– What you’ll do:

• Carry out oil and water sampling, testing, and technical reporting
• Support refinery operations in hydrocarbon process and water treatment areas
• Manage on-site inventory and keep clear, accurate records

• Local or able to travel if remote
• Any experience with refinery operations, chemical handling or industrial lab work is a strong bonus
