Job Description & How to Apply Below
Overview
We're hiring an LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) Technician to support production operations on a client account in the Eagle Ford.
In this role, you'll drive a regional route from well site to well site using a handheld gas analyzer to inspect equipment for leaks, repair what you can on-site, and document your findings. Accurate documentation is critical-if the monitoring isn't documented, it didn't happen from the regulators' perspective.
This is a Monday-Friday position with weekends off, where you'll primarily manage your own daily route. It's an excellent opportunity for someone who is mechanically inclined, self-motivated, and enjoys working independently.
Responsibilities
* Perform leak surveys on production equipment (valves, flanges, fittings, seals, etc.) using a handheld gas analyzer.
* Calibrate the analyzer daily and maintain required certifications.
* Repair leaking components when possible and generate work requests for repairs that cannot be completed in the field.
* Maintain accurate records of all monitoring activities and repairs.
* Conduct emissions testing on engines and compressors and complete required compliance reporting.
* Coordinate with contract LDAR technicians working in the same area.
* Assist with routine production operations and maintenance activities as needed.
* Follow all safety procedures and promote a safe work environment.
Qualifications
* Previous LDAR or fugitive emissions monitoring experience, especially Method 21 using a TVA 1000 or similar analyzer preferred.
* Oilfield production or Lease Operator experience with knowledge of surface equipment, including:
* Wellheads
* Separators
* Compressors
* Artificial lift systems
* Industrial or refinery experience in instrumentation, pipe fitting, welding, operations, or maintenance preferred.
* Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
* Mechanically inclined and comfortable using hand tools and field instruments.
* Solid computer skills (Microsoft Office; client uses SAP for work orders).
* Detail-oriented with strong documentation skills.
* Able to work independently and manage a regional driving schedule.
* H2S awareness and basic safety training (training can be provided if needed).
* Candidates with a strong production operations or industrial maintenance background who are willing to learn the compliance side are encouraged to apply.
Why Danos
* Monday-Friday schedule with weekends off.
* Company vehicle provided.
* Independence to manage your own regional route.
* Training and support to ensure success.
* Opportunity to help keep facilities compliant while protecting the operator, the environment, and the people working in the field.
