What You Can Expect
As our Water Treatment Maintenance Technician, you'll play a crucial role in maintaining the University of Iowa's drinking water treatment plant and supporting the operations of the High-Quality Water Group. The Main Campus Water plant primarily treats surface water with supplemental well-water, while the High-Quality Water Group oversees various facilities including the Oakdale Water Plant, MacBride Nature Recreation Area Public Water System, and pools and spas across campus.
This position entails day shift work from Monday to Friday, with rotational on-call duties including nights, weekends, and holidays, requiring you to be on-site within one hour when called upon.
Each day brings new challenges, but our dedication to safety and service remains constant. Your day typically begins with a brief meeting to review priorities, discuss any plant updates, service requests, or staff observations, and plan the day's tasks efficiently and safely. Interacting with a diverse range of customers on campus, including students, faculty, and staff, is integral to this role. Professional and courteous communication to explain service and repair processes or address site safety concerns is part of daily interaction.
Your responsibilities encompass performing preventative maintenance and repairs on a variety of High-Quality Water equipment, including water softeners, reverse osmosis and deionization systems, stills, filtration systems, distillation systems, and ultraviolet disinfection systems. Additionally, you'll play a pivotal role in maintaining large plant equipment such as pumps, motors, valves, and compressors. Monitoring and maintaining chemical injection systems and piping systems, which may be composed of PVC, copper, steel, or other materials, is also a crucial aspect of your duties. Electrical troubleshooting skills are essential, involving tasks such as checking voltage to pumps, switches, and motors. Other routine duties include flushing equipment and piping systems, replacing filters, and conducting equipment inspections. Documentation of completed preventative maintenance work, repairs, and other tasks using our computerized maintenance management system (Maximo) is essential.
One of the appealing aspects of this role is its dynamic nature, with work occurring across both the main and satellite campus, offering a varied and engaging work environment that is not confined to a single plant location.
