About The Position
We are seeking highly experienced hydro-milling technicians for industrial cleaning and turnaround projects. This is specialized, high-skill work — we are looking for people with a proven track record in hydro-milling specifically, not general water-jetting hands looking to learn it on the job. Location is flexible; willingness to travel is a plus, and per diem is available for out-of-area work. Pay: Depending on experience (DOE). Top pay for proven, fully-credentialed hydro-milling specialists. Strong performers will be considered for ongoing, long-term work.
Requirements
- Significant hands-on hydro-milling experience
- Proficiency with automated/indexing equipment and rigid lance/mole tooling
- Comfortable working at high and ultra-high pressures with strict adherence to safe-system procedures
- Prior turnaround experience in petrochemical, refining, or heavy industrial settings
- Self-directed, safety-first work ethic and ability to mentor less-experienced crew
- Operator Certification & Qualification
- WJTA Foundational Training (FT) and Field Verification (FV) credentials
- Current, verifiable credentials in Safety Essentials (e.g., BASICPlus / Safety Council orientation)
- TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential)
- H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide awareness/clearance)
- Confined Space Entry
- Jet-resistant blast suit (meta-aramid or equivalent ballistic-rated material)
- Full-face shield
- Metatarsal foot guards, heavy-duty waterproof gloves, hearing protection, and respiratory protection where airborne debris is present
- Strict adherence to safe-system rules: never operate above the pressure rating of the lowest-rated component, never work on a pressurized system, and ensure whip checks are installed on all pressure connections.
