What does the day look like?
About 30% of your day is spent collecting water, steam, fuel, and lubricant samples across noisy, hot plant areas such as boiler floors, cooling towers, and oil tanks. Another 40% is spent inside the on-site lab running wet chemistry titrations and operating spectrophotometers, automated Karl Fischer titrators, pH meters, and gas chromatographs.
The remaining 20% goes to logging test results in LIMS software and drafting calibration reports, while 10% is dedicated to preparing chemical reagents and checking the water treatment plant. Work runs on 12-hour rotating shifts or 8-hour 3-shift schedules in 24/7 facilities. Wearing personal protective equipment, including acid-resistant suits, respirators, safety goggles, and steel-toe boots, is mandatory.
