Job Description About the Role Start your shift with a toolbox talk, review the Job Safety Analysis (JSA), and lock out energy sources before you touch a bolt. From there, your day blends precision craft with problem-solving: laser-aligning a motor to a centrifugal pump, rebuilding a positive displacement unit, installing steam tracing on a new line, or torquing a critical flange to spec. You may prep an ASME pressure vessel for internal entry, pull a heat exchanger bundle, or machine a keyway on the Bridgeport-style mill—all while keeping detailed notes in the CMMS. As a hands-on expert, you work with limited supervision, exercise sound judgment, and uphold stringent safety, environmental, and quality standards. This position mirrors the scope of an industrial mechanic or millwright within a continuous process manufacturing environment. What You'll Do Safety & Compliance • Follow plant safety programs at all times: Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), confined space entry, hot work permitting, fall protection, and energy isolation procedures., • Identify hazards and control risks through JSAs and adherence to established procedures., • Stop any job that threatens personnel safety, equipment integrity, or operations. Rotating Equipment Maintenance, • Diagnose, disassemble, inspect, repair, and reassemble centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, including seals and bearings., • Perform precision shaft alignment using laser tools and dial indicators., • Install and torque couplings, bearings, and rotating assemblies to manufacturer and plant specifications. Valves, Piping & Flanges, • Remove, inspect, repair, and reinstall process valves., • Execute bolted flange assembly using best practices to achieve leak-free joints., • Replace gaskets with correct torque sequencing and bolt loading., • Support piping modifications and mechanical installations. Steam Systems & Thermal Equipment, • Install and maintain steam tracing: bend and flare tubing, install steam traps, and troubleshoot condensate systems., • Maintain shell-and-tube heat exchangers, including bundle removal, inspection, and reinstallation., • Support work on distillation columns, hydrolysis towers, and distillation systems. Pressure Vessels & Process Equipment, • Assist with maintenance of ASME-coded pressure vessels and refinery process towers., • Prepare for inspections, manage internal entry prep, and support reassembly of large vertical vessels. Rigging & Handling, • Perform basic rigging to safely move pumps, motors, exchanger bundles, and piping components., • Inspect and correctly use slings, shackles, and lifting devices per safety standards. Machine Shop & Fabrication, • Take precision measurements with micrometers, calipers, and dial indicators., • Operate manual equipment: engine lathe, Bridgeport-style milling machine, drill press, and broaching tools., • Drill, tap, fabricate, and modify parts to support maintenance needs., • Machine and fit keyways and shafts for rotating equipment repairs. Preventative & Predictive Maintenance, • Perform preventative and corrective maintenance across hydrolysis, distillation, fractionation, separations, utilities, and logistics systems., • Document work accurately in the CMMS., • Recommend improvements to procedures and reliability practices., • Keep tools, rigging gear, and shop areas in safe, serviceable condition. Outages & Operations Support, • Participate in major outages, shutdowns, and turnarounds., • Work extended hours or shifts as required during outages., • Provide lubrication, inspection, and general mechanical troubleshooting support. Qualifications Required, • High School Diploma or GED., • 3+ years of industrial mechanical maintenance experience in a refinery, chemical plant, power plant, or similar heavy industrial setting OR completion of a recognized Industrial Maintenance, Millwright, or Mechanical Technology program., • Hands-on experience with centrifugal pump repair and precision alignment (laser or dial)., • Working knowledge of bolted flange assembly practices., • Experience operating manual machine tools (lathe and milling machine)., • Ability to read mechanical drawings, P&IDs, and equipment manuals., • Proficiency with micrometers, calipers, and dial indicators., • Working knowledge of steam systems and steam traps., • Ability to safely perform rigging tasks., • Knowledge of LOTO and refinery safety procedures. Preferred, • Formal Millwright or Industrial Mechanic apprenticeship., • NCCER Industrial Maintenance or Millwright certification., • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification., • Confined Space Entry and Fall Protection training., • Experience with shell & tube heat exchangers and ASME pressure vessels., • Background in oleochemical, chemical, or refinery operations.
