Refinery Work Requires More Than a Resume.

Staffing for a refinery isn't like filling an office role. Your contractors need to be safety-certified, technically sharp, and familiar with the specific demands of refinery operations — turnarounds, shutdowns, unit startups, and ongoing maintenance. The wrong hire isn't just a productivity problem. It's a safety risk.

Clayton Services takes refinery staffing seriously. We've spent four decades building a network of Houston-area engineering contractors who have real refinery experience — not just keywords on a resume. When you call us with a need, we're matching you with people who have been on refinery sites, who understand your environment, and who are ready to contribute from day one.
