** At the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, our physical infrastructure is the foundation that allows us to provide access to higher education across Northeast Wisconsin. As a Power Plant Operator II, you take ownership of our central physical plant, driving the operational reliability of high-capacity boilers, chillers, electrical generation equipment, and compressed air systems. In this crucial role, you do more than log readings and adjust water chemistry—you directly empower success by maintaining a safe, climate-controlled environment where students, faculty, and researchers can thrive.

Together, we rise when our central systems run seamlessly, and your technical vigilance keeps our entire campus energized.

Built for a hands-on mechanical technician who takes pride in proactive problem-solving, this 24/7 rotating shift role (including nights, weekends, and holidays) calls for an operator ready to advance fearlessly against complex mechanical and electrical challenges. Working alongside a dedicated facilities team that values building community and expressing gratitude for every team member's contribution, you will execute routine maintenance, handle emergency responses, and support cross-departmental utility needs.

If you bring strong technical instincts, respect for safety, and a desire to keep critical infrastructure performing at peak efficiency, we invite you to power the future at UW-Green Bay.##
