At Jacobs, we challenge what is currently accepted, so we can shape innovative and lasting solutions for tomorrow. Through the delivery of our operations and maintenance services, you’ll make it simpler and more seamless for our municipal clients to operate safely and efficiently, empowering communities to focus on what matters most to them – people.
Jacobs is seeking a motivated Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Technician to support our facilities operations team in Orlando, Florida. In this role, you will perform scheduled route-based data collection using vibration, infrared (IR), ultrasonic (airborne/leak survey), and ultrasonic lubrication techniques (Grease Caddy). Collect accurate field data, update designated spreadsheets/databases, and hand off all analysis work to the Reliability Engineer.
- No diagnostic analysis, fault diagnosis, or recommendation development is performed by this role.
Key Responsibilities
1. Route Execution & Data Collection
- Execute assigned predictive maintenance routes according to the established schedule and route plans.
- Collect vibration data (route-based measurements with portable analyzers) following defined measurement points, orientations, and procedures.
- Perform infrared thermography surveys on designated equipment (motors, bearings, electrical panels, process equipment, etc.) using approved IR cameras and following safety and measurement protocols.
- Conduct ultrasonic airborne surveys leak detection using ultrasonic instruments.
- Perform ultrasonic lubrication activities (grease application guided by ultrasonic feedback where applicable) per route instructions and lubrication standards.
- Ensure all measurements are taken under the correct operating conditions (when possible).
2. Data Management & Spreadsheet Updates
- Download, transfer, and organize collected data (vibration files, IR images/reports, ultrasonic readings) into the designated systems or shared folders.
- Update assigned spreadsheets, databases, or work-order systems with:
- Collection dates and times
- Measurement values/readings
- Equipment status notes
- Any observations of abnormal conditions, access problems, or safety issues
- Confirmation that the route was completed
- Maintain accurate, timely, and complete records so the Reliability Engineer can perform analysis without needing to re-collect or clarify basic data.
- Flag any obvious data quality issues (poor signal, sensor problems, missing points) in the spreadsheet notes for the Reliability Engineer.
3. Handoff to Reliability Engineer
- Promptly notify or transfer completed route data and updated spreadsheets to the Reliability Engineer after each route or per the defined schedule.
- Provide clear, factual field notes only (no interpretation or diagnosis).
- Support follow-up requests from the Reliability Engineer by clarifying collection details or re-collecting specific points when needed (under direction).
4. Equipment Care & Preparation
- Maintain, charge, calibrate (as trained), and properly store vibration analyzers, IR cameras, ultrasonic instruments, and related accessories.
- Perform basic pre-use checks and report instrument problems or calibration due dates to supervision.
- Ensure proper use of sensors, mounts, contact tools, and safety accessories.
5. Continuous Improvement Support
- Suggest practical improvements to routes (access issues, missing points, better measurement locations) based on field experience.
- Assist with route creation or updates when directed (adding points, updating asset lists in spreadsheets).
- Participate in required training on instrument operation, data collection best practices, and safety.
Bring your team-focus, adaptability, and commitment to excellence, and we’ll help you grow what drives you – and deliver the world’s most challenging Operations Management projects, together.
