• Service reverse osmosis (RO) systems, including filters, membranes, pumps, pressure readings, flow rates, and leak repairs.
• Maintain UV sterilization equipment and assist with lamp replacements and basic troubleshooting.
• Service laboratory filtration and high-purity water systems, including RO/DI equipment.
• Replace filters, O-rings, membranes, lamps, and other parts as needed.
• Read pressure, flow, and water-quality measurements to help identify equipment issues.
• Assist with equipment startup, testing, and commissioning after installation or repair.
• Explain equipment operation and service needs to customers in a professional manner.
• Complete service documentation and maintain accurate records of parts and work performed.
• Follow safety procedures when working around water, chemicals, electrical components, and pressurized equipment.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Experience servicing, maintaining, or repairing mechanical or plumbing equipment.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to read and interpret basic pressure, flow, and equipment readings.
• Ability to work safely around water, chemicals, electricity, and pressurized systems.
• Valid driver's license and a driving record that meets company insurance requirements.
• Reliable attendance, punctuality, and the ability to complete assigned work.
• Strong communication skills and a professional, customer-service-oriented attitude.
• Ability to work at customer sites, including industrial facilities, laboratories, mechanical rooms, and rooftops.
• Ability to lift equipment and parts and perform hands-on physical work.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Water treatment, reverse osmosis (RO), deionized water (DI), UV sterilization, or water softener systems.
• HVAC, boiler, pump service, plumbing, pipefitting, or industrial maintenance.
• Basic electrical troubleshooting, variable frequency drives (VFDs), or equipment controllers.
• Experience in pharmaceutical, food production, municipal, or laboratory facilities.
• Technical certification, apprenticeship, or training in a related trade.
