About the Company:
During the past 31 years, ICT has built a worldwide reputation as a results-oriented company in the areas of pulverizer and
boiler testing, combustion troubleshooting, consulting, and training services to the power industry. We excel in the areas from
the pulverizer to the stack because we understand power plant processes and operations. As a complement to our core
business, we offer a full array of diagnostic and compliance environmental testing services as well as operating a pilot scale
SCR catalyst testing laboratory.
Innovative Combustion Technologies, Inc. provides a unique environment that fosters individual growth and rewards
performance to our productive team members.

Field service engineers work alongside lead engineers and technicians performing a variety of field tests (pulverizer
performance, identification of combustion air and fuel inputs, airflow distribution, temperature mapping, system leakage) using

boilers. They assist lead engineers in collecting and reducing data and providing data in a presentable format for reports.
Field service engineers are encouraged to enhance their careers at ICT by increasing their knowledge of the business and
