Frequently asked questions
A Plant Engineer II should be proficient in troubleshooting mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems. Familiarity with blueprints and schematics is crucial, especially when maintaining hospital equipment. These capabilities ensure efficient plant operations and compliance with safety standards in Aurora's healthcare environment.
At Prime Healthcare Services, this role demands expertise not only in general plant maintenance but also in specialized systems like medical gas. The healthcare context requires strict adherence to safety protocols, making this position more complex compared to typical industrial plant engineer jobs.
Progression often involves gaining certifications in HVAC, electrical systems, or project management. Expanding skills in medical gas systems and plant safety can lead to supervisory or plant manager roles, especially in healthcare settings where specialized knowledge is highly valued.
Many assume it’s purely mechanical work, but it also involves detailed logging, safety compliance, and cross-disciplinary maintenance including medical gas systems. The role demands both hands-on repair skills and administrative precision, especially in regulated environments like hospitals.
Aurora's growing healthcare sector drives steady demand for skilled plant engineers. While competition exists, candidates with experience in hospital plant systems and valid state driver’s licenses have an advantage for full-time day shift roles.
Aurora’s suburban layout means most Plant Engineer II positions, including at Prime Healthcare, require reliable transportation. Traffic during peak hours can affect commute times, so candidates should consider proximity and driving flexibility, which aligns with job duties involving company travel.
Employees can tailor benefits including paid time off, 401(k) plans, and health coverage (medical, dental, vision). Tuition reimbursement and voluntary options support ongoing personal and professional development, fostering a positive work-life balance within the healthcare plant engineering role.
Prime Healthcare demands a strong focus on maintaining medical gas systems and strict compliance with safety standards, unlike many industrial plants. This adds complexity to daily tasks, requiring engineers to be vigilant and adaptable within a patient-centric environment.
Salaries typically range from $22.47 to $34.48 per hour, influenced by experience, credentials, and specific skill sets. Prime Healthcare Services considers these factors during hiring, ensuring compensation aligns with local market rates and individual expertise.
While Plant Engineer II focuses on facility maintenance, there’s overlap with environmental engineering in managing HVAC and plumbing systems to optimize energy use and safety. Knowledge of plant science aids understanding of system impacts, especially in hospital settings requiring sterile environments.
