Plant Operations Engineer
Biotech / Life Sciences · New England
Finding someone with five-plus years of facility maintenance experience who also holds (or will quickly obtain) a Maine high-pressure boiler license isn't a casual search—especially for a pre-FDA-approval vaccine manufacturing site where the role eventually leads to plant management. The compensation ceiling around $75K plus overtime is reasonable but doesn't exactly pull candidates away from stable union or industrial gigs. This was a repeat client in biotech, and we moved from search start to accepted offer in seven days. The role reports to the Facilities and Engineering Manager with a clear path to leadership once licensing is complete.
