Job description

Generator Field Service Technician — Where Precision and Reliability Are Valued

If you're a technician who takes satisfaction in doing the job right the first time, Prime Power Services was built for people like you.

We're looking for a Generator Field Service Technician who brings a methodical, detail-oriented approach to diesel and natural gas power generation equipment. This is a role where accuracy matters, procedures exist for good reason, and your technical expertise is genuinely respected.

Why Technicians Stay at Prime Power

A Stable, Structured Work Environment

You'll operate within clearly defined processes, established safety standards, and consistent expectations. There's no guesswork about what's required — you'll know exactly what's expected, and you'll have the tools and documentation to do it right.

Technical Depth, Not Just Task Volume

This isn't a role that rushes you from one job to the next. You'll have the time and resources to diagnose problems thoroughly, complete work properly, and close out jobs with confidence. We value doing it correctly over doing it quickly.

Training That Builds Real Expertise

Our training campus in Mableton, Georgia offers hands-on, technical instruction — not generic corporate training. Earn meaningful credentials including OSHA 10, OSHA 30, and EGSA Apprentice or Journeyman certifications, backed by 40+ hours of paid annual training. Your growth plan is yours — developed with your goals in mind.

Supportive Leadership That Earns Your Trust

You'll report to supervisors who provide clear direction, set defined objectives, and give you the independence to do your work once you're established. We don't micromanage skilled technicians — we trust people who've demonstrated they know what they're doing.

Recognition That Means Something

Quality work doesn't go unnoticed here. We recognize individual contributions directly and personally. Your consistency, accuracy, and reliability will be seen by the people who matter.

Competitive, Stable Compensation

• Competitive base pay plus technician commission opportunities
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Flexible spending accounts
• 401(k) with generous employer matching

What Your Day-to-Day Looks Like

• Perform scheduled preventative maintenance, inspections, and repairs on diesel and natural gas generators
• Diagnose and troubleshoot Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), generator controls, excitation systems, and related equipment
• Read and interpret schematics, blueprints, and technical manuals with care and accuracy
• Complete service documentation thoroughly and on time
