Our Vetting Process

The Safety
Dossier

Five rigorous steps between application and deployment. Every inspector earns their place on the line.

STEP 01

Sourcing & Recruitment

We actively source inspectors with verified field experience on mainline pipeline projects — not just certifications on paper.

STEP 02

Certification Verification

Every AWS CWI, NACE / AMPP, and API certification is independently verified directly with the issuing body. No shortcuts.

STEP 03

Technical Interview

A hands-on technical interview with our senior pipeline inspection team to confirm code knowledge and field readiness.

STEP 04

Client Connection

We match the inspector's discipline, experience level, and certifications to your specific project requirements — aligning the right talent with the right scope.

STEP 05

Project Placement

Inspectors are mobilized to the site with project-specific documentation, site inductions, and continuous support throughout the deployment.

About Mainline

Built by Pipeline
Professionals

Mainline Staffing Group was founded with one mission: to be the definitive source for pipeline inspection talent in the oil and gas industry. We don't staff desks — we staff the right-of-way.

Our team understands the demands of pipeline construction because we've been there. From 36-inch mainline spreads in the Permian Basin to compressor station tie-ins in Appalachia, we know what it takes to keep a project on schedule and in compliance.

When an asset owner needs a CWI who can read API 1104 in their sleep, or an NDE crew that can handle 200+ welds per day — they call Mainline.

Precision First

Every inspector we deploy meets the exact technical specifications your project demands. No filler, no compromises.

Industry Insiders

Founded by pipeline professionals who've walked the right-of-way. We speak your language because we've lived it.

Rapid Response

When your spread needs inspectors yesterday, we mobilize within 24 hours. Downtime on the line isn't an option.

Safety Culture

Zero-incident is the only target. Every inspector is screened for safety performance history before deployment.
