Job Description
Associate Facility Engineer
Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Full-time | Entry-Level to Early Career | Engineering, Procurement & Construction Management (EPCm)
Looking to grow your engineering career with a team that actually supports your development?
Welcome to J H Operating Company — a hands-on, fast-moving EPCm firm where you're more than just a cog in the machine. We support upstream and midstream oil & gas projects across the U.S., and we’re looking for an Associate Engineer to join our Baton Rouge office.
This is a great opportunity for a recent graduate or an early-career engineer (3–5 years) to work side-by-side with industry veterans and learn by doing. Promotion potential? Absolutely — we expect it after just 6–12 months if you're the right fit.
What You’ll Do:
•Assist in the design, procurement, and execution of complex infrastructure projects (e.g., production facilities, terminals, SWDs, pipelines).
•Collaborate with Facility Engineers and Project Managers to carry projects from concept to commissioning.
•Get involved in everything — from developing P&IDs to field commissioning and PSSR walkthroughs.
•Contribute to safety reviews (HAZOPs, PSSRs), perform quality control inspections, assist with job book compilation, and support seamless client handoffs.
•Review drawing packages (P&IDs, 3Ds, orthos, isometrics) and ensure accuracy.
•Help size and procure equipment, manage purchase orders, and track costs.
•Learn tools like ProMax, Autodesk, and internal systems (we’ll train you).
•Research and develop tools or processes when the team hits a new challenge.
•Travel occasionally to job sites, vendor locations, and client facilities (10–15%).
What We’re Looking For:
•Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related scientific field (3.5+ GPA preferred).
•0–5 years of experience in engineering, EPC, or oil & gas preferred.
•Solid communication skills — you’ll talk with clients, team members, and vendors.
•Eager to learn and comfortable asking questions (and answering a few too).
•Able to work hard, stay organized, and bring a little personality to the table.
•Willing to travel as needed (10–15%) and able to pass a drug screen.
Bonus Points For:
•Familiarity with ASME, ANSI, and API standards.
•AutoCAD or drafting experience.
•Programming experience (Python, R, VBA, SQL, etc.).
•A mindset that balances technical excellence with practical outcomes.
