  • Maintain facility interfaces between all conditioning cabinets and facility water systems.
  • Oversee operation of combustion air systems, including electrical cabinets, fuses, contactors, relays, wiring schematics, compressors, heater coils, valves, piping, chilled water, and water tower interfaces.
  • Ensure reliable operation of exhaust systems including VFD control, motor/fan maintenance, filter replacement, muffler inspections, and toxic gas monitoring equipment.
  • Work with and supervise tasks involving 480V and 600V 3-phase power, busway systems, switchgear, lugs, disconnects, breaker boxes, fuse panels, and related wiring diagrams.
  • Ensure strict adherence to electrical safety protocols, including NFPA 70E procedures, high-voltage safety, LO/TO, and proper PPE use.
  • Perform PLC resets, safety string checks, and coordinate troubleshooting with controls engineers.
  • Use facility management software (CMMS, BAS, monitoring platforms) for scheduling, work orders, alarms, and asset documentation.
  • Evaluate system data to identify reliability improvements and energy efficiency opportunities.
  • Plan and execute facility upgrade projects, retrofits, and equipment improvements.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for electrical vendors, rigging companies, mechanical contractors, and piping teams.
  • Develop project scopes, review technical drawings, manage budgets, and ensure compliance with codes and safety standards.
  • Lead the test facility maintenance schedule, ensuring preventive and predictive tasks are completed on time.
  • Provide technical guidance to technicians and contractors; deliver training on safety and system operation.
  • Ensure daily facility inspections are performed and documented, escalating issues when necessary.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Facilities, or Industrial Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • Leadership experience overseeing technicians or contractors.
  • Knowledge of NFPA, OSHA, and industrial facility regulatory requirements.
  • Experience with test cell environments or high-performance industrial equipment.
