About The Position

It’s that time again. We know it’s probably the best job market there’s been for I&C Professionals in the last 30 years, and it only looks to get better, so let’s see if we can make a good argument on why we want the best and brightest, like you, to come work with us. For starters, everyone on our Team genuinely cares about the quality of work we do. Are we perfect? No, but we do understand the importance of working mistake -free is vital to the safety of the facilities we work in and goes hand in hand with our reputation. Do we know everything? Absolutely not, but we are not afraid to raise our hands and ask questions when in doubt. We also know no one on our Team will judge us, or you, for not knowing something, which means you get to work in an environment where you can actually build upon the knowledge you already have. Do Clients trust us? They do, and they do so because we do our best to be thorough and work hard to understand exactly what it is we are testing, and why and how. Does this mean our Team members get opportunities to perform work that someone may not get with another Contractor? In some instances, this is a true statement. Because we have earned the trust of many Clients, we are the go -to people. Do we pay well? In most instances, yes. Because we have set the bar high, we are able to pay our Team members higher than average in most cases. There are some contracts we have with Clients that have been in place for a while that have rates that have not kept up with the cost of living. So, sometimes we will be higher, and sometimes we won’t, but we do try our best to pay Team Members well and we are always trying to improve our rates. Are we willing to train people? Yes, of course. We want people who want to kill us with questions. The future is yours to take. Are we willing to let you train us? Absolutely! If you can make our Team better, then we’ll be your best students. We have Turnarounds and Projects from August of 2025 through the end of November 2025, and then Turnarounds and Projects in throughout 2026. Start and end dates vary by location, so it will really depend on your Technical Assessment that determines which site we think you’ll fit in best at, as there are different needs at different sites. If you can pass qualifications on basic Instrumentation which may included quizzes, an interview, and a hands -on assessment, then the pay rate right our of school is $35.00/hr., and the experience you'll gain, priceless. Per diem ranges from $130/day to $150/day depending on the site. Travel Pay in and out is paid up to 8 hours of straight time from your legal address. Most jobs range from 6/10s to 7/12s, but no more than 13 days in a row without a day off.
