How stationary engineers and boiler operators are reshaped as AGI capability advances.

Only about 25% of Stationary Engineers and Boiler Operators is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: Although the toolset leans heavily toward software (18 tools in segment 43), the role's core value-producing work is distinctly hands-on, evidenced by top Work Activities like 'Inspecting Equipment, Structures, or Materials' and 'Repairing and Maintaining Mechanical Equipment'. The Work Context further grounds this occupation in the physical world, citing strong exposure to distracting sounds, contaminants, and hazardous conditions. Thus, the work is predominantly physical with software acting largely as an orchestration and monitoring layer.

Which of this work becomes digital labor — performed under typed authority, promoted to autonomy on track record.
Stationary Engineers and Boiler Operators performs 25 tasks on the graph — the atomic work units that become the job description for a digital employee, promoted to autonomy on track record.
+13 more via performs
Stationary Engineers and Boiler Operators is typically employed by 45 company types — the demand side that decides which of this role's tasks get handed to agents, and on what authority.
+33 more via typicallyEmploys
Stationary Engineers and Boiler Operators is employed across 109 settings — the places where this role's work is done, and where digital employees first sit beside the humans.

The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Stationary Engineers and Boiler Operators uses 73 tools today. As each gains an agent-consumable surface (API / MCP / SDK), the human UI stops being the only way in — and the work routes straight to an agent.
+61 more via usesTool
Stationary Engineers and Boiler Operators relies on 22 products. The headless dimension of each — whether an agent can call it without a screen — is what decides how much of this work goes hands-free.
+10 more via uses
The software Stationary Engineers and Boiler Operators reaches for already exposes 12 agent-callable actions (via uses → exposedBy) — typed surfaces an agent invokes directly, no human screen in the loop. The work routes to the API, not the UI.
