Chemical-Safety-Ready Manpower — Cracker to Polymer

Metro Manpower supplies technical manpower for petrochemical and chemical manufacturing plants across India, covering process operations, maintenance, inspection, construction, and turnaround activities. From mega-complexes like Reliance Jamnagar and IOCL Panipat to standalone specialty chemical units, our 20,000+ database covers the full spectrum of petrochemical manpower needs.

Petrochemical plants require personnel with specific experience — a generic ‘process operator’ won’t understand ethylene cracker pyrolysis furnace operations or cryogenic separation processes. Metro matches industry-specific experience to your plant type, whether it’s a naphtha cracker, a polymerization line, or a batch specialty-chemical reactor.

Our candidates are trained in MSDS protocols, LEL monitoring, toxic-gas detection, and chemical PPE — the safety fundamentals that petrochemical operations demand. They bring hands-on experience with ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and benzene handling, plus the permit-to-work discipline of a running hydrocarbon complex.

We cover the full lifecycle — catalyst changeout, reactor turnaround, exchanger bundle replacement, continuous O&M, and greenfield commissioning. Our crews know chemical-plant corrosion behaviour, specialty material service, and the quality bar that petrochemical manufacturing demands.
