Boiler Mechanic
About The Position
The Icon Boiler Mechanic Level 2 independently performs routine boiler repair, installation, pipe fitting, welding, refractory, feedwater, and steam-system work within demonstrated qualifications. The role applies working knowledge of boiler components and operating principles, recognizes common equipment issues, completes assigned scopes with limited supervision, and supports the development of less-experienced team members. The mechanic performs work in accordance with project scope, daily planning, safety requirements, company procedures, and applicable quality controls. Work includes preparing boilers for inspection; repairing, installing, aligning, and fitting boilers and related equipment; routine firetube and watertube re-tubing; refractory work; and work on feedwater, steam, hot-water, and condensate systems. The role also maintains field records and customer updates, escalates project concerns, assists less-experienced mechanics, and participates in training to develop advanced capabilities. The position involves travel and overtime as required, with work at customer and industrial sites. Work may take place in physically demanding environments and involve exposure to elevated areas, confined spaces, hazardous materials, extreme temperatures, and other industrial conditions.

- Welding qualification or ability to pass assigned welding tests under Icon Boiler's code program when required for assigned duties.
- Working knowledge of trade math, measurements, troubleshooting, and documentation.
- Basic computer and mobile-technology proficiency.
- Professional communication, teamwork, customer focus, and willingness to coach less-experienced Associates.
- Ability to pass required drug screening and establish U.S. employment eligibility.
- Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
- Ability to meet the described physical demands, including regular lifting up to 25 pounds and occasional lifting up to 100 pounds or more, with reasonable accommodation where applicable.
- Ability to work at customer and industrial sites and in environments that may include confined spaces, ladders, scaffolding, and exposure to industrial hazards.
Responsibilities
- Independently execute routine boiler-mechanical assignments according to project scope, planning, safety requirements, company procedures, and quality controls.
- Prepare boilers for inspection and perform routine removal, installation, alignment, fit-up, and repair of boilers, burners, pumps, feedwater equipment, valves, piping, and auxiliary equipment.
- Perform oxygen-fuel cutting, brazing, soldering, pipe fitting, threading, flange assembly, gasket installation, basic welding, and approved code-welding tasks within current qualifications.
- Perform routine firetube and watertube re-tubing, including tube removal, tube-sheet preparation, tube installation, rolling, joint preparation, and hydrotest support.
- Inspect refractory, identify failures, perform patching and installation, select anchors and hardware, measure materials, and support controlled dry-out or bake-out.
- Apply working knowledge of feed tanks, condensate receivers, deaerators, economizers, feed pumps, regulators, level controls, and low-water cutoffs.
- Identify and troubleshoot basic boiler, burner, pump, feedwater, steam, hot-water, and condensate-system issues and communicate findings to project leadership.
- Read basic mechanical and pipe drawings, electrical diagrams, and equipment documentation; trace and label control wiring; recognize common starters and phase-rotation requirements.
- Build routine trap assemblies and support work involving steam-regulating valves, pressure-reducing valves, expansion tanks, separators, return piping, and blowdown separators.
- Maintain field records, service reports, material needs, and customer updates; promptly escalate scope, schedule, quality, and safety concerns.
- Assist Level 1 mechanics and helpers with safe work practices, job setup, tool use, and foundational task development.
- Participate in factory and company training and progress toward advanced burner, controls, code-repair, and troubleshooting capability.
- Travel and work overtime as required.
