New Compressor Mechanic Training

West Virginia Northern Community College (WVNCC) is excited to announce the launch of their new Compressor Mechanic training program, offering students hands-on training in diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining complex compressor systems. This training is designed to equip students with specialized skills needed to excel in this high-demand field, preparing them for careers in various industrial and commercial settings.

Graduates of the program will be trained to work as gas compressor mechanics in industries such as natural gas, manufacturing, and more. The program also provides prospects for higher certifications and specialized roles, offering excellent opportunities for career advancement.

The Compressor Mechanic training was developed in partnership with industry leaders, including MPLX, Encino Energy, Enerflex Ltd., Innio Waukesha, Greenetech Manufacturing Co., Murphy, Insana, and WPI. Thanks to these collaborations, students will train with industry-standard equipment, with MPLX generously donating some of the equipment that will be used in the program.

The program will be housed in WVNCC's Industrial Technology Center, providing students with a state-of-the-art learning environment. Because this is a newer program, students will initially be admitted into WVNCC’s Applied Technology degree program and then will be transferred into the Compressor Mechanic Program officially in the Fall 2025 semester. The Applied Technology program is also eligible for free tuition through WV Invests for qualifying students.
