As a leading provider of industrial cleaning solutions for the North American petrochemical production, oil refining, power generation, metals, and pulp and paper industries, HydroChem LLC is continuing to expand its market presence and hire talented, knowledgeable individuals with years of industry experience.
HydroChem recently turned to BIC Recruiting to assist with its expansion by finding new Senior Account Manager Duncan Watson to help provide account management for its chemical cleaning business. HydroChem recently acquired Inland Industrial Services Group LLC, an industrial cleaning company with more than a 30-year history, which serves the Gulf Coast and the Central United States.
“We felt BIC would have a good understanding of our industry and with their reputation they would be a good source for candidates,” said Tammy Booker, vice president, human resources. “BIC provided us with a strong group of candidates and the interview process went very well. We were interviewing a candidate who lived out of state and BIC handled the scheduling and was very professional and accommodating at handling the different schedules between our hiring manager and the candidate.”
Watson was looking for an opportunity to relocate to Texas when BIC Senior Recruiter Deborah Anderson contacted him from a referral recommendation.
“I was hoping to find a Texas-based company that had a premier reputation as an industrial service provider in the petrochemical industry and Deborah found the perfect fit for me at HydroChem,” Watson said. “She presented me with what I would consider to be the ideal job description with an ideal employer that perfectly matched my industry experience and needs for professional growth. Deborah guided me through each step of the process from beginning to end.”
HydroChem praised BIC’s knowledge of the industry and understanding of its needs, with Booker stating, “I would highly recommend BIC Recruiting.”
“BIC is very professional in their approach and highly supportive,” Watson added. “I would suggest making BIC Recruiting your first choice in your next career move. BIC has a large network of quality companies looking to hire quality people.”
HydroChem’s acquisition of Inland Industrial Services Group means the combined company will have close to $400 million of revenue and will continue to provide highly effective and cost-efficient industrial cleaning solutions to customers, including daily maintenance as well as turnaround and project services.
“We are excited to welcome Inland’s customers and employees into the HydroChem family,” said HydroChem CEO Gary Noto. “Our cultures are highly complementary and together we will continue to deliver industry-leading safety and quality results to our customers. We remain 100-percent committed to the accelerated rollout of HydroChem’s proprietary automation technology, which delivers safer, more reliable and higher-quality outcomes.”
The combined company’s core services, which include hydroblasting, industrial vacuuming, chemical cleaning, tank cleaning and paint booth management services, are essential to improving or maintaining the efficiency and operability of customer facilities, as well as extending the useful lives of process equipment and facilities.
