Energy / utilities engineer

You run and improve the site utilities: electricity, compressed air, steam, chilled water and pumps. You turn meter data into a load profile, find the waste and size the fixes.

Routine

Daily

  • Check utility plant readings and alarms

Weekly

  • Load profile review (peak, base load, load factor)
  • Compressed air and steam leak tags

Monthly+

  • Energy cost per unit of output
  • Boiler and chiller performance checks
  • Power factor and demand review

KPIs you are measured on

Top pains and how to handle them

Base load stays high at night and weekends

Compare the base load with the production load; list what runs when nothing is produced.

Compressors run to cover leaks

Tag and fix leaks, then lower the pressure set point step by step.

Savings are claimed but never measured

Agree the measurement method before the project, and compare against an adjusted baseline.
