A day in the life of a Cylinder Tester

Starting out, your day to day will consist of LOTS of training. About 6-8 weeks of training in every system of the testing environment. We are big on safety here at CK, so we take our time to ensure you are FULLY trained before turning you loose on your own. During this training time, you will be staging cylinders to be tested while also learning what each cylinder type is, what the recertification process for that cylinder is, and the components that are needed to properly test cylinders. Once trained, your day-to-day will consist of thoroughly testing various cylinder types and sizes to ensure they are safe for customers to fill with high pressure gases. You will be responsible for inspecting the outside and inside of each gas cylinder and put them through various forms of testing/refurbishing. This role is critical to the safety and well-being of the communities and businesses that use these cylinders in their work environment every day including hospitals, the food industry, construction industry, chemical industry and more.
