What is a hydro tester?

A Hydro Tester is responsible for conducting hydrostatic tests on pipes, tanks, and pressure vessels to ensure they can withstand operational pressures without leaks or failures. They use water or other test fluids, pressurize the system, and monitor pressure readings for any signs of weakness. The role requires knowledge of testing procedures, safety protocols, and the ability to read technical specifications. Hydro Testers often work in industries like oil and gas, manufacturing, and construction.

What does a hydro tester do?

As a Hydro Tester, your typical day involves preparing and setting up equipment for hydrostatic tests, inspecting pipes or vessels for potential leaks, monitoring pressure gauges, and recording results according to specific safety and quality standards. You may work both indoors and outdoors, depending on the industry and project location, and often collaborate with welders, quality inspectors, and supervisors. The role requires careful adherence to safety guidelines and detailed documentation of all testing procedures. While the work is hands-on and sometimes physically demanding, it offers opportunities to develop specialized skills in quality assurance and advance into supervisory or inspection roles over time.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a hydro tester?

To succeed as a Hydro Tester, you need a solid understanding of hydrostatic testing procedures, mechanical aptitude, and attention to detail, often supported by a high school diploma or technical training. Familiarity with pressure testing equipment, safety protocols, and sometimes certification such as OSHA training are commonly required. Strong problem-solving skills, teamwork, and the ability to communicate clearly help you excel in this role. These skills and qualities are crucial for ensuring the integrity and safety of pipes, vessels, and systems being tested under pressure.

Cathodic Protection Technician

Structural Integrity Associates, Inc

Denver, CO • On-site

$71K - $91K/yr

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted 13 days ago

Job description

SIA is seeking an experienced Cathodic Protection (CP) Technician to support a growing field backlog. This role is field-forward and hands-on: the right candidate is someone who can mobilize to a client site, execute complex CP testing and troubleshooting work competently and independently, and produce defensible data and reports. While the position primarily supports nuclear clients, prior nuclear experience is not required as strong CP fundamentals from any complex industrial setting (power, petrochemical, midstream, terminals, refining, large-scale industrial sites) translate directly.
This position is based in our Denver, CO office. Candidates must be willing and able to relocate to the Denver metro area; relocation assistance is provided. Outside of travel, the schedule is hybrid and flexible, there is no mandated in-office cadence, and the individual sets their own balance between home and office work.
Primary Responsibilities:
  • Conduct specialized corrosion and cathodic protection surveys; analyze data and produce field reports. Engineering support is available for formal report development, but candidates who can independently draft client-ready technical reports are strongly preferred.
  • Assess and troubleshoot existing impressed-current and galvanic CP systems; recommend repairs and improvements.
  • Support the design, installation, commissioning, testing, and maintenance of CP systems in plant environments with complex underground piping networks.
  • Provide scope and pricing input for CP-related client proposals in coordination with project and client managers.
  • Support or present at industry meetings (AMPP, NACE-affiliated events, EPRI, industry working groups) on CP best practices and methodology.
  • Contribute to the ongoing development of SIA's internal CP data management tools.
  • Apply human performance fundamentals and a strong safety mindset on every site assignment; nuclear-site work in particular demands rigorous adherence to procedure use, peer checks, and error-prevention tools.
  • Travel 40-60%, typically in one- to two-week intervals, with occasional longer-duration assignments.

Required Skills/Qualifications:
  • AMPP (formerly NACE) CP Level II certification at hire. Equivalent demonstrable experience may be considered, but the candidate must be capable of testing into CP II within the first review cycle.
  • 2+ years of field experience in CP testing and troubleshooting; 5+ years strongly preferred.
  • CP experience in plant, station, terminal, or other complex industrial environments - i.e., environments with congested underground piping, multiple structures, foreign-line interference, and AC/DC stray current considerations.
  • Ability to plan and execute field assignments independently, including writing or adapting test procedures for site-specific conditions.
  • Strong oral and written communication; the role requires direct client interface and the production of formal deliverables.
  • Strong problem identification and resolution skills.
  • Demonstrated safety consciousness and attention to error-prevention; comfortable working under formal procedure-use, configuration-control, and FME-style work environments.
  • Self-starter who can manage their own schedule across multiple concurrent assignments.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel in particular).
  • Project management experience.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • AMPP CP Level III (Technologist) or CP Specialist.
  • Degree in engineering or physical-science discipline.
  • Prior experience at nuclear, fossil, or hydro generating stations.
  • Experience with onsite leadership of multi-discipline field projects.
  • Familiarity with CP data management platforms.
  • Programming (Python, LabView)

Pay Range:
The expected salary range for this role in Denver, CO is $71,960 to $91,200 annually. Exact pay will be commensurate with experience.

Certain positions at SIA may require access to information and technology which is subject to Export Administration Regulations 15 CFR 730-774, including those of the US Department of Energy (DOE) in 10 CFR 810 and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 10 CFR Part 110.
