  • Understanding of PSM/RMP regulations and ammonia safety practices.
  • Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, blueprints, schematics, and technical manuals.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to work independently.
  • Ability to work in cold/wet/hot environments and lift up to 50 lbs.
  • Availability for on-call, weekends, or overtime as required.

Preferred
