Staff Profile
Steve WebberMaintenance Mechanic, Stationary Engineering Team Lead
As a Stationary Engineer, I am licensed to operate KDH’s three steam boilers and all ancillary equipment such as air handling units, air conditioning units, pneumatic and digital controls. As a team, we perform preventative maintenance on all of our HVAC and plumbing equipment. We monitor and fulfil work service requests throughout the hospital. We also do our best to fix what gets broken. I liaise with our contract service providers to ensure they have what they need to perform work that we cannot do.
Prior to working at KDH, I was retired (for one year) from the City of Nepean and Ottawa after 36 years of service. My wife had her knee surgery at KDH and we were both so impressed with the staff and care she received. As a result, when I saw a posting on the hospital website for a maintenance position, I applied. I was eventually encouraged to apply for the Team Lead position when my predecessor announced his retirement. So, in effect, KDH chose me and gave me, a retiree, a chance at a second career I never knew I wanted but greatly appreciate.
Being able to still contribute to the hospital and community I live in gives me great satisfaction.
"After three months of convalescent care at KDH, my wife and I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for all the care staff who attended to me during my stay. From the moment I arrived at the unit, I was struck by the welcoming and compassionate atmosphere. I would like to extend a special thank you to every member of the care staff for your helpfulness and kindness. You all played an important role in aiding my recovery, not just physically but also emotionally. What sets this convalescent unit apart is the genuine care and concern shown towards residents. I never once felt like just a bed number but rather an individual who was valued and respected. The encouragement given to residents to improve their health and engage in social activities also greatly enriched my experience. I made new friends and created lasting memories. I cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support. I will always remember my time there with fondness, thanks to the wonderful care staff who made it a home away from home. Thank you for everything."
