Refineries Report – August 2023

Work in all of our refineries remains strong. Most of our refinery contractors are currently placing calls for journeymen and apprentices. Schultz Mechanical is at Marathon Carson, and Wilmington. M.B. Herzog is at PBF Refinery, Torrance. Newtron Electric is at World Energy, Paramount. Johnson Peltier is at Chevron, El Segundo. Contra Costa Electric is also at Chevron, El Segundo and at Phillips 66, Wilmington and Phillips 66, Carson. All refinery contractors require members to have the RSO20 card, while some other course completion certificates are required by each contractor. Following is a list of the additional course completion certificates needed:

• TWIC card
• NFPA70E course completion
• OSHA 30 course completion
• Industrial skills orientation course

As we approach the fall, many of our refinery contractors have turnarounds scheduled and will be hiring many Level B Instrumentation Technicians and many High Voltage Cable Splicers. Get your certs ready!
