Job description

Roswell, United States

This role exists to protect uptime, safety, and operational continuity within a high-volume food manufacturing facility. The Utilities Technician ensures the core mechanical and environmental systems—steam, refrigeration, compressed air, water treatment, fire protection, and HVAC—operate with precision and compliance.

This is not a reactive maintenance position. It is a mission-critical operations role that safeguards production integrity and regulatory compliance 24/7.

Performance Objectives (What Success Looks Like)

Maintain Operational Continuity

Ensure steam generation, refrigeration, compressed air, HVAC, fire systems, and water treatment systems operate at optimal levels with minimal downtime.

Ensure Regulatory Compliance

Operate within strict adherence to PSM, NMDA, EPA, OSHA, NMED, SQF, and related regulatory frameworks—no shortcuts, no drift.

Drive Safe System Operations

Safely manage hazardous chemicals, pressure systems, and high-temperature environments while modeling best-in-class PPE discipline.

Troubleshoot with Precision

Diagnose and resolve mechanical and system failures quickly, minimizing production disruption and preventing repeat issues.

Support a 24/7 Manufacturing Mission

Contribute to rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays as required to maintain uninterrupted facility performance.

Fit Traits (Who Thrives Here)

Operates with a safety-first mindset under pressure

Comfortable working in high-noise, temperature-variable environments

Communicates clearly across production and maintenance teams

Demonstrates initiative in troubleshooting and problem resolution

Physically capable and confident working at heights, in confined spaces, and around industrial equipment

Reliable in a structured, compliance-driven setting

Why This Role Matters

Utilities systems are the backbone of production. When they fail, everything stops. When they operate flawlessly, the plant moves forward without disruption.

This position is designed for individuals who take ownership of systems others depend on—professionals who understand that reliability, compliance, and safety are not optional. They are foundational.

If you are a technician who thrives in structured, high-accountability environments and wants your impact measured in uptime, safety, and operational excellence—this role exists for you.
