Mechanic II SR

Some of the most iconic engines and compressors ever built are still running today, and they run because skilled hands keep them going.

You'll tear down, inspect, rebuild, and test the equipment that keeps oil & gas, power generation, transportation, and marine operations moving. You'll also grow your skills and help bring up the next generation of mechanics. If you take pride in precision and want a career with a company that treats its people as its strength, this is your next move.
