Boiler Technician

Boiler Technician

We are seeking an experienced Boiler Technician with deep expertise in controls, instrumentation, and combustion systems. This role centers on the electrical side of boiler service — diagnosing faults, tuning burners, commissioning systems, and keeping equipment running safely through disciplined preventive maintenance.

Job Requirements (What You'll Do)

• Control & Instrumentation
  • Inspect, test, calibrate, and replace electrical control components.
• Electrical Troubleshooting
  • Diagnose electrical faults across boiler control circuits using multimeters.
  • Trace wiring issues, identify failed components, and resolve intermittent faults systematically.
  • Read and interpret electrical schematics, ladder diagrams, and control panel drawings to isolate root causes quickly and accurately.
• Burner Management & Combustion Tuning
  • Service and maintain burner management systems and flame safeguard controllers (Honeywell, Fireye, Siemens, Cleaver-Brooks, and similar).
  • Perform combustion analysis using flue gas analyzers. Tune air-to-fuel ratios across the full firing range to optimize efficiency, minimize emissions, and maintain safe operation.
  • Adjust and verify modulation control, high/low fire setpoints, and burner sequencing.
• Preventative Maintenance
  • Perform scheduled electrical PM tasks on all boiler control systems.
  • Conduct annual safety device testing including low-water cutoff, high-limit, and flame failure response per code and insurance requirements.
• Startups
  • Execute electrical commissioning on new installations and post-repair boiler systems. Verify wiring, confirm control power, and test all interlocks and safety devices prior to first fire.
  • Confirm proper sequencing, safety shutdown function, and setpoint configuration. Perform and document initial combustion analysis at startup.
• Document all work, parts, and notes in NetSuite mobile.
• Work independently in the field while coordinating with the service, parts, and sales team.

Experience & Qualifications

• High School diploma required
• 3+ years of field experience preferred (boiler industry, HVAC, or electrical controls)
• Strong troubleshooting ability — able to diagnose issues, not just replace parts
• Working knowledge of:
  • Boiler room equipment and steam systems
  • Combustion testing equipment
  • Parallel positioning systems and controllers
  • Electrical systems, test equipment, and conduit installation
  • PLC programs and control systems
• Ability to manage time, prioritize work, and adapt in the field
• Strong customer service skills and professional communication
• Valid driver's license required with acceptable motor vehicle record
• Ability to pass background check and drug screening

Work Environment & Expectations

• Flexibility to work overtime, nights, or weekends when needed
• Participation in an on-call rotation for emergency service
• Ability to handle multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and safety standards
