Stationary Engineer Classes Now Open For Registration!

2nd Class Stationary Engineer: A 2nd Class Stationary Engineer is the entry level operator within the Stationary Engineering Program. This licensing level allows the individual to operate a 175-horsepower boiler plant along with 150 tons of refrigeration under the supervision of a 1st Class Stationary Engineer and or a Chief Stationary Engineer.

1st Class Stationary Engineer: A 1st Class Stationary Engineer is the next step (Intermediate level) in the stationary engineering program. Many operators achieve their 1st Class Stationary Engineer License and remain at this level for their entire career as it is a non-management operator role. This licensing level allows the individual to operate a 299-horsepower boiler plant along with 299 tons of refrigeration. A 1st class license allows the operator to work alone but must still be supervised by a Chief Engineer.

Chief Stationary Engineer: A Chief Stationary Engineer is the highest-level operator within the stationary engineering program. Traditionally, there are fewer operators who achieve their Chief Stationary Engineer License as this level is treated as a management operator role with oversight of a large facility and crews of engineers of all levels. This licensing level allows the individual to operate an unlimited amount of boiler horsepower within a designated plant along with an unlimited number of tons of refrigeration
