• Perform minor insulation work using prefabricated mineral insulating material, binding, plastic, cement, and similar materials.
• Diagnose, test, and repair all types of plumbing lines and fixtures, from routine maintenance through to major breakdowns that do not respond to routine repair.
• Operate gas welding equipment to cut, burn, and solder as necessary to complete work assignments; may be required to work with hazardous waste.
• Maintain logs, records, and charts as required, and keep current all certifications and licenses required by state or local authorities.
• Accurately and promptly complete job-related documentation, including work orders, timesheets, and safety reports, and input information from paper work orders into digital systems.
• Ensure, promote, and maintain health and safety practices and compliance across the site and workplace.
• Perform other reasonable duties as requested.
Required Qualifications
• Journeyman license (candidates from Arizona must hold and maintain a “Contractor” license.)
• Hold a White Card (Construction Induction) certification.
• Minimum of four years of post-trade experience.
• Strong understanding of the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act and applicable EHS policies and procedures.
• Demonstrated understanding of, and experience working within, facility maintenance or a similar technical environment.
• Strong understanding of equipment maintenance requirements (preventive, predictive, and corrective).
• Demonstrated high level of problem-solving, decision-making, and analytical skills.
• Be medically fit to safely complete all physical tasks of the role, including carrying and controlling moderate to heavy loads and safely traversing and accessing maintenance environments that may be uneven or cramped.
