Air Liquide is hiring a Gas Plant Production Technician in Phoenix, AZ, to join their team at the 51st Avenue facility supporting carrier gases for TSMC, a leading semiconductor manufacturer. This role offers a competitive pay range of $30.00 to $35.00 per hour and includes a comprehensive benefits package covering medical, dental, vision, life insurance, AD&D, and disability insurance. The technician position is full-time and requires dedication to safety, operational excellence, and collaboration in a fast-paced and highly regulated industrial setting.

The Gas Plant Production Technician will work in a team-based environment responsible for the safe operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of critical systems such as steam methane reformers, CO2 purification units, high purity helium systems, and supporting utilities that deliver essential gases to the semiconductor manufacturing process. The technician monitors plant systems for abnormalities, responds to alarms and unusual indicators, and partners closely with engineers and site managers to uphold uninterrupted 24/7 gas delivery.

This role demands hands-on involvement in the startup, repair, and preventive maintenance of gas production and delivery equipment, including compressors, valves, pumps, cooling towers, water treatment systems, and electronic monitoring devices.
