Petrochemical Shutdown
150+ professionals deployed for a petrochemical unit catalyst change and vessel inspection. 48-hour CV turnaround on initial requirement, full crew mobilized to site within two weeks.
India’s petrochemical industry handles some of the most hazardous materials in the process industry — ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, and various toxic intermediates. Metro supplies chemical-safety-trained manpower for ethylene crackers, polymer lines, and specialty chemical plants.




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.
From cracker operators to catalyst-change crews — tell us your plant scope. First CVs in 48 hours, crews mobilized in under 2 weeks.
From naphtha crackers to polymer lines to specialty chemical reactors — we supply the full spectrum of petrochemical roles.

For planned petrochemical turnarounds we mobilize 100–300+ multi-discipline crew within 2–3 weeks — catalyst handlers, welders, fitters, NDT, QC, and chemical-safety officers. Experienced across cracker, polymer, and specialty reactor overhauls. On-schedule execution, zero LTI target.
For continuous polymer and cracker production we supply DCS operators, field operators, maintenance engineers, and instrument technicians on rolling contracts. Rotating shift coverage, chemical-safety screened, MSDS-aware — matched to your plant’s specific control platform.
From catalyst-change shutdowns to rolling polymer-plant O&M and greenfield chemical construction — proven across India’s petrochemical and specialty chemical sector.
Delivering petrochemicals manpower wherever India’s chemical sector operates — from Reliance Jamnagar and IOCL Panipat to standalone specialty chemical clusters, and international complexes.










Active deployment across India’s petrochemical clusters — Gujarat (Jamnagar, Dahej, Hazira), Maharashtra (Nagothane, Mahul), Andhra Pradesh (Visakhapatnam), Uttar Pradesh (Panipat), and specialty chemical zones in Tamil Nadu and Telangana — plus international petrochemical complexes.
Petrochemical operations demand chemical-safety discipline, catalyst expertise, and corrosion-aware maintenance. Here’s how Metro’s 19-year approach directly solves them.
Petrochemical plants handle hazardous materials requiring MSDS awareness, LEL monitoring, toxic-gas detection, and chemical PPE expertise. Metro screens for this specific safety knowledge before deployment — not just a generic HSE induction.
Shutdown catalyst work — unloading, screening, loading, activation — requires specialised experience. Our crews have done this across reforming, hydroprocessing, and FCC units at major petrochemical complexes.
Chemical environments create unique corrosion patterns. Our maintenance staff understands material degradation in acid, caustic, chloride, and high-temperature hydrocarbon service — matched to your unit’s specific metallurgy.
We study your organization, site environment, and work culture to ensure technical and cultural fit.
We map exact roles, disciplines, certifications, experience levels, and deployment timeline.
We screen our 20,000+ database and deliver qualified, pre-vetted CVs within 48 hours.
We manage offers, documentation, certification verification, and logistics for site mobilization.
Post-deployment, we monitor performance, resolve issues, and maintain the relationship.
