Job description

Power Generator Technician / Diesel Mechanic

Ready to help change the world? We have opportunities for mechanics with experience with generators, diesel engines, and heavy equipment.

The Company:

EarthGrid™ is on a mission to rebuild America’s crumbling electrical infrastructure by developing the world’s first way to tunnel, trench, and excavate using our patented plasma tunnel-boring technology. Compared to traditional tunneling, trenching, and excavation methods, this technology has the potential to work exponentially faster and save dramatically in costs.

The Position:

EarthGrid is in growth mode, and we’re looking for a wide range of talented people. We are a startup, meaning you’d wear plenty of hats, be heard, enjoy competitive compensation and benefits — and earn “I knew them when” bragging rights.

Our startup is fast paced, which requires an open attitude. Things can change quickly as we solve challenges, make new discoveries, get new investment capital, add team members — you get the idea. We all get along in a friendly, professional, no-drama zone, and we plan to keep it that way. If this sounds rewarding, please get in touch. EarthGrid — and the world — needs you!

Responsibilities:

• Inspect, service, and maintain 1MW to 2MW diesel generators, heavy equipment and crew vehicles in accordance with federal regulations, equipment specifications and company policy

• Determine what machinery, tools, and parts are necessary to make repairs
• Prepare inspection, maintenance, and work reports, and record details on prescribed forms in accordance with established procedures
• Use electric and oxy-acetylene welding equipment, lubrication equipment, and other vehicle repair tools and equipment, and operate said tools and machinery in a safe and efficient manner
• Travel required up to 75%

Qualification Requirements:

• Minimum 3 years experience maintaining/servicing excavators and/or generators
• Must be able to lift 75# unassisted
• Mid-level diagnostic ability
• Ability to remove & replace major components such as axles, engines, and transmissions
• Ability to perform preventative and corrective maintenance of standby generator systems 5 KW through 1500 KW
• Knowledge and ability to follow proper procedures for load bank testing
• Ability to troubleshoot and diagnose gas and diesel commercial engines
• Ability to read and understand wiring diagrams and schematics
• Works independently with minimal daily supervision
• Works in a safe manner at all times

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ability to troubleshoot, diagnose and execute emergency repair of AC/DC controls
• Jack of all trades
• Offshore experience - motor man, electrician
• Marine/ship mechanic experience
• Industrial HVAC Technician experience
• Military experience highly valued

The Location:

EarthGrid is headquartered in Richmond, California. We have an R&D facility located on Patterson Pass in Livermore, California and will be expanding our manufacturing capabilities in the East Bay area. The Bay Area is known for its mild weather, rich diversity of cultures, great universities, extensive transport systems and exciting activities. Relocation, however, is not required as much of the work will be elsewhere across the US.

• Health, dental and vision insurance
