Core Responsibilities

- Extraction & Removal: Safely cut, split, and extract damaged, fouled, or corroded tubes from high-pressure heat exchangers and boilers using specialized hydraulic tube pullers, internal tube cutters, and pneumatic spears.
- Tube Sheet Restoration: Clean, ream, brush, and micrometer-measure tube sheet holes and grooving to ensure precise tolerances before new tube installation.
- Installation & Expansion: Bundle, feed, and fit recent tubes (e.g., carbon steel, stainless steel, copper-nickel, titanium) through baffles and expand them into tube sheets using electronic, pneumatic, or hydraulic tube-rolling equipment to precise torque specifications.
- Joint Integrity & Welding: Assist code welders with tube-to-tube-sheet seal welds or strength welds, performing post-weld joint dressing and inspections.
- Testing & Leak Detection: Set up and execute hydrostatic (hydro), pneumatic,



and bubble tests to verify the integrity of expanded or plugged tubes under strict pressure guidelines.
- Turnaround Rigging & Lifting: Perform basic rigging, hoisting, and alignment of heavy exchanger bundles, components, and specialized retubing rigs.
- Refinery Safety Adherence: Operate strictly under Hot/Cold Work Permits, Confined Space Entry protocols, and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) isolation procedures to maintain a zero-incident record.

Required Qualifications & Technical Skills

- Experience: Minimum 3 to 5 years of direct maintenance experience inside an oil refinery, petrochemical plant, or gas processing facility.
- Physical Demands: Physically fit to work in confined spaces, at heights on scaffolding, and under extreme weather conditions while wearing full PPE (including respiratory equipment if required).
