About The Position

This is an opportunity for a mechanically minded professional to take an active role in operating and maintaining the utility systems that keep our facility running.

If you enjoy understanding how systems work, diagnosing problems, and taking pride in safe, reliable equipment, this role offers the chance to put those skills to work every day. Reliable utilities are essential to our operation. In this role, you’ll monitor system performance, complete scheduled equipment rounds, perform preventive maintenance, troubleshoot problems, and help keep critical infrastructure operating safely and effectively. You’ll also play an important role in our safety programs, including Process Safety Management procedures and Hazmat emergency response. Your impact is straightforward: help keep the systems behind the operation safe, reliable, and ready when they’re needed.
