Facilities Technician Shift Details

8 Hour Rotation Shift – This schedule is a 4 week rotation where you will work 3 different shifts within 4 weeks. The 3 different shifts you will rotate are Midnights 11pm – 7:30am, Afternoons 3pm – 11:30pm, and Days 7am – 3:30pm.

• Operate all assigned utility systems in accordance with site safety rules and procedures including LOTO, confined space, hot work, line‑breaking, PPE, and chemical handling.
• Support compliance programs applicable to utility operations (e.g., mechanical integrity, inspection/testing documentation, permits, audits), including participation in incident investigations and corrective actions.
• Follow site emergency response procedures and escalate abnormal conditions immediately (including refrigeration alarms or suspected NH₃ leaks).

• Monitor and operate NH₃ refrigeration equipment (compressors, vessels, condensers/evaporators, pumps, valves, and controls).
• Perform routine system checks/rounds, trend key operating parameters, and identify early signs of failure (oil issues, vibration, valve/actuator issues, control deviations, abnormal pressures/temps).
• Support planned shutdown/startup activities and coordinate repairs with Maintenance and approved contractors.

• Operate and monitor boilers and steam distribution/condensate return systems to meet plant demand safely and efficiently.
• Perform or support boiler water checks, blowdown activities, and water treatment program tasks per site standards.
• Troubleshoot steam pressure/quality issues and coordinate corrective work on burners, feedwater, controls, traps, and related components.

• Operate and monitor air compressors, dryers, filters, receivers, and distribution systems to maintain required pressure and air quality.
• Identify and respond to air system issues affecting production (pressure drop, excessive moisture, unusual compressor cycling, leaks).

• Monitor AHUs, make‑up air systems, ventilation, exhaust, and other building support utilities impacting environment and process reliability.
• Perform basic troubleshooting and coordinate repairs related to motors, belts, bearings, dampers, sensors, and controls.

• Conduct routine checks and coordinate service/impairments for fire protection systems (fire pumps, valves, panels, inspections/testing support).
• Support operational continuity for site security systems (access control, alarms, cameras) by coordinating with vendors/IT/site security as required.
• Maintain documentation for inspections, impairments, and corrective actions.

• Execute assigned PMs, operator care tasks, and basic corrective repairs; generate work orders for follow‑up maintenance.
• Coordinate contractor activity in utility areas (permits, safety requirements, scope clarity, verification of completion).
• Maintain accurate shift logs, readings, and handoff notes; document work in CMMS.

• Track/communicate leading indicators (abnormal readings, repeat alarms, vibration/noise changes, leaks, degraded performance).
• Participate in root cause analysis and improvement actions to reduce downtime, energy waste, and recurring failures.

• Take immediate actions to stabilize utilities and protect personnel, product, and equipment during upsets.
• Escalate conditions requiring shutdown, isolation, or emergency response per site procedures.
• Recommend repairs, operating changes, PM improvements, and spare parts based on observed conditions and trends.

• Safety‑first mindset and operational discipline
• Troubleshooting / problem solving
• Clear communication and shift handoff quality
• Planning & prioritization during outages/upsets
• Team collaboration with Ops, Maintenance, and Contractors

• Working knowledge of industrial utility operations: NH₃ refrigeration, steam/boilers (150…
