Junior Slurry Engineer

Client of Linked4HR 

This is a field-based operational role supporting slurry preparation, monitoring, mixing, conditioning, and low-pressure transfer through tank systems up to the pre-injection stage. The role focuses on maintaining slurry targets (density, solids loading, rheology, and suspension stability), monitoring equipment performance around shakers/grinders/tanks, and escalating abnormalities.

Responsibilities:

• Support slurry preparation activities: mixing, dilution, circulation, conditioning, and tank sequencing across active/agitated and pre-injection tanks.
• Conduct and record routine checks and observations (as per site procedure): density, viscosity / gel behavior, solids content estimate / trend indicators, suspension / settling behavior.
• Support tank-to-tank transfers and maintain stable low-pressure flow through hoses/lines/transfer pumps.
• Observe shaker performance and report poor separation, unusual solids carryover, screen issues, or process abnormalities.
• Support grinder integration activities (where used) and report throughput limitations or abnormal solids behavior (settling, plugging risk, poor grind performance).
• Support chemical handling and addition as instructed by the Field Slurry Engineer; maintain safe handling discipline and dosing records (chemicals may include dispersants, surfactants, biocides, scavengers, as approved).
• Maintain accurate daily logs, sampling records, tank checks, and shift handover notes.
• Maintain strong housekeeping and safety discipline around tanks, rotating equipment, lines/hoses, and solids-handling equipment.
• Comply with company procedures, client requirements, and all site HSE rules.
