  • Accurately document all work performed, parts used, and recommendations using our service software platform.
  • Communicate clearly with customers about findings, repairs, maintenance needs, and system operation.
  • Participate in an on‑call rotation for emergency and after‑hours service when required.
  • Maintain company vehicle, tools, and parts inventory in clean, organized, and safe condition.
  • Follow all safety rules, manufacturer specifications, and local code requirements on every job.


Qualifications

  • Prior experience as a generator technician, small engine mechanic, or electrical / HVAC service technician preferred, especially with Generac or other standby systems.
  • Basic to intermediate understanding of AC electrical, controls, and engine systems (gas or diesel).
  • Ability to safely work on energized equipment within code and company safety policies.
  • Comfortable using diagnostic tools, multimeters, laptops, and mobile apps for troubleshooting and reporting.
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
