Primary Responsibilities and Key Deliverables

• Measure, cut, and apply rubber linings to the internal and external surfaces of industrial equipment (e.g., tanks, pipes, valves).
• Prepare surfaces by cleaning, sanding, and priming to ensure proper adhesion of rubber linings.
• Use specialized tools and techniques to fit and adhere rubber linings to various surfaces, including vulcanization or bonding as required.
• Inspect surfaces before application to identify potential defects or imperfections.
• Conduct visual and physical inspections of lined surfaces to ensure proper adhesion, thickness, and coverage.
• Perform spark testing or other non-destructive testing methods to verify the integrity of the lining.
• Perform maintenance on existing rubber linings by inspecting for damage and conducting necessary repairs or replacements.
• Use patching, sealing, or re-lining techniques as needed for worn-out areas.
• Follow all safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), in accordance with workplace safety standards.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, such as ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) guidelines for rubber linings.
• Maintain detailed records of lining work, including materials used, time taken, and inspection reports.
• Communicate with supervisors and clients regarding job progress, any issues, and final inspection results.

Required Skills and Competencies

• Strong attention to detail and precision in work.
• Ability to interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and specifications.
• Knowledge of materials used in rubber lining (natural and synthetic rubbers) and different application techniques.
• Familiarity with safety standards related to industrial equipment and environments.
• Willingness to work in various industrial environments, such as factories, mines, or chemical plants.
