Lubricants Technician

The Lubricants Technician, Savannah safely loads and unloads trucks, moves inventory within our warehouse, and moves finished material from the production lines to inventory storage locations. The Savannah Lubricants plant produces a wide range of motor oils, transmission fluids, hydraulic fluids, and other lubricants. The Plant receives base oil feed stock and additives via water-borne vessels, railcars, and trucks. These feed stocks are offloaded into storage tanks.

From the storage tanks, the base oil and additives are sent through computerized batch blenders and inline blenders to produce a finished product. The finished product is then sent to our package lines where automatic filling systems and conveyors place it into containers. The finished product is then shipped out via trucks and rail to customers. We provide a safe and environmentally responsible workplace and have a positive impact on the local community.
