Technical Source is partnered with a large pharmaceutical manufacturing client in Lebanon, IN on a major new facility build. They are building out the full asset register for the site and need a junior-level Field/Asset Verification Engineer to help verify and tag 30,000+ pieces of HVAC and facilities equipment.
This is a hands-on, field-focused role – not a traditional validation protocol-writing or protocol-execution position. You’ll spend most of your time in the plant and utility areas, walking down equipment, tagging assets, and entering data.
What You’ll Do
- Walk down HVAC and facilities equipment (mechanical and electrical) throughout the facility.
- Use P&IDs and equipment lists to locate and correctly identify equipment in the field.
- Read and capture nameplate data (manufacturer, model, serial number, ratings, etc.) from equipment.
- Assign and apply asset tags to each verified piece of equipment.
- Enter and maintain equipment information in Excel-based asset data sheets (asset number + nameplate data).
- Potentially use barcode scanners or tablets in the field for tagging and data capture, as project tools are rolled out.
- Support basic problem solving when equipment in the field does not match drawings or existing lists (e.g., mismatched IDs, missing tags), by documenting and escalating discrepancies to the onsite engineering team.
This work is critical in building a complete and accurate asset list that will feed into future maintenance, reliability, and compliance systems for a major pharmaceutical facility.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Have Qualifications
- 1–2+ years of industry experience working around HVAC and/or facilities equipment in industrial, commercial, institutional, or large building environments.
- Examples: manufacturing plants, large commercial buildings, hospitals, universities, data centers, etc.
- Ability to read and use P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams):
- You can use P&IDs and equipment lists to locate and verify equipment in the field.
- Comfortable with field-intensive work and detailed documentation:
- Physically able to walk the site, stand for extended periods, and climb stairs/ladders.
- Comfortable working in plant/utility/roof areas with appropriate PPE.
- Strong attention to detail in capturing and entering technical data into Excel (sorting/filtering, careful data entry).
Nice-to-Have Experience
- Prior experience with asset tagging, equipment walkdowns, or receipt verification.
- Background in mechanical, electrical, facilities, or HVAC engineering/technology.
- Exposure to pharmaceutical, biotech, food & beverage, or other regulated/industrial environments.
- Experience using barcode/RFID scanners or tablets for field data collection.
Safety & Compliance
- PPE (e.g., hard hat, safety glasses, etc.) is required and will be provided.
- OSHA 10 certification is required:
- Candidates who already hold OSHA 10 are preferred.
- Candidates without OSHA 10 must be willing to complete the training (timing to be coordinated as part of onboarding).
- Standard background check and drug screen are required prior to start.
Work Details
- Location: Large pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Lebanon, IN.
- Schedule: Monday–Friday, normal business hours.
- Work Arrangement: 100% onsite, field-based role.
- Duration: Minimum 12 months, tied to completion of tagging ~30,000+ assets; likely to extend depending on project pace and additional work.
- Team Environment:
- You will work primarily with the onsite engineering/services team supporting our client.
- Day-to-day direction and coordination will be provided by that onsite team.
Why This Role?
- Contribute to a high-visibility, greenfield pharmaceutical project with a major industry player.
- Gain strong experience in HVAC/facilities systems and asset management within a regulated environment.
- Ideal for early-career HVAC/maintenance techs or junior engineers who enjoy being in the field and want to build toward CQV/engineering roles.
- Clear, defined scope with a 12+ month runway and potential for future opportunities through Technical Source.
How to Apply
If you have 1–2+ years working around HVAC/facilities equipment, can read P&IDs, and are comfortable in an industrial field environment with detailed data entry, we’d like to speak with you.
Please submit your resume highlighting:
- Your experience with HVAC/facility equipment.
- Examples of using P&IDs or other drawings.
- Any experience with equipment walkdowns, tagging, or documentation.
- Your current OSHA 10 status (completed or willing to complete).
