The technician works closely with engineering, process control, and maintenance teams in a 24/7 manufacturing environment.

Requirements

• A Bachelor’s or technical degree (or equivalent) is preferred; Relevant work experience will be considered in lieu of formal education.
• 2+ years of hands‑on experience with industrial refrigeration or HVAC systems.
• Direct service or maintenance of chillers, refrigeration compressors, or heat‑exchangers is required.
• OSHA 30‑hour general industry safety course is required
• Technical Skills: Familiarity with basic PLC/automation troubleshooting, Competence in leak‑detector usage and pressure‑test equipment, Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and maintenance manuals.

Nice To Haves

• Any HVAC or industrial refrigeration certification (ASHRAE/ISO, OCP/EMI) is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Daily Operation & Monitoring Observe chiller and heat‑exchanger performance (temperature, pressure, flow, power). Log operating data and flag any deviations from set‑points. Adjust controls to maintain optimal performance within safety limits.
• Preventive & Corrective Maintenance Execute scheduled PM tasks (filter changes, refrigerant checks, mechanical inspections). Use fault‑diagnosis tools (pressure gauges, hygrometers, loop‑through catchers) to isolate and resolve issues. Document all maintenance actions, including parts used and hours logged.
• Emergency Response & Troubleshooting Respond to alarms or system failures in a rapid, systematic way. Perform root‑cause analysis (24‑hour Log check, visual inspection, data trend). Restore service while maintaining safety and regulatory compliance.
