Plant Operator focused on safe, compliant tank terminal operations and emergency readiness.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Plant Operator with hands-on experience in terminal and tank farm operations in a high-risk chemical handling environment. I execute loading, unloading, transfer, and storage while maintaining strict safety, environmental, and operational standards.
I bring disciplined compliance habits—handling pre-operation inspections, hazard assessments, and lockout/tagout procedures in line with OSHA and DOT regulations. I support emergency readiness through drills and the Incident Command System (ICS), and I complete accurate operational documentation including shift logs, permits, and incident reporting.
Beyond plant operations, I’ve built strong experience in customer-facing and logistics roles—leasing and property operations, warehouse receiving and inventory audits, and equipment-focused work with a constant emphasis on safety and efficiency. I’m motivated to grow professionally, expand operational expertise, and contribute to long-term organizational success.
