Boiler Mechanic

As a Boiler Mechanic you'll spend your time on stick and TIG welding, with the rest split across mechanical systems, piping, pump work, heat exchanger installs, and full pressure vessel repair — real variety, real responsibility across a diverse book of industrial and commercial customers.

Responsibilities

Welding (~30% of time)

• Perform STIC and TIG welding pipe, fittings, flanges, and pressure vessel components following approved welding code procedures.
• Execute fixed-position 6G pipe welds to code; maintain weld quality and documentation standards required for ASME pressure vessel work.
• Fabricate and weld custom brackets, supports, and structural components as required during installation and repair projects.
• Use torch proficiently for cutting, heating, and fitting preparation

Heat exchangers & pressure vessels

• Install, replace, and maintain heat exchangers; perform tube rolling, bundle removal and re-installation, and shell inspection.
• Perform full pressure vessel repairs including shell patch welding, nozzle replacement, refractory removal and replacement, and re-certification support.

Preventive maintenance

• Open, inspect, and close boilers and pressure vessels per PM schedule; document findings and condition of internal components with attention to detail and accuracy.
• Re-gasket flanges, manholes, handholes, and access covers using correct gasket materials and torque specifications.
• Perform burner service and safety-valve testing as part of scheduled PM visits.
• Perform general maintenance tasks including lubrication, hardware replacement, and minor repairs to keep equipment in reliable operating condition.

Mechanical work & piping

• Install, repair, and replace piping systems; perform pipe threading, fitting, and layout from blueprints and drawings.

• Install, align, and service pumps and associated mechanical equipment; perform packing, seal, and coupling replacements.

• Size pipe, valves, and system components to meet design specifications.

• Perform minor rigging during equipment installation — including lifting, positioning, and securing boilers, heat exchangers, pumps, and vessels using appropriate rigging hardware and practices.

• Complete work orders, daily activity reports, and as-built documentation accurately and on time.

• Maintain a valid driver's license and clean driving record.

• Work overtime and weekends as necessary; respond to emergency service calls.

• Perform other related duties as assigned by the Service Manager.

Physical requirements

Must be physically fit and able to: work with hands above the head for extended periods; carry a 50 lb pail 50 feet without difficulty; climb and descend ladders; and bend, kneel, and crouch for extended periods. Work takes place in industrial and mechanical room environments including confined spaces and extreme temperatures. PPE including welding gear, respirator, and fall-arrest harness is required.
