Tank Builder / Welder (Nationwide)

Phillips Tank and Structure

Job Title

Phillips Tank & Structure (PTS) is no ordinary tank construction company. We specialize in the complex and fast-paced environment of tank repair on a nationwide scale. No two tanks are alike, so when they need repair, they often pose unique or complicated technical issues. Our experienced engineering staff are well-versed in API 650, API 653, AWWA D100, AWWA D103, API 12D, and other tank specifications. We build and repair welded above-ground storage tanks (ASTs), bolted tanks, and related structures. We also inspect, install, and repair tank systems such as aluminum geodesic dome covers, aluminum internal floating roofs (IFRs), IFR mechanical shoe seals, liquid level gauges, fire protection systems, silo support structures, industrial storage tanks, and heating and insulation systems.

Statement of Purpose: To provide satisfying, long-term work opportunities for our dedicated employees - We believe that there is pride to be gained in performing productive work, and there should be great satisfaction in achieving results as a team. Our efforts will be spent towards continuously improving the health, strength, and quality of the company. We believe our collective success will generate value that supports our families and benefits our communities.

The PTS Difference:

  • Our people are our #1 priority.
  • Teamwork is the best way to solve problems.
  • Safety is critical. Everyone is responsible for creating a safe work environment.
  • We strive to find new and better ways of doing things every day.
  • Clear expectations and directions are always given.
  • Frequent coaching and support lead to great performers and high quality for our customers.
  • A manager's job is to set each employee up for success every day.
  • We don't punish people for mistakes - we work together to understand the root cause of a mistake and solve it together.
  • We strive to create an environment where you look forward to coming to work each day and leave work with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Day to Day Duties:

  • Performing arc and torch cutting and gouging.
  • Using generators, compressors, tuggers, blowers, grinders, and other power and air tools.
  • Welding plate with 7018, 7024 and 6010 stick (SMAW), flux core (FCAW), and submerged arc automatic machines (3 o'clock and "goat"/tractor).
  • Using come-alongs, hydraulic jacks, hoists, air bags, winches, and other lifting equipment.
  • Using tank shell buggies, tank scaffolding, tank ladders, and other specialty equipment.
  • Performing vacuum box tests, oil tests, dye penetrant tests, and other non-destructive quality examinations.
  • Using gas monitors, fresh air kits, respirators, emergency rescue kits, and other safety equipment.
  • Operating forklifts, man lifts, boom lifts, and other large lifting equipment.
  • Knowledge of crane operations (including rigging and signaling)
  • Reading detailed erection and fabrication drawings.
  • Planning the sequence and methods of fitting up, welding, repairing, and constructing tanks.
  • Completing job safety analysis, safety audits, site-specific training, and other safety training.
  • Follow directions and work professionally with other crew members.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Requirements:

  • Have great communication and organization skills.
  • The ability to solve problems and suggest improvements to our systems.
  • Have excellent attendance and show up to work on time every day.
  • The willingness to learn.
  • Be at least 18 years old.

  • Have a high school diploma or equivalent.
  • Be eligible to work in the United States.
  • Be willing to authorize background checks.
  • Have no criminal convictions for dishonesty, sexual misconduct, violence, or acts of terrorism.
  • Have a valid driver's license.
  • Be willing to authorize motor vehicle driving record checks.
  • Be willing to submit to pre-hire, random, and post-incident drug and alcohol testing.
  • Ability to weld is a plus.

Benefits:
