers who refuse to accept that preventable leaks and false positives are just part of life on the line.
A team that’s been in your boots
You won’t find our leaders behind desks. They’re in the field speaking with operators, collaborating alongside engineers to optimize our technology and brainstorming what the next big pipeline innovation will be. Because leadership isn’t just about throwing big ideas up on a whiteboard. It’s about making those ideas a reality — and seeing them make a real, measurable impact on people’s lives.
