Why Par

Professional development
We know you'll bring a foundation of mechanical and electrical skills, but the diversity of this role should provide opportunities to gain exposure to diverse functional areas and positions. You'll also interact with a variety of people at all levels of the refinery, and with peers throughout Par Pacific's organization.

Broad exposure
Working at Par Pacific is different. Because Par is a smaller energy company, employees have the opportunity to make a great impact on the business and to influence decisions. People truly have amazing careers at Par because they are exposed to all areas of the company and are connected to many of the industry experts.

Unique culture
There is nothing ordinary about Par Pacific -- an unorthodox niche player in the energy space that drives operations from production to delivery. And there's certainly nothing ordinary about Par Pacific people. We are driven, hardworking, entrepreneur-minded professionals who love to win. If that describes you, you'll fit right in.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive salary and bonus opportunity, we offer a strong comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision insurance; a robust allotment of paid vacation plus paid time off; a 401(k) with company match; retirement savings plans; educational reimbursement; and more. Employees also get discounts on gasoline.

Opportunistic growth strategy
At Par Pacific, we look for operations with strong fundamentals and great employees who can move a business forward. Our management team has deep experience in the energy industry, as well as in leading mergers, acquisitions, and integrations of newly acquired companies.

Pictured: At the heart of the logistics network is our refinery in Kapolei, which is the largest in the state.

Keys to Success

To excel in this role you will have a strong work ethic, great attention to detail and the ability to be a proactive problem solver when issues with equipment arise. You'll document critical information both through the computer system and in face-to-face interactions with your supervisor and other Operators. This will require excellent communication skills and a foundation of basic computer knowledge. 

It's also important to stress that you must be comfortable working in an environment where you'll be exposed to loud noise, heat, dust, lead, humidity and much more. You'll work on large equipment and it will be essential that you are not afraid of heights. As we've already mentioned before, safety is a top priority at Par, and we're looking for a Operator who is committed to promoting safety throughout every job task and assignment. 

Additionally, to truly excel in this role you’ll be an expert at multitasking and well-versed at prioritizing your activities in a fast-paced environment. Priorities can shift quickly around here, and our best team members keep calm even in stressful situations. This is the type of role that we can ensure that you’ll never be bored! There will always be something different to do and a unique challenge to overcome.
