- Complete accurate service reports documenting repairs, maintenance, and recommendations.
- Work independently and as part of a team in both shop and field environments.

- Valid driver's license.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple service assignments.
Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with commercial and industrial generators ranging from 20 kW to 3,000+ kW.
- Experience with automatic transfer switches (ATS).
- Manufacturer-specific training or certifications.
- Experience performing generator startups, commissioning, and major repairs.
- Experience working with medium- and high-voltage power generation equipment.
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation based on experience.
- Medical and dental insurance.
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
- Paid time off and paid holidays.
- Opportunity for professional growth within a rapidly expanding company.
- A team-oriented work environment with exposure to a wide range of industrial power generation equipment.

Candidates with only automotive, trucking, or general diesel mechanic experience and no direct generator experience will not be considered.
