Field Engineer in Training

Field Engineer in Training 

At Tracerco, we believe in the power of diagnostics to transform the oil and gas industry. As a Engineer in Training, you will be at the forefront of this transformation, supporting our mission to provide innovative solutions that enhance efficiency and safety in petrochemical, refining, and offshore activities. Your work will directly impact our clients' operations, helping them solve complex problems and achieve their goals.

Your Role and Impact

Reporting to the Project Manager, you will travel to customer sites, including refineries and industrial plants, to assist Engineers and Project Leaders.
