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, identifies common equipment issues, completes assigned scopes with limited supervision, and helps develop less-experienced team members. The mechanic maintains field records and customer updates, participates in training, and progresses toward advanced burner, controls, code-repair, and troubleshooting capability. Travel and overtime are required as needed.

The position involves work at customer and industrial sites, potentially in confined spaces, on ladders or scaffolding, and in other physically demanding environments. Physical activities include regular foot use; frequent sitting, standing, walking, stooping, kneeling, squatting, reaching, and keyboarding; occasional climbing, crawling, pushing, pulling, and gripping; and lifting up to 25 pounds regularly and up to 100 pounds or more occasionally. Environmental exposures may include wet or humid conditions, moving mechanical parts, elevated work areas, fumes or airborne particles, chemicals, extreme temperatures, electrical hazards, and vibration.

Requirements

• High school diploma, GED, or equivalent preferred.
• Typically two or more years of relevant boiler, industrial mechanical, pipe fitting, welding, or service experience, or demonstrated equivalent proficiency.
• Ability to complete routine boiler-mechanical assignments with limited supervision.
• Working ability to read mechanical drawings, pipe drawings, equipment manuals, and basic electrical diagrams.
• 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 perform the physical activities and work in the environmental conditions described, with reasonable accommodation where applicable.

• Independently perform routine boiler-mechanical assignments in accordance with project scope, daily 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.
• Perform routine refractory inspection, identify failures, patch and install refractory, 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; and 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.
