Job Description

Keep our utilities running at peak performance

Use your technical know-how to keep facilities and equipment in optimal condition. In this role, you’ll perform operational checks and a full spectrum of maintenance—preventive, planned, and reactive—centered on a firetube steam boiler plant and the broader facility infrastructure.

Join a team that multiplies possibilities and unlocks exponential potential.

A day in the life

• Start of shift : Walk the boiler room and utility areas; verify steam line pressures, gauge readings, pump status, and valve positions. Log readings and note any anomalies.
• Morning : Conduct daily water quality tests under the guidance of the contracted Water Quality Engineer; adjust treatment to protect boiler, condensate, and feed water systems. Inspect steam traps and control valves for proper function.
• Midday : Tackle facilities service requests—lighting, bathroom fixtures, locks, walls, bump posts, and safety signage—while coordinating with outside vendors for scheduled PMs and verifying their work quality.
• Afternoon : Prepare boilers for inspection as needed—open and clean tubes and drums; replace refractory brick and burners. Perform repairs on valves, bearings, gauges, expansion joints, pumps, electrical controls, and PRVs.
• Wrap-up : Record steam, water, and gas consumption; update the work order system and maintenance tracking software to capture PM attainment, reactive vs. planned work, hours, and parts / labor costs.
