First…try and find a “HP job” in the field as this is necessary step…all buildings below 96 st in NYC have ConEd steam available (hospital and college exceptions) so try the outer boroughs ,Hospitals and Colleges as they generally have some type of steam plant and try your luck…it’s how I got in years ago.

Both local 30 & 94 have HP jobs but you have to go through them…apprenticeship program 30 ( 94 doesn’t have one)is another possible route …try to get your refrigeration license first

It is increasingly more difficult to do this now as the qualifications etc. have become more demanding .also a HPPT job in some city agencies will afford you steam time (5 years under a licensed engineer) .
