What a Day Looks Like

Morning kicks off with a service ticket for a Centac unit across town. You load precision gauges and tools, review wiring diagrams, and head to a customer site. On arrival, you assess the compressed air system, complete a 47-point inspection, and verify the health of supporting equipment like refrigerated and desiccant dryers. You troubleshoot vibration trends and air quality readings, track down a control anomaly in the schematic, and bring a Turbo Air compressor back within spec. Before leaving, you document everything in work orders and time sheets, coordinate parts with the Service Coordinator, and brief the customer on improvements including Package CARE, Preventive Maintenance, Diagnostics, Audits, and Leak Detection options. Another customer calls—an installation start-up is scheduled for tomorrow—so you verify parts availability and align with a supplier on procedures.

• Commission, start up, install, maintain, and repair centrifugal compressors (Centac and Turbo Air) and related compressed air components.
• Use precision measuring tools to diagnose complex issues in compressed air equipment.

• Comfort working in mechanical rooms and other varied conditions: high noise, extreme weather, elevated or confined spaces, and around high voltage per NFPA or equivalent standards.
• Ability to perform physically demanding work: frequent use of hands/fingers, walking, stooping, kneeling, and regularly lifting/moving weights per safety policy.
