Role Snapshot

Based in Dayton, OH, you’ll be the go-to expert keeping our chilled water systems reliable and efficient. With 8 years of hands-on experience overhauling chillers, you know how to bring complex equipment back to peak performance—and you enjoy the challenge.

A Day in the Life

Morning starts with a quick review of overnight trends from the chiller plant. You scan logs, spot a subtle efficiency dip, and schedule an adjustment to optimize load and setpoints. Before lunch, you’re deep into a planned teardown on a chiller you’ve slated for overhaul—verifying tolerances, replacing worn components, and documenting every step. In the afternoon, you partner with a teammate at the cooling tower, chase down a vibration anomaly, and close the loop with precise repairs.
