Description du poste

The Icon Boiler Mechanic Level 3 performs advanced boiler and pressure-vessel repair, installation, troubleshooting, welding, pipe fitting, refractory, burner, controls, feedwater, and steam-system work. This role independently addresses complex assignments, applies strong knowledge of ASME and NBIC requirements within assigned authority, mentors developing mechanics, and partners with project, service, quality, and customer teams to deliver safe, compliant, and reliable results.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Plan and independently execute advanced boiler-mechanical scopes, coordinating labor, tools, materials, sequencing, safety controls, and field documentation with project leadership.
• Perform complex firetube and watertube boiler repair and installation, including burner removal and alignment, pressure-part preparation, tube replacement and rolling, fit-up, hydrotest preparation, and inspection support.
• Perform TIG, MIG, and stick welding; code welding; oxygen-fuel cutting; brazing; and complex fit-up within current qualifications and approved procedures.
• Apply ASME Section I basics, NBIC repair concepts, pressure-boundary awareness, safety-valve requirements, material identification, and weld-joint preparation requirements to assigned work.
• Diagnose boiler, burner, gas-train, draft, ignition, combustion, pump, level-control, feedwater, steam, hydronic, condensate, and auxiliary-equipment issues and recommend corrective actions.
• Work with process, forced-draft, premix, atmospheric, condensing, and electric boiler or burner systems within demonstrated qualifications.
• Read and interpret mechanical, pipe, and electrical drawings; identify control components; evaluate line/load conditions, motor starters, phase rotation, and basic instrumentation; and complete authorized control-wiring tasks.
• Execute advanced refractory scopes, including failure identification, material and anchor selection, installation planning, monitoring heat-up and cool-down cycles, and dry-out or bake-out activities.
• Install and troubleshoot deaerators, economizers, feed tanks, condensate receivers, feed pumps, regulators, low-water cutoffs, steam traps, pressure-reducing stations, heat exchangers, expansion tanks, separators, and return systems.
• Coordinate with the Quality Control Manager, Mechanical Operations Manager, project leadership, service coordination, engineering, and sales as needed to resolve field issues and support customer solutions.
• Mentor Level 1 and Level 2 mechanics and helpers; demonstrate proper methods; verify understanding; and reinforce safety, quality, productivity, documentation, and customer-service expectations.
• Identify changes in scope, schedule, materials, or field conditions and communicate them promptly through the established project workflow.
• Maintain required welding qualifications, complete assigned factory or technical training, and continuously expand advanced trade knowledge.
• Travel and work overtime as required.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

• High school diploma, GED, or equivalent preferred.
• Typically five or more years of relevant boiler service, repair, installation, industrial mechanical, pipe fitting, or welding experience, or demonstrated equivalent proficiency.
• Demonstrated capability to independently complete advanced boiler-mechanical assignments and troubleshoot complex field conditions.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical, piping, electrical, and code-related drawings and documentation.
• Current welding qualifications appropriate to assigned work; 6G qualification and experience with code repairs strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of ASME Section I principles, NBIC inspection and repair concepts, approved welding procedures, material control, and pressure testing.
• Strong trade math, reasoning, problem-solving, planning, and documentation capability.
• Proficiency with business and mobile technology used for field reports, timekeeping, project workflows, and communication.
• Strong customer communication, teamwork, and mentoring skills.
• Ability to pass required drug screening and establish U.S. employment eligibility.
• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
• Advanced boiler and pressure‑vessel repair and installation
• Complex re‑tubing, code welding, fit‑up, material control, and pressure testing
• Advanced boiler, burner, combustion, draft, and gas‑train troubleshooting
• Advanced feedwater, steam, hydronic, condensate, and refractory knowledge
• Interpretation of mechanical, piping, electrical, and code documentation
• Planning assigned scopes and communicating field changes
• Technical mentoring and verification of work quality
