You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive process improvements that enhance safety, reliability, and efficiency. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a hands-on, fast-paced environment within an industry-leading test facility. Our state-of-the-art test facility allows us to provide performance tests and demonstrations of our technologies such as burners, flares, and thermal oxidizers prior to shipping equipment to a client's facility. In addition, the facility is utilized for new technology innovation and testing for the markets that we serve including international refining, petro-chemical, and power generation markets. What You Will Do Perform calibrations and functional checks on combustion emission analyzers, transmitters, and various test instrumentation to ensure accurate and reliable data. Execute routine preventive maintenance and inspections on safety-related instrumentation to support safe and compliant operations. Support the installation and setup of instrumentation, control systems, and electrical equipment for R&D testing, including equipment layout, wiring, and field verification of metering, control, and safety devices. Diagnose and repair instrumentation and control system issues to minimize downtime and ensure testing continuity. Collaborate with engineers and technicians to develop and implement process improvements that enhance safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. Maintain accurate documentation of calibrations, maintenance activities, and system configurations for compliance and continuous improvement efforts. Participate in cross-functional project teams to support the development and commissioning of new test systems and upgrades. The Experience You Will Bring Requirements (Basic Qualifications): Knowledge of basic methods and techniques for electrical/instrument equipment calibration, troubleshooting, and diagnostics. Knowledge of electrical and electronic circuits and able to interpret electrical schematics and one-line drawings. High school diploma or GED. Physical Requirements: Must be able to become certified and work at heights up to 100 feet using aerial lifts. Able to work full-time outdoors in all weather conditions while wearing full flame-resistant (FR) coveralls. Able to lift and carry up to 50 pounds as needed. Willing and able to work 10-hour shifts, including scheduled and unscheduled overtime. What Will Put You Ahead: An electrical journeyman's license and has completed a technical school program or holds an associate's degree or higher. Familiarity with Allen Bradley PLC Control Logix and Wonderware SCADA systems. Experience calibrating and maintaining combustion analyzers and process instruments using HART communicators. Skilled in electric heat trace installation, troubleshooting, and working with 480-volt electrical systems.
