FINAL Bulk Plant Operator
www.careersinoilandgas.com
BULK PLANT OPERATOR #BlenderOperator #BlendingMachineOperator #WarehousePlantOperator You follow a recipe: measure, mix, stir and blend a ton of this and a ton of that. You ensure the smooth operation of a bulk plant, including maintaining inventory and mixing bulk products for swift and efficient delivery to oil and gas well sites. Your plant is a hub for raw materials seamlessly coming and going.
What does this career look like? You work at a bulk plant, a facility that houses towering pressure vessels or silos to store various powdered blends of chemicals, such as drilling fluids, cement additives and acids. One moment, you’re filling a vessel with dry bulk cement, or loading it into a blending tank or truck. You may find yourself replacing a leaky valve or troubleshooting a malfunction. Or, you may play traffic control with arriving orders. You’re good at troubleshooting and you take pride in your ability to manage a facility with its many moving parts and large pieces of equipment…some of these pressure vessels hold 90 tonnes of cement. You ensure excellent quality control in accordance with company policies and procedures.
