An EMI (Electromagnetic Induction) Tubing Scanner is responsible for inspecting oilfield tubulars for internal and external flaws, wall loss, pitting, and cracks using non-destructive testing (NDT) technology. The scanner operates specialized EMI equipment to detect longitudinal and transverse defects, ensuring tubing integrity before it is returned to the well.  

Key Responsibilities

• Operate EMI Inspection Equipment (OEM): Use high-speed EMI tools to scan tubing as it is pulled from the well during workovers or completions.  
• Rigging & Setup: Safely rig up and down EMI equipment, communicate with wellsite leads and engineers, and coordinate with rig crews.
• Inspection & Analysis: Interpret EMI readings to classify tubing condition (e.g., “yellow-band” or “red-band” joints) and determine if it meets API or customer standards.
• Equipment Maintenance: Regularly check and maintain EMI tools and safety gear; perform housekeeping and shop maintenance.
• Safety Compliance: Wear PPE at all times, follow safe work procedures for handling heavy tubing (often 200+ lbs), and ensure compliance with safety and incident reporting.
• Customer Service: Provide clear, accurate inspection reports and work independently to meet job deadlines.

Qualifications & Skills

• Experience: Preferably 3+ years in tubing scanning as an operator and familiar with OEM’s ARTIS-4 or 6.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency with EMI inspection tools, understanding of API standards, and ability to perform independent material condition assessments.
• Physical Requirements: Ability to lift over 50 lbs, work in remote well locations, and handle equipment in challenging environments.
• Licenses/Certifications: Valid driver’s license (no CDL required), ability to pass drug tests, and familiarity with oilfield safety protocols.
• Soft Skills: Strong communication, problem-solving, and customer service skills; ability to work independently and in a team.

Work Environment

• Location: Multiple oilfield sites (Hobbs, NM and surrounding area and Farmington, NM).
• Schedule: Full-time, often 40+ hours/week, including weekends, nights, and on-call overtime.
• Conditions: Outdoor, mobile work in remote well sites; exposure to oilfield hazards and weather.

Pay & Benefits (Typical)

• Pay Range: $17–$28/hour depending on experience, with potential for overtime, and supplemental pay
• Benefits: Health, dental, vision, life insurance, paid time off
