Is any plant around Texas hiring? hell i will even relocate, move out of texas or whatever. Been looking at Nuclear plants and it looks great, they dont mind training on the job or anything but i have no experience in that type of plat.

My brothers place is always hiring. They pay the highest in Houston but it's a batch process and hard work, Lubrizol. They go through Go Johnson.

They have good benefits too. I work at a pipeline, you wouldn't like the pay compared to working at a Refinery or Chemical plant.

My brother has been at Lubrizol for over 10 years. If you like being forced to work 700-1,000 hrs of OT and mid 40's an hour then it's all you. They go through people like I go through toilet paper.

Why are they always hiring? That top out is about 6 more than ours. My next move is Controller.

They're getting in on our Crude. We've had a few leave that were high up in our company go to Enterprise. Probably because they actually pay what good employees are worth.

Sounds like my ideal job, where do I sign up, that's exactly what my OT looks like for this year

Where do I apply? Could you pm me a link

It just depends in the type of plant/unit. I worked at a batch plant were you do everything from clean the controll room, dump 47 55lbs bags in a reactor in a 105* room in a chemical suite, and also run the board, then run out side and do a filter change. To where I'm at now where the outside guy spends a total of a hour out side issuing permits then inside monitoring his levels. And the board man wears flip flops to work and runs the unit. As long as everything works the way it should ie: CV, LV, instrumentation it should be a easy job. But dealing with dirty product, you tend to have issues with all that.
