About the Role

Who Makes a Great Fit?
We have found that individuals with the following backgrounds transition perfectly into this role:
The "Farm Kid": You grew up fixing machinery, understand how things work, and aren't afraid of a hard day's labor. We will gladly train the right person from scratch if you have the drive.

Pipefitters & Millwrights: You already understand process systems, valves, and flanges.
High-Rise Scaffolders: You are completely comfortable working at extreme heights and have top-tier physical stamina.

Competitive Compensation: Earn $35.00 – $37.00 per hour based on experience, with premium rates available for candidates holding EPA or Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) certifications.

Advanced Technology Experience: Master industry-leading inspection technologies, including Method 21, acoustics, and infrared systems.

Dynamic, Independent Work: Escape the desk and enjoy hands-on field work where your daily efforts make an immediate environmental and operational impact.
