POSITION SUMMARY
The Power Generation Mechanic is responsible for performing the maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of generators, light towers, and power distribution systems. This role’s location is flexible – it can be based at an EnerStar facility but will involve frequent travel to customer sites and remote job locations as needed. By executing preventive maintenance programs and responding to unscheduled outages, the Mechanic helps ensure fleet readiness, efficient operations, and reliable service delivery to customers, minimizing downtime and maximizing equipment utilization. This position also supports Power Gen’s strategic goal of reducing third-party rentals and optimizing owned assets by keeping equipment in optimal working condition.

Core Duties & Responsibilities:

• • Safety & Values: Prioritize safety in all tasks, strictly follow company, OSHA, and client-site safety requirements, and champion EnerStar’s core values in all professional activities.
  • Equipment Maintenance: Perform preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, and major overhauls on generator sets (gensets), diesel engines, alternators, switchgear, and power distribution systems to ensure optimal performance.
  • Troubleshooting: Conduct diagnostics on diesel engines, electrical systems (e.g., 12/24 VDC control circuits and 480V/600V AC power), hydraulic systems, and control systems to identify and resolve equipment issues effectively.
  • Fleet Optimization Support: Assist in the company’s fleet optimization strategy by prioritizing rebuilds or repairs for high-demand assets and helping to retire obsolete equipment as directed.
  • Inventory & Parts: Work with procurement and logistics to ensure the availability of required parts, tools, and consumables, enabling efficient and timely repairs.
  • Operational Records: Maintain accurate service documentation – including maintenance logs, repair records, downtime reports, and compliance forms – to support operational transparency and regulatory compliance.
  • Collaboration: Coordinate with logistics, sales, and operations teams to meet and exceed customer service commitments, communicating equipment status and requirements clearly across teams.
  • Customer Support: Provide on-site support for field deployments and emergency responses, delivering reliable temporary power solutions and promptly restoring equipment to service for customers.
  • Other Duties: Perform other related tasks as required or assigned to support overall Power Gen operations and objectives.

Travel: The individual in this role must be willing and able to travel regularly as required by EnerStar Solutions. Travel to customer sites, other Power Gen hubs, and emergency response locations is expected as needed to fulfill job duties.
