Boiler Systems & Facility Maintenance Specialist

Job Description

Job Description Your mission: reliability

Imagine starting your shift with a quick sweep of the steam plant—gauges steady, traps cycling cleanly, feed water perfect. An hour later, you’re logging consumption data and closing a preventive work order. By afternoon, you’re coordinating a vendor to service a chiller while you open and clean boiler tubes in preparation for inspection. If that cadence sounds like a win, you’ll excel here.

We’re building momentum—multiplying possibilities to reach exponential potential—and we need a specialist who keeps utilities and facilities running flawlessly.

Role focus

• Maintain and optimize core facility assets: firetube boilers, compressors, chillers, water softeners, drainage networks, and building systems. Success is measured by PM attainment and a strong planned-over-reactive maintenance ratio.
• Lead structured root cause analysis on failures and refine maintenance plans to eliminate repeat events.
• Leverage maintenance tracking software to document PMs and corrective work, hours on equipment, and total repair costs; maintain high-quality entries in the work order system.
• Direct vendors performing outsourced PMs/repairs and verify workmanship.
• Pinpoint improvements that increase efficiency, reduce energy use, and slow component degradation.
• Implement predictive maintenance routines for critical equipment to elevate uptime and reliability.
• Respond to facility service tickets: lighting, restroom fixtures, locks, walls, bump posts, and safety signage.

Steam and power details

• Inspect steam valves and traps to confirm correct operation.
• Prepare boilers for inspection: open/clean tubes and drums; replace refractory brick and burners as required.
• Continuously monitor boilers, steam lines, gauges, pumps, and valves.
• Repair boiler room components including valves, bearings, packing, gauges, expansion joints, pumps, electrical controls, and PRVs.
• Perform daily water quality testing under the direction of the contracted Water Quality Engineer; sustain proper water softening, condensate, and feed water quality to extend system life.
• Maintain surveillance of fuel oil tanks for emergency diesel generator sets and test the emergency generator(s) on the prescribed schedule.
• Record steam, water, and gas consumption consistently.

Standards and safety

• Follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Use a range of hand/power tools, electric meters, and material handling equipment safely.
• Comfortably work in environments with multiple allergens.

What you’ll need to succeed

• Education: Associate’s or technical school degree in Mechanics, Electrical, or Computer Science preferred; equivalent education/experience considered.
• Experience: Minimum 5 years in a manufacturing environment with high-pressure steam boilers.
• License: Boiler Operator Certificate/License.
• Technical depth:
  • Repair/troubleshooting across mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical domains.
  • Welding skills; ability to read mechanical, piping, and electrical drawings.
  • Facility plumbing maintenance.
  • Compressed air systems expertise; Kaeser experience preferred.
  • Electrical troubleshooting from basic faults to complex problems—motor starter circuits, VFDs, I/O switch functions, and equipment wiring.
  • Operate Hilo trucks, scissor lifts, and boom lifts; pass required Roskam testing.
  • Comfort with Building Automation Systems (BAS) and general computer literacy.

If you’re driven by reliability and excellence in utilities maintenance, this role gives you the scope to make a measurable impact every day.
