Boiler Technicians
Job Description
FIFO Shift Schedule: 3 weeks on / 3 weeks off (12-hour days)
Job Description:
Boiler Technicians are accountable for the safe operation, maintenance, and repair of heating systems in remote camp environments. Operating in high-consequence, cold-weather conditions, this role requires strong technical judgment, disciplined troubleshooting, and zero tolerance for safety lapses.
You’ll be responsible for ensuring uninterrupted heat across camps by maintaining boilers, furnaces, frost fighters, and Toyo stoves throughout the winter operating season. This is not light-duty maintenance work—it’s mission-critical infrastructure support in remote locations where failure is not an option.
This is a fly-in/fly-out camp-based role supporting remote project sites. Meals, accommodations, and travel are provided.
Key responsibilities include:
- Installing, maintaining, and repairing boilers and associated heating equipment
- Servicing frost fighters, diesel Toyo stoves, and propane-fired furnaces and heaters
- Inspecting and testing systems to ensure safe, compliant operation
- Diagnosing and resolving boiler and heating system malfunctions
- Monitoring system performance and making operational adjustments as required
- Maintaining accurate maintenance and repair records
- Recommending system improvements or upgrades
- Training and mentoring junior technicians when required
- Adhering strictly to safety protocols, codes, and industry standards
- Collaborating with other trades and site teams to support camp operations
