What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lab Technician position at Creedence Energy Services |?
Every water sample tells a story — contaminants, mineral content, scale potential — and you'll be the one who reads it. As a Lab Technician at Creedence Energy Services, you'll run samples through a full battery of tests, generate accurate data, and hand off results that our account managers rely on to build the right chemical program for each customer. Nothing gets recommended until your analysis says it's solid. You're precise, curious about the "why" behind the numbers, and take ownership of getting it right the first time. We're a family-owned company, and we believe our people and our culture are what set us apart. If you want work where your results directly shape real solutions — and a team that has your back — we'd love to talk.
Creedence Energy Services is a leading independent production and midstream chemical company with a national reach, including the Bakken, Powder River, Permian, East Texas, Midcon, and San Juan Basins. To continue with our commitment to safety excellence, we are looking to match great people with a great career.
