About Gentech Field Services

· Diagnose electrical, control, starting, charging, and operational faults
· Perform generator startup, testing, commissioning, and load bank testing
· Perform preventative maintenance and inspections
· Inspect, troubleshoot, maintain, and commission ATS systems
· Complete generator, ATS, rental generator, temporary power, and site electrical installations
· Read and interpret electrical schematics and control diagrams
· Work alongside Heavy Duty Technicians on electrical and mechanical troubleshooting and repairs
· Respond to emergency service calls and participate in the on-call rotation
· Communicate professionally with clients and complete accurate service reports
· Support apprentices and contribute to team development

The Person We're Looking For
Beyond technical ability, you:
- Are a team player with a positive, professional attitude
- Are coachable and receptive to feedback and direction
- Are confident in your abilities without bringing an ego
- Take ownership of your work and follow problems through to resolution
- Are equally willing to learn from the experience of others
- Communicate respectfully with clients, apprentices, and teammates
- Are reliable, accountable, and safety-focused
Compensation & Benefits
