## Description

**Boiler Operator / Operating Engineer**

**Position Summary**

The Boiler Operator / Operating Engineer is responsible for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation, monitoring, inspection, and basic maintenance of the Showboat Hotel's central utility plant, including high-pressure steam boilers, refrigeration/chilled-water systems, and associated auxiliary equipment.

The position requires a New Jersey Department of Labor Operating Engineer's License with a minimum Blue Seal (Grade C) classification in both Steam and Refrigeration, appropriate to the equipment operated.

The Showboat's central plant includes 850 boiler-horsepower steam boilers and 1,280-ton chillers.

**Required New Jersey Licenses**

The successful candidate must hold both of the following New Jersey Department of Labor Blue Seal (Grade C) Operating Engineer licenses, or higher:

- **NJ Blue Seal 1-C - Steam Engineer's License**
* Required for operation of the Showboat's high-pressure steam boiler plant.
* The facility operates **850 boiler-horsepower steam boilers**, with each boiler exceeding 500 boiler horsepower.
- **NJ Blue Seal 2-C - Refrigeration Engineer's License**
* Required for operation of the Showboat's large refrigeration/chilled-water plant.
* The facility operates **1,280-ton chillers**, with each chiller exceeding 500 tons of refrigeration capacity.

Applicants must possess both the Steam (1-C) and Refrigeration (2-C) Blue Seal licenses, or higher classifications that encompass the required equipment. A license in only one discipline does not meet the requirements of this position.

- Respond to equipment alarms, emergencies, and operating irregularities.
- Perform routine preventive maintenance and assist engineering personnel with troubleshooting and repairs.
- Monitor and maintain boiler and chilled-water treatment systems.
- Follow all applicable New Jersey boiler, pressure-vessel, refrigeration, environmental, and workplace-safety requirements.
- Follow established lockout/tagout, confined-space, chemical-handling, and other safety procedures.
- Coordinate with the Chief Engineer and engineering staff to maintain continuous and reliable plant operation.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and orderly central-plant work environment.

**Minimum Qualifications**

- Current **New Jersey Blue Seal 1-C Steam Engineer's License**, or higher.

- Demonstrated experience operating high-pressure steam boilers of **500 boiler horsepower or greater**.
- Demonstrated experience operating large commercial/industrial refrigeration or chiller systems.
- Knowledge of boiler water treatment, combustion systems, pumps, valves, steam distribution, condensate/feedwater systems, refrigeration systems, and chilled-water systems.
- Ability to read and interpret gauges, instrumentation, control systems, equipment manuals, and plant drawings.
- Ability to identify abnormal operating conditions and respond appropriately.
- Ability to work rotating shifts, weekends, holidays, and respond to plant emergencies as required.
- Ability to safely perform the physical requirements associated with central-plant operations.
