How many years in did you start doing contract work? Is the pay typically better? Thanks
Awesome.
@@tr4pgod647 hi I work as a technical Recruiter for Flextronics, Austin TEXAS. We are currently Hiring automation technicians. Drop a reply if interested.
Can u be self employed with this trade?
I love this video so much you were so amazing explaining everything that you did I am currently in school for instrumentation and I was worried for what the future is gonna hold for me your experience gave me hope thank you for uploading this
🙌 my honor and respect maam, god bless you.
Born and raised in Pasadena so you always know someone that works at the refineries, my dad included. Great work and video.
I want to start my career in this field, like Krystal Garcia did.
This Definitely Motivates Me
I am a instrument Technician.
I have 2 yr experience in operation and maintenance
(Petrochemicals)
how high do you climb?
May God give you wellness, Bechmahdseh
I’m very proud of you Krystal Garcia!
It is a great field. I found my way into it via the Navy nuclear program. Now I am an IC&E Tech at a combined cycle power plant. If anyone is interested in getting in the field, I highly recommend the nuclear Navy (especially nuclear electronics technician) and/or an associate's degree in the Instrumentation/control field.
In my instrumentation classes about 70% of the students got into it through the navy hahaha
What is the pay for instrumentation tech? Do you work shift work?
Spencer Morgan depending the industry. Inst techs in oil refineries, power plants, chemical plants, etc. do 12 hour rotating shifts, pay usually ranges from 24-37 an hour
Thank you very much, im here in baton rouge, LA and the abc trade school offers a two year class to get NCCER certified. Its 400 dollads first semester then 180 after that. Im going to take just to see how i like it. The money seems really good so i would love to give this career a goc
Thanks for the information. I have several years of experience in instrumentation, automation and Electronics. I would to obtain a job offer.This is my Linkedin profile www.linkedin.com/in/ingmarroquin/ and this is my CZcams channel czcams.com/channels/vQu3lyI2HNXQwCC9TND2UQ.html
I worked in a complexed nickel cobalt plant in Australia initially as a projects instrumentation installer.
I became a maintenance technician and yes it's rewarding but it can be extremely stressful also.
How many bucks did you make?
@@ZenGodIam $65 AUD per hour 84 hour week. 8 days on 6 off.
What certification course did u do
Folks in this career field is highly needed especially in oil and gas processing plants which are everywhere
Rosemount level transmitters..great..HART Based instrument..
In the US - its who you know and not what you know. While middle eastern and African oil and petrochemical giants are all about years, years, years and years of maintenance experience before you can set foot in the biggest refiners, These state owned companies employ mostly from South and Southeast Asia as plant maintenance personnel{ instrument, electrical and mechanical }with the right level of education and solid experience that align to the profession they are into..
I want a job like this but mainly working in shop and less outdoors. Anybody know what industry that would be?
I respect you
Finishing up my last semester for instrumentation at Amarillo college in Texas and can’t wait to get out in the field!
devin childs congrats!! I hope all goes well with your career path.
Did u get a job?
Does it pay well??
@@SexyBoyRoy yes pays very well lol impossible to get a job it's all luck or get references
Hopefully you've got your crosswords ready.

Sana all maam.
Hi I'm Daniel and I was wondering if I can get in touch with Krystal because I wanted to ask her more about instrument technician. In my country it's hard to get mentorship from people who are working as instrument technician because they are a few or even less than 1000
I have also done graduation in instrumentation....still looking for job...
Salary not an issue...need to hold on

Iam instrumentation engineer and i have one year experience now iam searching for a job
I'm so inspired, I can relate. I'm a qualified Instrumentation Mechanician. I'm so much in love
What is an instrumentation mechanician? I am and Instrument Technician and have never heard of that term.
@@kp_21 it's basically an artisan. Someone who went to the college, completed the apprenticeship program and then passed the trade test. I have a red seal trade certificate in Instrumentation.
@@dumisileinnocentia2319 I have completed the apprenticeship program and also have a red seal. The term "mechanician" is not widely used it is either mechanic or technician.
Nice
Which job to choose? I have a choice between process operator or instrument tech
Definitely, Instrument technician. I'm currently a process operator and I'm planning on going back to school to become an Instrumentation tech. There are more opportunities for Instrument Technicians. Operators work rotating 12 hour shifts - days & nights. Personally, I hate the shift work! Shift work = no life. Hope this helps you.
I've rejected a joboffer from INEOS once. Reason was, i don't want to stay in 1 factory for years.
I prefer a job where i can travel. like visiting substations.
have you found the job you want ?
@@linocalderon1881 not the perfect job but good enough for gaining experiences.
@@winner1338 I’m in the same boat. I’m about to complete 2 yr tech school and I don’t wanna be stuck at a factory my whole career. I wanna travel to different jobs. What job did u find and can you tell me how u found it? I wanna do field service technician or substation work. Or any job that lets me travel
@@ajduhpp You can search for a job at utility companies. For example, waste water company, their pumping stations are all over the country/state. You'll surely have to visit them for troubleshooting/renovation etc.
Drinkwater company
Electrical provider company
...
@@winner1338 may I know how many years experience you have? I am a technical recruiter for Flextronics and we have openings for over 40 positions we are looking for Technicians with 4years+ experience
how much does an instrumntation tech make (if not exactly just make an estimate)
Mido Salvatore over 60k
Depends on qualifications and experience, starting can be as low as 26 an hour, but with experience can make 40 an hour easy.
Is it late age wise for me to go study to be an instrumentation tech? I have 39yr already
No way. You could apply for an apprenticeship and start working/learning and go to school for first year and see if you like it.
I'm also instrument technician my qualification is deploma of instrumentation i studied it there year.now I'm doing job in UAE with 8 years work experience but still not get too much high salary
Instrumentation engineer from Algeria, jobless since my graduation :(.
It really makes me sad 😭 to see others doing my job.
Dz NA5G Too many engineers now a days.
Don't feel bad, I'm here in Louisiana, 18 months later 8 grand on the hole and still no job.
@@monkeymuggs Have you applied to DOW?
in this industry you gotta know someone
Man I hate to say it but most likely you will not get a job with a foriegn degree in USA unless already recruited I went to school with slot of North African & Middle East Engineers at Houston Community College and only 2 that I know got jobs about about 8 people got jobs from the entire graduating class out of about 50 people it's hard to impossible

Hello Good Morning
Iam Instrumentation Technician 6 years Experience
Please help me job Request me
you clever woman
I along with at least 10 peers of mine from college before graduating applied for the INEOS apprenticeship at chocalote bayou in Alvin in 2019, and all of us even went to a staffing agency for a 3 hour apptitude exam, and after all that effort, 4 months down the road we all got emails saying the apprenticeship was canceled with no explanation why.
Why even bother advertising this INEOS? Her transition from student to apprentice doesnt always happen so easily. I have applied dozens of I&E jobs, and have not found a single I&E job willing to even respond to my apllication.
I really think there's three things that make this field very hard to get into.
First its a vicious cycle of not being able to get the job cause you dont have work experience, and you can't get the experience cause you cant get the job. Secondly, working in other job roles at the plants since graduation like laser scanning and heat treating services, ive noticed in the oil and gas industry its all about who you know. You may have the degree or a certification, but that only makes you eligable to apply.
9 times out of 10 they will hire they're friends, family members, or references.
Finally, there simply isn't a huge number of I&E technicians at anyone location compared to the operators, or contactors. Just a heads up to anyone thinking her accomplishment fairy tale story in the I&E world is common, its not....
It's like that everywhere, brother. Power generation is the same.
So were you ever able to get a job?
You are absolutely right.... I rarely see trainee or apprenticeship instrumentation programs, they always want at least three to five years experience. I have a background as an electronics technician (associate degree) and even worked on repairing and calibrating oil field sensors and transmitters. I apply for instrumentation tech (all levels) and they wouldn't give me the time of day.
Working outside in texas heat you don’t enjoy that 😂
To be fair, working around a boiler in the dead of summer is no treat.
I have nothing to say.
How she can work as instrument tech🤔
By applying 🤔
Wish i could get into this field, got my degree, applied to jobs from CA to SD. still with no luck. I wish I was given a chance to work in this industry. I'll keep applying, and I guess if I'm working burgers then that's my life.
Did you find a job yet?
Pro-tip: lie your a** off on the application. In fact, it is kind of expected. Once you have that first job experience on your resume, it's a piece of cake getting new jobs.
YOU CAN JOB INSTUMENT TECH GIVE IN JOB
JOB TECH CAN INSTUMENT GIVE FOR BE ?
NO CAN TECH GIVE BE JOB FOR INSTUMENT !
What waste of time why dont these videos say that most plants hire who they want when they want it's not really up to you to get a job, its if the plant wants to give it to you lol I got a PTech degree from HCC in 2018 I actually stopped looking for a job about 8 months ago and went back to teaching oh and I have a busines degree from UH it's all BS 5k people to test for 20 position get out here just interview 100 people or 50
True man. She probably started as a helper of some sort. Being a female. Already out her in front of those who probably know the job way better than her
TRUE!💯. I've been in the industry for several years and I can tell you with a fact... IT'S WHO YOU KNOW .
