​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 with the help of Michelle Unger and 5 young engineers 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. We aim to grow this number through educational, social, and networking events, while connecting young professionals with pipeline experts throughout Europe.

We are focused on career development and industry involvement. It is important to develop a sense of pride and belonging for our members and facilitate the transfer of knowledge from experienced pipeliners to the next generation of professionals.
