Hands-on skill. High-stakes equipment. Work you can point to.

Behind every natural gas compressor Cooper sends back into the field is a team that took it apart, made it right, and proved it works before it ever leaves the shop. In Marshall, Texas, that's the Mechanic II team - and we're looking for someone who takes the same pride in a clean teardown and a solid test run that we do.

If you know your way around manual, pneumatic, and hydraulic tools, read prints without blinking, and want work that's physical, technical, and genuinely important to keep the country's energy infrastructure running, this is your shop.

• Set up and run test operations to confirm equipment meets spec before it ships.
• Conduct risk assessments before operations and material movements.
• Troubleshoot and perform minor maintenance on mechanical equipment.
• Keep your work area safe, clean, and organized, and follow all EHS policies and regulations.

WHO YOU ARE

• High school diploma or GED required.

• Physically able to push, pull, lift, bend, and stay active through a full shift.
• Valid driver's license.
• Solid basic math skills and the ability to read schematics.
