Our Maintenance and Operations Division is looking to add an experienced Boiler Operator (Stationary Engineer 2) to join our team of dedicated professionals at Fircrest Residential Habilitation Center in Shoreline, WA.
As a Stationary Engineer 2, you'll perform skilled engineering and repair work related to boiler and HVAC operations. This role is essential for maintaining a safe, comfortable, and efficient environment for our residents and staff.
This is not a general engineering role-this is for hands-on operators of steam generators (also known as steam boilers, marine boilers, or hydronic heating boilers). You’ll be working directly with high-pressure steam systems, utilizing advanced combustion control systems such as Cleaver-Brooks HAWK, Allen Bradley, Fireye, Metasys, and similar platforms. If you have a passion for the practical side of engineering—keeping critical systems running safely and efficiently—this is your calling.
If you're still reading this, and you're a skilled HVAC and Boiler Technician interested in being considered for this opportunity, we highly encourage you to take the next step! Don't delay - apply today!
