About Archaea
bp is committed to investing in lower carbon energy so we can meet our ambition to reach net zero by 2050. And while we’re still mostly in oil and gas today, bioenergy is one of our five transition growth engines and a key focus to help us support the global energy transition.
Archaea Energy, a bp company, is a leader in landfill gas to energy and the largest renewable natural gas (RNG) producer in the US. With big ambitions, we specialize in the development, construction and operation of RNG, landfill‑gas‑to‑electric and dairy digester facilities. The team operates around 50 sites in 32 states with a robust development pipeline.
About The Role At our Green Meadows facility in Hilbert, WI, we convert landfill gas into pipeline quality natural gas (High Btu or Renewable Natural Gas). Our Operations Technician operates the landfill gas processing facility. We process the landfill gas by removing the majority of the non‑methane components including CO₂, water, sulfur and volatile and non‑volatile organic compounds to attain pipeline quality.
The RNG Operator will operate and maintain Landfill gas to High BTU processing facility; which will include Guild gas process, Gas Compressors, CO₂ removal system, Thermal‑Oxidizers, and H₂S removal systems. We also perform intermediate to sophisticated level Instrument and Control repair, maintenance, calibration and solving.
The work schedule for this position will be Mon‑Fri 7am‑3:30pm. Must be available for on‑call duty on a rotating basis. The schedule is subject to change per business needs and management discretion.
Key Accountabilities
Own the safe operation of the plant during assigned shift in the most efficient and productive method to maintain compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) and prescribed safety and environmental standards.
Make periodic inspections of plant equipment to resolve accurate and normal operating conditions. Check and record operational data such as fluid levels, temperatures and pressures, compare to trends and have the ability to make corrections as needed.
Review daily operating reports and other records to ensure specified operating characteristics in control of the plant equipment.
Perform preventive maintenance and solving on plant instrumentation and equipment.
Detect and correct faulty and malfunctioning mechanical and electrical components, devices and equipment.
Operate sophisticated instrumentation and process control systems.
Test electrical systems and continuity of circuits in electrical wiring, equipment, and fixtures using testing devices such as ohmmeters and voltmeters.
Tackle and repair electrical system wiring from control wiring up to 480 volts. Install, remove and modify equipment.
Advise Lead Operation Technician and Regional Manager of shutdown or major changes in power output of unit.
