Job description

You’re not looking for another classroom, you want to start working on real instrumentation.

You’ll work Monday through Thursday, 7:00 AM-5:30 PM, at $40/hr. More importantly, you’ll get exposure to a wide range of instrumentation instead of getting stuck doing the same task every day.

You’ll spend your time learning and doing things like:

• Set up, troubleshoot, repair, configure, and calibrate electronic, pneumatic, analytical, and hydraulic instrumentation


• Work with level, temperature, pressure, flow, pH, gas detection, and conductivity applications


• Learn to work from P&IDs, loop drawings, ladder logic, and electrical schematics


• Set up pneumatic and electronic control valves and positioners


• Calibrate electronic and pneumatic transmitters and calculate LRV/URV


• Gain hands-on exposure to DP transmitters, radar and magnetostrictive level devices, magmeters, vortex meters, and more


• Build mechanical skills through small-bore pipefitting, minor conduit repair, and stainless tubing work

What you get:

$40/hr, a four-day workweek, and the opportunity to build refinery instrumentation experience across both maintenance and project work. You’ll also develop skills that can take you well beyond an entry-level position.

Who you are:

You’ve got mechanical aptitude and genuinely want to make instrumentation your trade. An associate degree in instrumentation is the best-case background; an instrumentation certificate or relevant coursework/training can also put you in the conversation. You’ll need to be willing to obtain a TWIC for site access, and you need to be comfortable with climbing and occasional use of a breathing apparatus.
