Reliability & Integrity Engineer Jobs in Energy: Demand, Pay & Skills
Part of Plutarch’s ongoing analysis of skill demand in energy hiring — last updated 5 October 2026, based on 90 tracked postings.
As of 5 October 2026, Plutarch tracked 90 unique open Reliability & Integrity Engineer postings at energy employers. 18 postings disclosed annual pay, with a United States median of USD 144,000.
Demand for reliability and integrity engineers is concentrated in the United States, with smaller but notable pockets in Canada, India, Saudi Arabia and Denmark, spanning oil and gas, power, renewables and manufacturing settings. Most titles carry no stated seniority, with a meaningful minority at senior, lead, principal, staff or manager level, and essentially no entry-level or executive-labelled postings. Titles cluster around asset integrity, maintenance engineering, pipeline integrity, corrosion engineering and hardware reliability, reflecting varied industrial contexts rather than one narrow specialism.

Directional, not conclusive. Each figure is the midpoint of a salary range an employer disclosed in a public job posting, derived from public market sources and rounded to the nearest thousand. Samples are small, so a country appears only when at least 5 open postings disclose annual pay. At these sample sizes, do not compare one role’s median against another’s — the difference between them is smaller than the error on either.
How many employers state pay
- United States · pay stated in 20 of 32 postings we could read
- Canada · pay stated in 3 of 6 postings we could read
- India · pay stated in 0 of 2 postings we could read
- United Kingdom · pay stated in 1 of 4 postings we could read
Counted from the same open postings as above, leaving out postings whose text we could not read for pay. Pay disclosure tracks local pay-transparency law more closely than employer policy, so a low rate is not evidence that employers here pay less.

What employers ask for

A skill counts when the posting names it anywhere — requirements, role description or the employer’s own introduction. A skill is shown only when at least 3 postings from at least two employers name it. Postings whose full text we did not read are left out of these counts rather than counted as asking for nothing.

What the postings suggest about filling this role
The mix of unspecified-level roles alongside a sizeable senior-to-manager segment suggests employers are competing for experienced engineers who can work across integrity, maintenance and reliability disciplines, which can slow hiring for the more senior postings. With almost no entry-level pipeline to draw from, employers largely depend on a smaller pool of already-skilled candidates, adding some difficulty to filling these positions quickly.
Read from employer demand only. These sources show what employers advertise, not how many people are available to hire, so this is a reading of the vacancies rather than a measure of scarcity.
