Skilled technicians are needed to operate and maintain a building infrastructure and related equipment. Facility operation and maintenance technicians must have the knowledge and skills needed to service and repair HVAC and refrigeration equipment, building control systems, and plant process and production equipment. Facility operation and maintenance technicians are also responsible for boiler operation, the maintenance needed to sustain facility and plant production activities, and maintaining comfort for building occupants. Training for careers in facility operation and maintenance can be obtained at an accredited technical school or through an apprenticeship such as the stationary engineer apprenticeship offered by the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE). This apprenticeship training also leads to qualification for stationary engineer licenses, which are required by most states.
