Job Description

Industrial Millwright/Welder (Chemical Processing)

Primary Location: Richmond, CA | Reports to: Maintenance Supervisor

Is this you?

• You’re energized by keeping a sulphuric acid production facility running safely and reliably.
• You can weld, cut, and burn to code — and you’re just as comfortable aligning couplings as you are fabricating supports.
• You diagnose, repair, and rebuild rotating equipment (pumps, gearboxes, motors) with precision.
• You don’t mind getting hands-on: tank vessel openings/cleanouts, valve and piping changes, and plant upkeep.
• You close the loop with thorough documentation and preventive maintenance in the CMMS, always following SOPs.
• You’re prepared for periodic off-shift emergency callouts (including weekends/holidays) and can work outdoors and at heights in PPE.

What you will do

• Perform certified welding, cutting, and burning.
• Repair and overhaul pumps, gearboxes, and motors.
• Complete precision alignment of mechanical power transmission systems (couplings/sheaves).
• Change out piping and valves and verify integrity.
• Open and clean tank vessels following safe work practices.
• Maintain grounds and facilities to high standards.
• Serve on the site emergency response team.
• Execute work orders and preventive maintenance; complete safety and maintenance forms.

What you bring

• 3+ years in industrial maintenance; chemical environment preferred.
• High school diploma or GED.
• Proficiency with computers (MS Office, email, maintenance management systems).
• Ability to interpret safety rules, O&M manuals, procedures, OEM docs, diagrams, and schematics.
• Comfort working in all weather and at heights with PPE.
