As operations begin, you monitor transfer rates, confirm scrubber performance, and log readings. Mid-shift, you coordinate preventive maintenance on valves and review inspection checklists. A leak alarm drill? You lead the response, execute protocols, and debrief to drive continuous improvement. Throughout the evening, you coach operators, align with Production, Maintenance, EHS, and Logistics, and keep tanks, transfers, and inventory moving safely and efficiently.

• Serve as first responder for chlorine-related incidents, executing emergency, leak response, and evacuation procedures.
• Coordinate inspections, preventive maintenance, and repairs for tanks, piping, valves, scrubbers, and monitoring systems.
• Track and reconcile chlorine inventories; complete logs, manifests, inspections, and compliance documents accurately.
• Provide daily direction, on-the-job training, and coaching; reinforce a strong safety culture and qualification standards.
