What is a Steam Tracing job?

A Steam Tracing job involves installing and maintaining steam tracing systems, which use steam-filled tubing to heat pipes, valves, and equipment to prevent freezing or maintain process temperatures. Workers in this role ensure proper insulation, monitor heat levels, and troubleshoot any issues with the tracing system. This job is commonly found in industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, and food manufacturing, where temperature control is critical. Knowledge of steam systems, piping, and safety protocols is essential for this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Steam Tracing position, and why are they important?

To excel in Steam Tracing, candidates typically need a background in pipefitting or industrial maintenance, strong mechanical aptitude, and familiarity with steam systems and heat tracing installation. Proficiency with tools like pipe benders, steam traps, insulation materials, and knowledge of safety regulations and certifications such as OSHA are valuable. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective teamwork are essential soft skills in this role. These skills ensure safe, efficient installation and maintenance of steam tracing systems, which are crucial for maintaining process temperatures in industrial environments.

What are the typical environments and teams that Steam Tracing professionals work in?

Steam Tracing professionals usually work in industrial settings such as refineries, chemical plants, or food processing facilities, where maintaining precise temperatures is critical to operations. They often collaborate closely with process engineers, maintenance crews, and safety officers to ensure systems are properly installed and functioning safely. Projects may require working both indoors and outdoors, sometimes in challenging weather or confined spaces. Team-based work is common, and strong collaboration helps ensure projects are completed efficiently and in compliance with strict safety standards.

Job description

Build reliability into every turn of the wrench

Join a mission to deliver safe, reliable, and efficient operations in an oleochemical refinery. As a process millwright, you blend craftsmanship with discipline—protecting people, equipment, and throughput by maintaining rotating assets, valve and piping systems, thermal equipment, and ASME pressure vessels. You’ll work independently, in a role equivalent to an industrial mechanic in a continuous process plant, where your decisions meaningfully impact uptime.

Your impact
  • Protect: Apply LOTO, confined space, hot work, fall protection, and energy isolation without exception; complete JSAs; use stop-work authority to halt unsafe or high-risk activities.
  • Restore: Rebuild centrifugal and positive displacement pumps; service seals and bearings; align shafts with laser/dial methods; torque couplings and rotating assemblies to spec.
  • Seal: Execute leak-free bolted flange assembly; replace gaskets; follow proper torque sequence and bolt loading; remove/repair/reinstall process valves.
  • Heat and move: Install and maintain steam tracing (bend/flare tubing, set traps, troubleshoot condensate); service shell-and-tube heat exchangers (bundle removal, inspection, reinstallation); support distillation columns, hydrolysis towers, and distillation systems.
  • Contain: Assist with ASME-coded pressure vessel and tower maintenance, including internal entry preparation and reassembly of large vertical vessels.
  • Handle: Rig and move pumps, motors, exchanger bundles, and piping components using slings, shackles, and lifting devices to standard.
  • Fabricate: Measure precisely (micrometers, calipers, dial indicators); run manual machines (lathe, Bridgeport-style mill, drill press, broaching tools); drill/tap/fabricate/modify; machine and fit keyways and shafts.
  • Sustain: Execute preventative and corrective maintenance across hydrolysis, distillation, fractionation, separations, utilities, and logistics systems; keep CMMS records accurate; recommend procedure and reliability improvements; maintain tools, rigging, and shop spaces in safe condition.
  • Mobilize: Support outages, shutdowns, and turnarounds; work extended hours or shifts when needed; perform lubrication activities and equipment inspections; troubleshoot broadly; support TRT's annual shutdown.
What you bringRequired
  • High School Diploma or GED.
  • 3+ years of mechanical maintenance in refinery/chemical/power/heavy industry OR completion of a recognized Industrial Maintenance, Millwright, or Mechanical Technology program.
  • Demonstrated centrifugal pump repair and precision alignment (laser or dial) skill.
  • Knowledgeable in bolted flange assembly.
  • Experienced with manual machining (lathe and milling machine).
  • Can read mechanical drawings, P&IDs, and OEM manuals.
  • Proficient with micrometers, calipers, and dial indicators.
  • Working knowledge of steam systems and steam traps.
  • Competent and safe basic rigger.
  • Understands refinery safety practices and LOTO.
Preferred
  • Formal Millwright/Industrial Mechanic apprenticeship.
  • NCCER Industrial Maintenance or Millwright certification.
  • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30.
  • Confined Space Entry and Fall Protection training.
  • Experience with shell & tube heat exchangers and ASME pressure vessels.
  • Experience in oleochemical, chemical, or refinery operations.
Working conditions
  • All-weather exposure; PPE required; some tasks in confined spaces.
  • Frequent walking, standing, lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying up to 50 lbs.
  • Climb stairs and ladders to 120 feet.
  • Lift equipment up to and exceeding 40 lbs during maintenance.
  • Turn valves, move handles, and perform overhead work.
Technical strengths
  • Mechanical troubleshooting
  • Maintenance and repair
  • Equipment diagnostics & troubleshooting
  • Mechanical systems & component repair
  • Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
  • Equipment repair & maintenance
  • Equipment installation
