• Maintain accurate records of maintenance activities, parts usage, equipment condition, and performance trends.
• Ensure compliance with company safety policies, environmental regulations, and industry standards at all times.
• Communicate effectively with supervisors, operations personnel, and other team members regarding equipment status, repair needs, and maintenance planning.
• Operate, maintain, and properly use tools, vehicles, and diagnostic equipment in good working condition.
• Provide guidance and on‑the‑job support to PM Technician I personnel as needed.

• Strong mechanical troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills.
• Advanced knowledge of safety protocols and environmental compliance requirements.
• Strong organizational and time‑management abilities with the ability to work independently.

• Strong understanding of natural gas compression systems, production facility maintenance, and gas lift operations.
• Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, schematics, and preventative maintenance schedules.
• Proficient in the use of hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic instruments.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to remote locations as required.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL DEMANDS

• Ability to work in physically demanding field environments, including standing, walking, climbing, bending, and lifting equipment and tools.
• Ability to lift, carry, and handle tools and components weighing up to approximately 50 pounds.
• Ability to work for extended periods in outdoor conditions, including heat, cold, and inclement weather.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, and system problems requiring analytical thinking and sound judgment.
