Job Description

Step into a day at the plant

From your first system check in the control room to your last field round, you’ll keep a Stamford, CT power facility running safely, efficiently, and reliably. Reporting to the Plant Manager, you’ll watch over critical plant systems, react to alarms, and move seamlessly between DCS controls and hands-on equipment work. It’s a role for someone who thrives on variety, precision, and accountability.

What you’ll do

  • Continuously monitor the health of plant equipment and processes via the DCS and in the field.
  • Make routine rounds to spot abnormal conditions early and address potential issues before they become problems.
  • Respond immediately to alarms; take protective and corrective actions to safeguard equipment and maintain generation.
  • Start up, adjust, and secure plant equipment from the Distributed Control System or directly at the equipment.
  • Tune operating parameters to achieve safe, compliant, and optimized performance.
  • Operate plant systems manually when needed.
  • Execute multi‑discipline maintenance within your capabilities: mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and instrumentation.
  • Complete work orders covering repairs, replacements, and scheduled maintenance tasks.
  • Troubleshoot motors, motor controllers, VFDs, UPS systems, switches, sensors, and control devices.
  • Operate heavy equipment such as boom trucks, forklifts, flatbed pickups, and utility vehicles.
  • Support preventive maintenance, spare‑parts tracking, and inventory control.
  • Assist with planning, scheduling, and executing outages—both forced and planned.
  • Maintain accurate logs, reports, and documentation per plant requirements.

What makes you a great fit

  • Detail‑driven technician who values safe, reliable operations.
  • Equally comfortable in the control room and out in the yard.
  • 1+ year of hands‑on troubleshooting and maintenance spanning mechanical, electrical, and control systems.
  • Strong situational awareness—able to identify issues early and act quickly to protect people and assets.
  • Enjoys a mix of operations monitoring, technical repairs, and outage support.
