Refineries Report – August/September 2024

Our work in our refineries continues to be busy this summer. Our refinery contractors are placing refinery calls for both journeypersons and apprentices. Schultz Industrial has consistently been placing calls for two separate projects at both the Marathon-Carson Refinery and Marathon-Wilmington Refinery. Bragg Industrial now has the contract at the Valero-Wilmington Refinery along with other projects within the Long Beach and Wilmington area. Bragg Industrial will also be looking to bring on more folks.

Newtron Electric will also be starting back up at the Paramount / World Energy Refinery, possibly later this year building the new refinery in the City of Paramount, which will utilize vegetable oil to refine instead of crude oil.

All of our contractors require the RSO20 card and most also require the TWIC Card. Newtron Electric will also ask our members to take the NFPA 70E course to work out at the World Energy Refinery, Paramount.
