- Demonstrated knowledge of the Technical Standards and Safety Act and applicable boiler and pressure vessel regulations, including mandatory daily and shift testing, inspections, and record-keeping requirements.
- Strong technical knowledge of building automation systems (BAS), chiller and HVAC plants, electrical distribution, and fire and life-safety systems, with demonstrated troubleshooting and alarm-response skills.
- Ability to work independently during overnight shifts, exercise sound judgment under pressure, and respond effectively to urgent building or equipment issues.
- Strong organizational, written and verbal communication, and record-keeping skills, including proficiency with computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) and building automation platforms.
