Gas station operator jobs in Finland
Gas station operators process gases for compression, transmission or recovery by using gas, steam or electric engine compressors. They perform chemical tests on gases and are responsible for pumps and pipelines operations.
Gas station operator - Which skills are essential?
Optimise and maintain the parameters of the production process such as flow, temperature or pressure.
Operate pumping equipment; oversee gas and oil transport from wellheads to refineries or storage facilities.
Read gas measuring meter, recording the relevant information such as the amounts of gas dispensed and received.
Regularly inspect and perform all required activities to maintain the equipment in functional order prior or after its use.
Tend the gas compression engines by starting them, monitoring the process of gas compression and performing small maintenance tasks.
Ensure the necessary, usually constant, pressure of gas which is part of a machine or tool, such as torching equipment, used to process metal workpieces during metal fabrication processes.
Know about pipeline transport regulations and their application in pipeline fields. Apply pipeline transport regulations in the construction of new sites.
Operate the equipment used for oxygen and nitrogen extraction equipment such as compressors, fractionating columns, heat exchangers and purifying towers.
Use the laboratory equipment such as Atomic Absorption equimpent, PH and conductivity meters or salt spray chambre.
Keep a record of data such as name, colour and quantity of the produced goods.
Test the purity and the moisture content of the processed oxygen making use of the burette moisture meter.
Monitor and accordingly adjust the valves in order to allow a specific amount of liquids (such as ammonia sulfuric acid or viscous soap) or steam into the mixer or machine.
Gas station operator - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Walk flow lines to identify damage or leaks; use electronic detection equipment and conduct visual inspections.
React quickly in case of emergency and set planned emergency procedures in motion.
The principles of gas chromatography used to analyse and separate specific compounds which go to vaporisation without decomposition.
Adhere to and follow the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
Perform cleaning routines after equipment use.
Perform the testing procedures on the already prepared chemical samples, by using the necessary equipment and materials. Chemical sample testing involves operations such as pipetting or diluting schemes.
Manage the procedures to be used in chemical testing by designing them and conducting tests accordingly.
Know various types of pipelines and their different usages. Differentiate between pipelines used to transport goods over short and long distances, and understand their respective feeding systems.
The characteristics and functioning of software programs for office tasks such as word processing, spreadsheets, presentation, email and database.
Prepare the specific samples such as gas, liquid or solid samples in order for them to be ready for analysis, labeling and storing samples according to specifications.
