Young Pipeline Professionals Europe

Author: Sameera Naib

The Young Pipeline Professionals Europe (YPPE) is a group of highly motivated young professionals working within the pipeline industry with the aim of knowledge sharing to ensure the longevity of the industry, addressing the industry's skill shortage and foster relationships. YPPE was founded in 2018 to connect both new and experienced professionals working within the pipeline industry across the continent. We are now a group of more than 320 young pipeline professionals with a vested interest in advancing the pipeline industry to a safe and sustainable future.

YPPE has been active in providing several opportunities for its members to develop themselves in several aspects in their career. Discounted entry to selected pipeline conferences, invites to technical demonstrations in person or via webinar, speaking engagements and opportunity to host an event/webinar of your work are a few of them. On top of rising costs, Europe’s companies are facing another worry – the lack of skilled workers – which is becoming more prominent than ever before. It's clear that talent retention and development are critical for the ongoing success of the industry. Within this maelstrom of demand the pipeline industry needs to make its voice heard. Thankfully, the YPPE have the perfect medicine to this ailment!

The group aims to build a network of likeminded young pipeline professionals to holistically develop the industry at a grassroots level. The YPPE welcomes all age groups, with those under 35 becoming associate members and those over 35 supporting members, acting as mentors to the wider group. Membership is free and includes access to a variety of events, seminars, our quarterly newsletter and even discounts to major pipeline events. We have already hosted several successful events, with more planned.
