Job description

Your Compliance Expert!

Launch Your Career. Travel the Country. Protect the Environment.

AtTanknology , we do more than inspect tanks, we help protect communities and the environment from fuel leaks across the United States. As the largest company in the world dedicated to environmental compliance for fuel systems, we’re growing fast and looking for motivated individuals ready to start a hands‑on career with real opportunity.

No industry experience? No problem. If you’re mechanically inclined, enjoy working independently, and like the idea of traveling while building valuable technical skills, we’ll train you for success.

Why This Job Stands Out

This is not your typical “sit behind a desk” job.

As a Cathodic Protection Technician, you’ll travel throughout a multi‑state region, work outdoors and on real‑world industrial sites, and become part of a highly specialized field that is always in demand. You’ll gain technical certifications, operate company‑provided equipment, and enjoy the freedom of working independently while exploring new places.

What You’ll Get

• Paid training in a growing technical trade
• Extensive regional travel with hotel accommodations provided
• Generous daily per diem while traveling
• Company vehicle you can take home
• Company gas card, tools, equipment, tablet, and uniforms
• Opportunities to work in multiple states and diverse environments
• Consistent year‑round work, no seasonal layoffs
• Career advancement opportunities into senior technical or leadership roles
• Best‑in‑class health, dental, and vision insurance
• Low employee healthcare costs and deductibles
• Benefits eligibility in as little as 14 days
• 401(k) with company contribution
• Paid certifications and ongoing technical training
• Wellness programs, referral bonuses, and disability coverage
• Paid travel time and mileage support
• Strong work‑life support while on the road

What You’ll Do

Our Field Service and Cathodic Protection Technicians are the face of Tanknology in the field. You’ll work on fuel storage systems at commercial and industrial sites across the region using advanced testing equipment and proprietary technology.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Performing site inspections and technical assessments
• Testing underground fuel storage tanks and piping systems
• Installing and servicing cathodic protection equipment
• Recording and analyzing test data using company software
• Troubleshooting field issues and communicating findings with operations teams
• Managing inventory and supplies in your company vehicle
• Working independently after completing training
• Want to start a long‑term career with growth potential
• Enjoy traveling and working in different locations
• Have mechanical aptitude or hands‑on experience
• Are comfortable using basic math and technology
• Like working independently and solving problems
• Can communicate professionally with teammates and customers
• Can lift up to 70 lbs and work in active field environments
• Are safety‑focused and willing to follow technical procedures
• Can pass DOT physicals, background checks, and drug screening in accordance with applicable laws

Helpful but Not Required

Experience in trades, construction, electrical work, industrial environments, commercial driving, or mechanical repair is a plus. Familiarity with DC voltage or Ohm’s Law is helpful, but we will train the right candidate.

Start a Career That Takes You Places

This is an opportunity to build a specialized career while traveling, learning valuable technical skills, and making a real environmental impact. Many of our technicians started with little or no industry experience and built rewarding long‑term careers with us.
