About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Troubleshooting, repairing, and commissioning burner management systems and flame safeguard controls on industrial firetube and watertube boilers.
Performing combustion tuning and analysis — setting linkage or parallel positioning, dialing in fuel/air ratios, verifying O2 trim, and documenting results against efficiency and emissions targets.
Diagnosing and programming PLC- and HMI-based control systems, including modulating controls, feedwater and level controls, draft controls, and lead/lag sequencing.
Executing controls retrofits and upgrades — replacing obsolete flame safeguard, converting linkage systems to parallel positioning, and integrating new instrumentation into existing plant systems.
Conducting startups and commissioning on new equipment installations, including loop checks, functional testing, and safety interlock verification.
Responding to emergency service calls within the territory and participating in a shared on-call rotation.
Writing clear, defensible service documentation — what failed, what you did, what the customer should plan for next.
Advising customers directly on reliability, efficiency, and code compliance, and flagging legitimate opportunities for the sales and project teams.

What you’ll need

Three to five years of hands-on experience in boiler controls, combustion controls, or burner service on industrial boilers.

Familiarity with combustion analyzers and the judgment to interpret what they are telling you.
Comfort working around gas trains, high-pressure steam, and energized equipment, with the safety discipline that comes with it.
Customer-facing professionalism — you will be the face of the company in the boiler room, often in front of a plant manager who is having a bad day.
Valid driver's license and a clean motor vehicle record.
Willingness to travel within the territory and participate in on-call rotation.
**Nice to Have**
Low NOx burner experience and familiarity with local emissions requirements.
PLC programming experience — Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar.
Experience with parallel positioning conversions and O2 trim system installations.
