15
years of professional experience
Process operations professional operating gas processing units by adjusting pressure, flow, vacuum, temperature, and transfer rates to keep systems within required limits, monitoring 3+ units per shift. Monitors gauges, log sheets, and test results to catch deviations early, then coordinates corrective action with maintenance and other operators. Handles safety checks, equipment cleaning, and repair support across utility and industrial plant settings.
