Stationary Engineer

Stationary EngineerThe Stationary Engineer is a key member of the Facilities team responsible for ensuring the safe, reliable, efficient, and continuous operation of essential hospital utility and building systems. This position directly supports patient care by maintaining the infrastructure required for clinical, surgical, diagnostic, emergency, and support services to operate safely and without interruption as well as managing temperature, humidity, and pressure in critical spaces like procedure rooms and operating rooms.The Stationary Engineer performs hands-on operation and maintenance of boilers, chillers, HVAC systems, air-handling equipment, refrigeration systems, emergency generators, pumps, motors, compressors, mechanical systems, utility infrastructure, and Building Automation Systems (BAS). The position continuously monitors system performance, identifies abnormal operating conditions, responds to alarms and equipment failures, and takes corrective action to minimize downtime and protect hospital operations.This role requires a highly skilled technician who can independently troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and automated control systems and recognize how infrastructure issues may affect patient safety, infection prevention, environmental conditions, regulatory compliance, and clinical operations.Approximately one-third of the position involves field-based inspections, preventive and corrective maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, equipment rounds, and operational support throughout the hospital. The position primarily works daytime hours; however, flexibility is required to respond to facility emergencies, utility interruptions, critical equipment failures, severe weather, after-hours operational needs, and other events that may affect hospital operations.Healthcare facilities experience is strongly preferred. The ideal candidate will bring substantial experience operating and maintaining complex building systems in a hospital, central plant, industrial, institutional, or similarly regulated environment and will be comfortable using computerized controls, BAS technology, CMMS platforms, and technical documentation.
