Job description

Job Summary

We are seeking a hands‑on, mechanically inclined RNG Operations & Fabrication Technician to support daily shop, warehouse, and field operations. This is a working, non‑supervisory role centered on building things and moving things: fabrication and assembly, carpentry and light construction, operating equipment such as forklifts and skid steers, and hauling materials, parts, and equipment to sites and projects with a pickup and trailer. The ideal candidate is a self‑starter who takes ownership of a task without being managed through it, works safely, and is comfortable shifting priorities on short notice. This position supports multiple teams — Operations, Field Service, Construction, and Procurement — so no two days look the same. Someone who says, “I’ll figure it out” and then does will thrive here.

Primary Responsibilities

Fabrication, Assembly & Carpentry Fabricate, assemble, modify, and repair shipping containers, trailers, frames, enclosures, other components from drawings, sketches, photos, or verbal direction. Perform carpentry and light construction work including framing, door installation, and project related build‑outs. Assemble equipment, piping supports, and hardware kits, mount and secure components for shipment or installation. Use hand and power tools, saws, grinders, drills, and measuring/layout tools accurately and safely. Perform basic cutting, drilling, and metal work; welding experience is a plus. Equipment Operation & Material Handling Safely operate forklifts, pallet jacks, skid steers, telehandlers, and other material handling equipment. Load, unload, stage, and secure materials, equipment, and parts in the yard, warehouse, and at job sites. Perform daily pre‑use inspections on equipment and report damage, deficiencies, or maintenance needs. Assist with basic upkeep of shop equipment, tools, vehicles, and trailers. Transportation & Site Support Operate company pickup trucks, including towing enclosed and open trailers, to deliver parts, tools, materials, and equipment to sites and projects. Hook up, load, secure, and inspect trailers and loads; ensure proper weight distribution, tie‑down, and documentation. Make time‑sensitive parts runs to vendors, suppliers, sites, and active projects as needed. Warehouse & Inventory Support Support daily warehouse activity including receiving, stocking, picking, packing, and shipping. Pull and stage materials and parts against project or work order lists. Maintain a clean, organized, and safe shop, warehouse, and yard. Project & General Support Flexibility is a core function of this role, not an exception to it. Responsibilities regularly extend beyond the tasks listed above, including but not limited to: Walking upcoming projects and building material take‑offs and lists of parts, hardware, and consumables needed. Sourcing or picking up materials locally and providing pricing or availability information back to the team. Assisting field and service technicians with installation, demolition, clean‑up, and site prep work. Documenting work with photos, measurements, and notes for other teams. Performing other duties as assigned to keep sites, projects, and the shop moving.

Required Skills

• Demonstrated hands‑on mechanical aptitude and comfort with tools, materials, and building things from scratch.
• Ability to read and work from basic drawings, sketches, cut lists, and written or verbal instructions.
• Accurate measurement, layout, and math skills (fractions, dimensions, take‑offs).
• Safe operation of powered industrial trucks and compact construction equipment.
• Confident towing and maneuvering a trailer behind a pickup truck, including backing and load securement.
• Strong problem‑solving instincts and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Dependability, ownership, and a willingness to take on unfamiliar tasks and see them through.
• Clear communication with coworkers, vendors, and site personnel; basic computer and mobile device skills for inventory, email, and documentation.
• Ability to shift priorities quickly in a fast‑paced environment without losing track of open work.

Minimum Education and Experience

High school diploma or GED, or equivalent practical experience. 2+ years of hands‑on experience in fabrication, carpentry, construction, assembly, maintenance, warehouse, or a related trade. Valid driver’s license and clean driving record; ability to operate company vehicles. Experience driving a pickup truck with a trailer is strongly desired. Forklift and/or skid steer experience required; certification is a plus, or willingness to obtain. Welding, plumbing, electrical, or equipment maintenance experience is a plus.

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs. regularly, and up to 75 lbs. occasionally with assistance. Ability to stand, walk, bend, kneel, climb, and work with hands overhead for extended periods. Work is performed in a shop, warehouse, yard, and outdoor job site settings, with exposure to varying weather, noise, dust, and uneven terrain. Consistent use of required personal protective equipment. Local travel between sites and vendors; occasional early starts, extended hours, or after‑hours support based on project needs.

Work Authorization

Applicants must be authorized to work in the US on a full‑time basis. Unfortunately, a current or future need for sponsorship is not supported or available for this position.

Salary Range

Salary Range: $55,500.00 - $88,800.00 *This range reflects base pay only. Incentive earnings, like commissions or bonuses, are not included. This role is also eligible for an annual incentive plan based on company performance.
