We offer a collaborative and supportive environment where you can apply your expertise and grow within our team.
Responsibilities (Vary by Level):
Entry-Level (I):
  • Monitor proper flows, temperatures, pressures, and levels across all plant systems, recognizing deviations and taking corrective action.
  • Operate plant processes using an HMI control system (preferably Delta V, Wonderware, or Ignition).
  • Recognize equipment abnormalities and promptly notify maintenance regarding significant repairs.
  • Record process parameters, complete operating reports, notify of environmental deviations, and implement equipment lockout/tag-out procedures for maintenance and repair.
  • Develop a basic understanding of operational capabilities, including gas/liquid hydraulics, control schemes, and component blending calculations.
  • Follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), adhere to safety protocols, and participate in scheduled on-call/relief duties.

Intermediate (II):
  • Independently operate plant processes using DCS/HMI systems (such as Wonderware) to maintain optimal performance.
  • Monitor and adjust operating parameters while performing both basic and complex blending and system pressure calculations.
  • Identify, document, and report deviations or potential safety and environmental concerns, working closely with maintenance to address issues.
  • Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation of process events and operational reports.
  • Demonstrate an increasing understanding of system operations and assist with the training of entry-level operators.
  • Adhere to PSM regulations and follow established crisis management and incident response protocols.

Senior (III):
  • Operate plant processes independently with minimal supervision, managing all aspects of the natural gas processing facility.
  • Utilize advanced control systems (e.g., Delta V, Wonderware, or equivalent) to perform complex operational tasks, including detailed blending and pressure calculations.
  • Quickly recognize operating deviations, execute corrective measures, and communicate with maintenance regarding significant repairs.
  • Maintain an expert-level understanding of gas/liquid hydraulics, control schemes, operational limits, and upstream/downstream quality specifications.
  • Serve as a technical expert and mentor, providing guidance to lower-level operators and assisting in the development and refinement of SOPs.
  • Ensure strict compliance with PSM regulations, safety protocols, and environmental standards while actively contributing to continuous improvement initiatives.

Qualifications:
  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • Valid driver's license
  • Proficient in operating HMI/DCS control systems (e.g., Delta V, Wonderware, or Ignition).
  • Strong understanding of gas and liquid hydraulics, control schemes, operational limits, and blending calculations.
  • Commitment to adhering to safety policies, PSM regulations, and crisis management/incident response plans.
  • Ability to follow and enforce Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with strong troubleshooting abilities.
  • Basic computer skills, mechanical aptitude, and the ability to work under pressure and varying work conditions.

Experience:
  • Entry-Level (I): 1 year of operating experience in a cryogenic or processing plant environment, preferably in the oil and gas industry.
  • Intermediate (II): 3+ years of operating experience in a cryogenic or processing plant environment, preferably in the oil and gas industry.
  • Senior (III): 5+ years of comprehensive operating experience, including advanced process management in a natural gas processing facility.
