How does an LDAR Technician typically interact with other departments during a workday?

As an LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) Technician, you will regularly collaborate with maintenance, operations, and environmental health & safety teams. Your role involves coordinating with operations staff to schedule inspections, working with maintenance to address identified leaks, and reporting findings to environmental compliance personnel. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as your data and recommendations directly impact regulatory compliance and plant safety. You may also participate in cross-departmental meetings to review progress and develop strategies for reducing fugitive emissions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an LDAR Technician, and why are they important?

To thrive as an LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) Technician, you need a solid understanding of environmental regulations, attention to detail, and a high school diploma or equivalent, with technical training often preferred. Familiarity with gas detection instruments, data loggers, and LDAR software systems is typically required, along with any necessary safety certifications such as OSHA training. Strong observational skills, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication set outstanding LDAR Technicians apart. These skills are crucial for accurately identifying leaks, maintaining regulatory compliance, and ensuring workplace safety in industrial environments.

What are LDAR Techs?

LDAR Techs, or Leak Detection and Repair Technicians, are professionals responsible for identifying and repairing leaks of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other gases in industrial facilities such as refineries, chemical plants, and manufacturing sites. Their main job is to use specialized equipment, like gas analyzers and infrared cameras, to detect leaks in valves, pumps, connectors, and other equipment. By finding and repairing these leaks, LDAR Techs help facilities comply with environmental regulations and reduce harmful emissions. This role is critical for safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection.

LDAR Specialist (Traveling)
Location: Must live near New Orleans or Baton Rouge area
Travel: 25-50% (regional travel)
Also Known As: LDAR Specialist, Senior LDAR Technician, LDAR Field Lead
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced LDAR tech who's ready to step up into a lead role. This is not an entry-level position, you'll be expected to run jobs, support crews, manage databases, communicate with clients, and be the point person on site when needed.
If you've been a strong LDAR tech or have experience in MOC or mechanical integrity and are ready for more responsibility, this is a solid next step.
What You'll Do
  • Lead LDAR jobs at client sites and help manage day-to-day field operations
  • Act as the on-site lead/supervisor when assigned
  • Run monitoring using EPA Method 21 (valves, pumps, connectors, etc.)
  • Check field work for quality and accuracy
  • Manage LDAR databases and ensure data is accurate and up to date
  • Communicate directly with clients regarding project status, findings, and needs
  • Help plan schedules, routes, and job coverage
  • Travel to different sites as needed (25-50%)
  • Help train and support newer technicians
  • Step in wherever needed to keep jobs on track

What We're Looking For
  • 3+ years of LDAR experience or related plant experience (MOC, mechanical integrity, inspection, etc.)
  • Someone who can work independently and take ownership of a site
  • Prior lead or "go-to" tech experience is a big plus
  • Comfortable traveling and working in different plants
  • Good communication and dependable work ethic

Work Environment
  • Refineries and chemical plants
  • Outdoor work in all weather conditions
  • Walking units, climbing, and working in PPE (FRs, hard hat, etc.)

Why PROtect?
At PROtect, our team members are more than just field staff, they're trusted professionals working on critical infrastructure across the country.
We don't just hire for a job, we build careers. Want to move into supervision? We'll help you get there.
Interested in expanding beyond LDAR into other service lines? We'll support that growth.
Looking for stability with advancement opportunities? You'll find it here.
PROtect Perks
  • Health, Dental, Vision
  • HSA/FSA + Company Match
  • 401(k) with 4% Match (100% Vested Day One)
  • PTO
  • Continued Education Reimbursement
