Key Responsibilities:
System Operation & Monitoring:
- Operate and monitor ammonia compressors (screw and reciprocal), condensers, evaporators, pumps, and utility systems.
- Review and analysis the log sheet for record temperatures, pressures, amperage readings, and flow rates via distributed control systems (DCS) or gauge logs.
- Oversee plant start-ups, planned shutdowns, and changeovers.
Service, Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
- Execute and follow up routine preventative and predictive maintenance per company schedules and Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS).
- Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and control faults in ammonia circuits and safety interlocks.
- Perform rapid emergency response, leak detection, isolation, and rectification of ammonia systems.
Process Optimization & Engineering Support:
- Evaluate equipment performance (such as heat exchangers or cooling towers) using simulation tools (e.g., ASPEN HYSYS, HTRI).
- Support engineering commissioning, design validation, and reliability improvements.
- Review instrument setting changes and draft technical performance reports.
Safety, Compliance & Permitting:
- Enforce strict compliance with local legislative requirements, EPA/RETA guidelines, and OSHA safety standards for hazardous materials.
- Monitor ammonia detection alarms and manage emergency safety equipment (scBA, eyewash stations, dump tanks).
Required Qualifications:
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Electronics Engineering.
- Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of industrial refrigeration principles, vapor-compression cycles, and ammonia (NH₃) safety and handling standards.
- Experience: 5 to 10 years in technical after-sales and service, or refrigeration engineering (familiarity with brands like Danfoss, screw and reciprocation compressors
- Ability to read P&ID (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) and mechanical/electrical schematics.
- Good communication and presentation skills.
- Willingness to travel for on-site plant visits and customer evaluations.
