Job description

Critical Facility Technician (Electrical or Mechanical)

Single Interview Hiring Process

Why this role is a great transition

If you have worked around industrial electrical systems, rotating equipment, power distribution, turbines, compressors, pumps, or control systems, this role is a natural next step. Many of our strongest technicians come from oil and gas, manufacturing plants, power generation, wind farms, and heavy industrial sites.

You will apply the same safety mindset, troubleshooting skills, and hands-on experience you already have, in a clean, stable, high-tech critical environment with long-term growth.

What You Will Do

As a Critical Facility Technician, you will support the energization and operation of mission-critical electrical and mechanical systems. Think of this role as industrial plant work inside a data-driven environment.

• Performing electrical terminations, testing, and system energization under established procedures
• Applying Lockout Tagout procedures to safely work on energized and de-energized equipment
• Using meters and diagnostic tools to verify voltage, current, resistance, and continuity
• Reading electrical one-lines, schematics, and mechanical drawings to support installs and troubleshooting
• Monitoring and maintaining mechanical systems such as pumps, valves, pressure systems, and cooling equipment
• Supporting inspections, audits, and pre-energization checks to ensure systems are ready for operation
• Working closely with a team to hit project milestones while maintaining strict safety standards

This is hands-on, technical work in a controlled environment with clear processes and strong safety culture.

What We Are Looking For

We are open to electrical or mechanical technicians from industrial backgrounds.

Required Experience

• Hands-on experience with Lockout Tagout and industrial electrical safety practices
• Ability to confidently use a voltmeter to read AC and DC voltage, current, and resistance
• Experience reading electrical schematics, one-lines, and mechanical drawings
• Mechanical knowledge of pumps, valves, pressure systems, and cooling or fluid systems
• Electrical experience from industrial environments such as manufacturing plants, power plants, oil and gas facilities, or similar
• Background in electrical terminations, lug connections, and basic electrical testing
• Trade school, apprenticeship, or equivalent hands-on field experience
• Strong work ethic, safety mindset, and willingness to learn new systems

Nice to Have

• Experience in large commercial or industrial facilities
• Background in wind, solar, or power generation
• Experience working with chillers, cooling units, or thermal systems

What You Get

• Long-term opportunity with contract-to-hire conversion
• Relocation assistance available
• Straightforward interview process
• Stable work environment with clear procedures
• Exposure to critical infrastructure and high-demand systems
• Seniority Level
• Associate
