Field Service Technician

Relocation Assistance or $3,000 Sign-On Bonus Available – Tipton, Missouri

We are currently looking for experienced Field Service Technicians to join a growing leader in onsite power generation and distributed energy systems.

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced technicians looking to build a long-term career with an established company that values hands-on people and invests heavily in training and career development.

While generator experience is highly valued, we are also interested in speaking with experienced technicians from heavy-duty diesel, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, industrial maintenance, mining, trucking, or other mechanical and electrical trades who are looking to transition into the power generation industry.

Qualified candidates are eligible for either a $3,000 sign-on bonus or relocation assistance to Tipton, Missouri.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical issues on diesel and natural gas generators
• Perform preventative maintenance, inspections, tune-ups, repairs, and commissioning work
• Troubleshoot AC/DC electrical systems, engine controls, transfer switches, switchgear, battery chargers, block heaters, and related equipment
• Read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
• Complete service reports and documentation accurately
• Operate service trucks and field equipment safely and professionally
• Participate in an after-hours emergency service rotation as required
• Represent the company professionally while working at customer sites

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years of experience in power generation, heavy-duty diesel, industrial maintenance, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, engine repair, mining equipment, trucking, or a related mechanical/electrical trade
• Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills
• Experience working on diesel engines, industrial equipment, heavy equipment, or generators
• Knowledge of AC electrical systems up to 600 VAC and DC fundamentals is considered an asset
• Ability to work independently and solve problems in the field
• Comfortable using diagnostic software, computers, and digital service reporting systems
• Strong communication and customer service skills
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, email, and other basic computer applications
• Valid driver's license required
• CDL is considered an asset or willingness to obtain one

Generator experience is highly valued; however, we recognize that many outstanding technicians come from related industries. If you have strong mechanical aptitude, electrical troubleshooting experience, and the desire to learn, comprehensive training and ongoing development will be provided.

Why Join?

• $3,000 sign-on bonus or relocation assistance available
• Competitive hourly wage of $40-45/hour, depending on experience
• Overtime opportunities
• Long-term career stability with a growing organization
• Extensive training and development opportunities
• Clear opportunities for advancement
• Work with industry-leading power generation equipment
• Join a company that continues to expand throughout the distributed energy sector while investing in its people
