- Conduct basic quality control tests (e.g., BS&W – Basic Sediment & Water) to ensure product quality meets specifications.
- Add chemicals (corrosion inhibitors, methanol, demulsifiers) to the process as directed.

- BOSIET / HUET / Offshore Medical required for offshore positions.
- A valid Driver's License is typically required for onshore field positions.
- 0–3 years of experience in an industrial environment (entry-level candidates with the right safety tickets are often considered).
- Previous experience in Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, or Water Treatment is a strong advantage.
- Experience working in a control room/field operations interface is a plus.
- Basic understanding of P&IDs and line walks.
- Mechanical aptitude and comfort using hand tools.
