The year 1969 is deemed as the Space Age as the United States sends the first man to ever walk on the moon. However, for Thermal Energy Corporation (TECO), this year will always be remembered for a different milestone: TECO's first ever successful operation.
Originally started and owned by Houston Natural Gas, until it was acquired by the Thermal Energy Cooperative in 1978, TECO was purposely built to serve the district cooling and heating for the buildings on Texas Medical Center (TMC) campus – the world’s largest medical city.
TECO uses district energy and combined heat and power technologies to produce and pipe chilled water and steam to 24.3 million square feet of space in 51 buildings at the prestigious TMC institutions.
Now, 53 years since its first operation, TECO remains the reliable sole provider of cost-effective and energy-efficient cooling and heating systems for the TMC campus.
Although a leader in thermal energy systems, TECO's many successes do not rely on the company's technology alone. The biggest energy source of the business is its PEOPLE. TECO is blazing towards the future because of the combined wit, talent and dedication of the members of the organization – from the board of directors, board committee members up to the dedicated contractors and consultants.
At TECO, employees can work in a family-like atmosphere while pursuing professional fulfillment and exploring learning opportunities.
TECO's energy professionals – highly skilled technicians and experienced engineers – run and maintain the system's two district energy plants on the Texas Medical Center campus in Houston, Texas.
They are looking for a candidate that is equipped with the knowledge and skills to maintain and inspect boilers, chillers, air handlers, cooling towers, reciprocating engines, building and auxiliary equipment (such as pumps, motors, gearboxes, steam turbines and compressors).
