Keep mission-critical compressed air assets running at peak performance. You will install, commission, troubleshoot, and service Ingersoll Rand centrifugal compressors—specifically Centac and Turbo Air models—along with the connected ecosystem of dryers and air system components.

You arrive at a plant where production depends on a Turbo Air unit. Alarms indicate discharge temperature deviations. You confirm conditions with precision measuring tools, trace wiring with the schematic, and identify a control input anomaly. After corrective action and a clean start-up, you complete a 47-point inspection, document findings, and brief the customer on preventative actions and relevant programs like Package CARE, Audits, and Leak Detection to protect uptime.
