• Perform chemical testing on boilers and condenser towers.
• Troubleshoot and maintain boiler, hot-water, domestic cold-water, compressed-air, electrical, and electronic systems.
• Maintain refrigeration and utility rooms in accordance with safety and maintenance standards.
• Complete work orders, PSM documentation, refrigeration records, and operating notes.
• Follow all Safety, LOTO, GMP, SOP, and PSM requirements.
• Work independently and collaboratively with maintenance and refrigeration teams.

Required Qualifications

• At least two years of industrial ammonia refrigeration experience in a food-manufacturing environment.
• Ammonia certification from GCAP or RETA.
• EPA Type II certification.
• Strong knowledge of ammonia refrigeration systems, utilities, and related equipment.
• Ability to pass a respirator fit test and pulmonary-function test.
