Why Work Here?
You join a growing organization that offers clear pathways for advancement and professional development. As the company expands its presence as a specialized pump and valve service provider, you benefit from upward mobility based on your skills and certifications rather than seniority. Once you transition to a permanent role, the company pays for valve technician certifications and provides a raise for each certification you earn, allowing you to grow your income as you build your expertise. You work in an environment that values hands-on learning, rewards initiative, and supports long-term career growth in a specialized industrial trade.
Work Environment
You work primarily in a valve shop environment and at industrial power plant sites across regions such as Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia. The shop and field settings are loud, dirty, and industrial, and you should be comfortable getting dirty and working around heavy equipment. The role is physically demanding and involves regular use of hand and air tools, including impact wrenches, air grinders, drills, and torches. Travel to field locations is required, and you work alongside lead technicians during on-site assignments. Work hours vary; on some days you work a standard schedule around 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, while during outages you may work 12-hour shifts. Some weekend on-call availability is required to support customer needs.
