Chlorine Tank Farm Operations Lead

Step into a Shift Where Safety and Precision Lead the Way

At KIK Consumer Products, our brands help families clean, sanitize, and protect their homes and pools. Join a team that values accountability, collaboration, agility, and unwavering ethics as we manufacture trusted consumer products across North America.

A Day in This Role

At 2:00 pm, you take the handoff and scan the rail schedule. You brief operators on PPE, PSM/RMP checks, and the offloading plan. As railcars arrive, you lead safe chlorine offloading from rail and tanker systems, verify valves and scrubbers are in spec, and capture every reading in logs and manifests. Mid-shift, you coordinate inspections and preventive maintenance on tanks, piping, valves, scrubbers, and monitoring systems, and you coach teammates through best practices. If an alarm trips, you act as first responder—executing emergency procedures, leak response, and evacuation protocols with calm precision. Throughout the evening, you reconcile inventory, supervise contractors in the tank farm, and spot opportunities to improve safety, efficiency, and reliability.
