Reporting to the Utility Manager, the HVAC & Utility Mechanical Engineer is responsible for the full operation, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and optimization of all clean-room HVAC, process cooling, and facility mechanical utility systems for 24/7 PV solar cell manufacturing. This role directly sustains clean-room environmental stability, process cooling reliability, and factory energy efficiency, ensuring consistent production yield and uninterrupted fab operation.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Operate, monitor and adjust all central utility and cleanroom mechanical equipment, and perform daily patrol, equipment switching and load regulation to sustain stable system operation.
- Monitor and adjust cleanroom temperature, humidity, pressure and other critical parameters dynamically to stabilize production environment and guarantee product yield.
- Execute regular preventive maintenance for HVAC and cooling equipment, manage maintenance logs and spare parts to ensure high system reliability and equipment uptime.
- Troubleshoot mechanical and utility equipment faults and provide emergency response to quickly restore system operation and reduce production downtime.
- Analyze utility energy consumption, lead energy-saving optimization projects, and support system upgrade, renovation and project acceptance work.
- Follow plant safety and LOTO standards, maintain standardized operation SOPs, and cooperate with relevant teams to ensure safe and compliant utility system operation.
EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE/SKILLS:
- Associate or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, HVAC, Refrigeration, Mechatronics, or a related engineering field.
- Hands-on experience maintaining cleanroom HVAC, PCW process cooling, chiller, and tower systems in PV solar, semiconductor, or high-tech manufacturing is strongly preferred.
- Solid understanding of cleanroom environmental control principles, temperature/humidity/pressure stability standards.
- Familiar with industrial chilled water circulation, central HVAC systems, and mechanical utility PM workflows.
- Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills, able to diagnose and resolve system instability independently.
- Proactive safety mindset, disciplined work ethic, and ability to participate in 24/7 on-call emergency standby.
- Good documentation skills and cross-functional teamwork capabilities.
