Job Title: Junior I&C Technician or I&C Technician Apprentice

We have Turnarounds and Projects from August 2025 through the end of November 2025, and Turnarounds and Projects in throughout 2026. Start and end dates vary by location, depending on your Technical Assessment that determines which site you’ll fit best, as there are different needs at different sites.

If you can pass qualifications on basic Instrumentation (which may include quizzes, an interview, and a hands-on assessment), then the pay rate right out of school is $35.00/hr
, and the experience you gain is priceless.

Per diem ranges from $130/day to $150/day depending on the site. Travel Pay in and out is paid up to 8 hours of straight time from your legal address.

Most jobs range from 6/10s to 7/12s, but no more than 13 days in a row without a day off.

The preferred way is to apply here:

Or, you can follow these steps:

• First – Email Olena at
• Second – Olena will reach out to assess interest (note: she is located in Europe; expect contact from early morning to early afternoon).
• Third – Olena will send a link to review Instrumentation and Controls categories and choose between Novice, Competent, Proficient, or Expert.
• Fourth – We’ll create an Assessment based on your answers and interview with an I&C Team Member. If you don’t know about certain topics, the assessment will reflect that.
• Fifth – After the Assessment, we’ll indicate where we need you most; you’ll be called first for matching work and won’t need to undergo a new Assessment.

FAQs include how we assess capabilities, whether NCCER or ISA CCST are accepted, and sample quiz topics. We still have an interview process, but it is shorter for ISA CCST. We can provide sample quizzes broken into smaller subjects with 10 questions each. Topics include:

• Perform routine inspections, calibrations, and functional checks on a comprehensive range of instrumentation
• Flow Instruments: Ultrasonic (transit-time, doppler), magnetic, Coriolis, vortex, variable area, thermal mass, turbine, and DP-based flowmeters with primary flow elements (orifice plates, venturis, pitot tubes)
• Level Instruments: Radar (free-space, guided wave), magnetostrictive, displacer level transmitters, capacitance, ultrasonic, DP level, and float-based systems
• Pressure Instruments: Pressure transmitters, pneumatic and electronic pressure switches, differential pressure transmitters, and pressure gauges
• Temperature Instruments: RTDs, thermocouples, thermowells, infrared sensors, bimetallic thermometers, and fiber-optic temperature measurement devices
• Analytical Instruments: pH, conductivity, oxygen analyzers, moisture analyzers, dew point analyzers, gas analyzers, continuous emission monitors, and process gas chromatographs
• Vibration Instruments: Accelerometers, velocity probes, eddy-current displacement sensors, and portable vibration analyzers for rotating machinery health monitoring

• Test and troubleshoot a variety of control valves (rotary, butterfly, globe, gate, ball) and associated components, including solenoids, limit switches, position transmitters, I/P converters, positioners, volume tanks, and valve actuators (pneumatic, hydraulic, electric)
• Ensure reliable operation, accurate positioning, proper fail-safe modes, and tight control to support stable process conditions

• Work with both analog (4-20 mA, 1-5
  
  VDC) and digital communication protocols (HART, Foundation Fieldbus, Modbus, Device Net, Profibus)
• Troubleshoot and maintain wireless instrumentation solutions (e.g., Wireless
  
  HART, Bluetooth) to ensure secure, reliable data transmission in real-time operating units

• Be able to walk through a P&, Loop Drawing, and Motor Control Schematic
