About this position
Mission of the RoleThis role exists to protect uptime, safety, and operational continuity within a high-volume food manufacturing facility. The Utilities Technician ensures the core mechanical and environmental systems—steam, refrigeration, compressed air, water treatment, fire protection, and HVAC—operate with precision and compliance.
