LDAR Technician

Overview

We're hiring an LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) Technician to support production operations on a client account in the Eagle Ford. 

In this role, you'll drive a regional route from well site to well site using a handheld gas analyzer to inspect equipment for leaks, repair what you can on-site, and document your findings. Accurate documentation is critical—if the monitoring isn't documented, it didn't happen from the regulators' perspective.

This is a Monday–Friday position with weekends off, where you'll primarily manage your own daily route. It's an excellent opportunity for someone who is mechanically inclined, self-motivated, and enjoys working independently. 

Responsibilities

• Perform leak surveys on production equipment (valves, flanges, fittings, seals, etc.) using a handheld gas analyzer.
• Calibrate the analyzer daily and maintain required certifications.
• Repair leaking components when possible and generate work requests for repairs that cannot be completed in the field.
• Maintain accurate records of all monitoring activities and repairs.
• Conduct emissions testing on engines and compressors and complete required compliance reporting.
• Coordinate with contract LDAR technicians working in the same area.
• Assist with routine production operations and maintenance activities as needed.
• Follow all safety procedures and promote a safe work environment.

Qualifications

• Previous LDAR or fugitive emissions monitoring experience, especially Method 21 using a TVA 1000 or similar analyzer preferred. 

• Oilfield production or Lease Operator experience with knowledge of surface equipment, including:

  • Wellheads
  • Separators
  • Compressors
  • Artificial lift systems
• Industrial or refinery experience in instrumentation, pipefitting, welding, operations, or maintenance preferred.
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
• Mechanically inclined and comfortable using hand tools and field instruments.
• Solid computer skills (Microsoft Office; client uses SAP for work orders).
• Detail-oriented with strong documentation skills.
• Able to work independently and manage a regional driving schedule.
• H2S awareness and basic safety training (training can be provided if needed).
• Candidates with a strong production operations or industrial maintenance background who are willing to learn the compliance side are encouraged to apply. 

Why Danos

• Monday–Friday schedule with weekends off.
• Company vehicle provided.
• Independence to manage your own regional route.
• Training and support to ensure success.
• Opportunity to help keep facilities compliant while protecting the operator, the environment, and the people working in the field.
