  • Complete required permits, entry logs, daily reports, checklists, and timesheets accurately and on time.
  • Maintain clear communication with customers, coworkers, supervisors, and management.
  • Follow all company safety policies, OSHA requirements, and customer-specific procedures.
  • Maintain clean, organized jobsites, vehicles, trailers, and equipment.
  • Work effectively as part of a team in a fast-paced, self-directed environment.
  • Learn new technical skills and equipment to help solve jobsite and operational challenges.
Training Provided

You'll receive training and certification in areas such as:

  • Confined Space Rescue
  • Rope Rescue
  • Respirator Safety
  • First Aid & CPR
  • OSHA & General Safety
  • Jobsite-specific equipment and procedures
What We're Looking For
  • High school diploma/GED preferred.
  • At least 1 year of industry-related experience preferred; equivalent education and experience may be considered.
  • Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
  • Ability to pass required physical and respirator fit testing.
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 75 lbs.
  • Comfortable working at heights, in confined spaces, and in congested industrial environments.
  • Ability to climb ladders, catwalks, scaffolds, and work safely at elevated heights.
  • Willingness to work outdoors in varying and adverse weather conditions.
  • Ability to wear required PPE, including respirators, hard hats, safety glasses, and safety footwear.
  • Basic computer skills, including Microsoft Word and Excel.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to remain alert and focused throughout the shift.
  • Willingness to work overtime and travel, including extended assignments of up to 2 weeks as business needs require.
  • Ability to work safely in a drug- and alcohol-free workplace.
