• Perform light mechanical tasks, including maintenance and troubleshooting of pumps, motors, gearboxes, compressors, valves, and rotating equipment.
• Interpret and work from P&IDs, loop diagrams, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and instrument data sheets.
• Operate plant vehicles, hand tools, power lift equipment, man-lifts, and other machinery as needed for I&E tasks in both terminal and refinery unit areas.
• Support commissioning, startups, and modifications of control and electrical systems.
• Conduct routine inspections, testing, and calibration to ensure compliance with company standards and regulatory requirements (Federal and State Regulators).
• Respond promptly to operational alarms, upsets, abnormal conditions, and emergencies involving I&E equipment.
• Maintain accurate records, including work orders, calibration reports, maintenance logs, and spare parts inventory.
• Participate in root cause analysis, emergency response drills, safety meetings, job safety analyses (JSAs), and incident investigations.
• Identify opportunities for improvements in safety, reliability, efficiency, automation, and cost reduction.
• Complete and maintain required qualifications, including HAZWOPER, TWIC, and other company-mandated training.
• Coordinate with operations, maintenance teams, contractors, and control center personnel for scheduled maintenance, repairs, and project support.
• Perform other duties as assigned to support overall operations.

Optional Responsibilities:

• Cross-qualify as an terminal operator to safely assist with Polymer Modified Asphalt (PMA) production, act as Person-in-Charge (PIC) at the dock, and load/unload railcars.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate's degree or technical/vocational training in electrical technology, instrumentation, or related field preferred.
• Minimum 3–5 years of hands-on experience in instrumentation and electrical maintenance within petroleum terminals, refineries, pipelines, or heavy industrial environments.
• Demonstrated knowledge of I&E systems, including analyzers, transmitters, PLCs, DCS, vibration monitoring, and process analyzers.
• Strong working knowledge of industrial electrical systems, control circuits, MCCs, and rotating equipment (pumps, motors).
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical/instrumentation diagrams, P&IDs, loop diagrams, and technical manuals.
• Proven troubleshooting, diagnostic, and problem-solving skills across multi-discipline systems.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and SAP; experience with SCADA or terminal automation software is highly desirable.
• Experience with tools and diagnostic equipment for troubleshooting, repairing, replacing, and testing instrument loops, electrical circuits, and equipment.
• Ability to work a flexible schedule, including availability for after-hours callouts, weekends, and overtime to respond to emergencies.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and teamwork skills with a strong emphasis on safety culture.
• Must hold a valid driver's license and be eligible to obtain and maintain a TWIC card, meeting all company standards for safety-sensitive positions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with transitioning operations or legacy refinery systems, like asphalt and crude units.
• Knowledge of advanced systems including cathodic protection, flow computers, data analytics, or advanced SCADA systems.
• Familiarity with alarm management, process optimization, or vibration analysis in midstream/refinery settings.
• Current certifications in electrical safety, instrumentation (e.g., ISA CCST), or related I&E qualifications.
• Demonstrated adaptability to evolving technologies and expanded operational responsibilities in converted refinery-terminal environments.
