Generator Mechanic

Overview We are looking for experienced Generator Mechanics to support mission-critical operations in demanding environments. These individuals will be responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing power generation systems to ensure uninterrupted electrical support for deployed teams and fixed-site locations. Ideal candidates bring a strong technical background, proven experience with diesel generators, and the ability to operate independently in austere or rapidly changing conditions.

Travel may be required up to 75% of the time.

Key Responsibilities · Perform maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs on generators ranging from small tactical units to large commercial systems. · Conduct routine inspections, load testing, and preventative maintenance to ensure continuous power availability. · Troubleshoot electrical and mechanical faults, replace components, and complete system rebuilds as needed. · Monitor generator performance, fuel consumption, and power output to identify issues before they impact operations. · Coordinate with site leadership and logistics teams to ensure parts, tools, and consumables are available and serviceable. · Maintain detailed maintenance logs, service records, and fault reports in accordance with company and client standards. · Support power distribution equipment, including transfer switches, load banks, grounding systems, and cabling. · Follow all safety protocols related to high-voltage systems, confined spaces, fueling, and environmental requirements. · Provide on-call or after-hours support when mission requirements dictate. · Operate in austere environments with limited oversight while maintaining high technical and professional standards.

Required Qualifications · Prior U.S. military service with experience in a mechanical, electrical, or power generation MOS/AFSC (e.g., 91D, 12N, 1141, 3E0X2, or equivalent). · Strong working knowledge of diesel engines, electrical systems, voltage regulation, and power distribution. · Ability to diagnose and repair faults with minimal external support. · Experience working in remote, expeditionary, or OCONUS environments. · Ability to lift, carry, and move equipment and tools as required for maintenance tasks. · Strong communication skills and ability to work within a multi-functional team. · Must be able to pass background checks, medical screenings, and deployment requirements.

Preferred Qualifications · Advanced military training or certifications in power generation equipment. · Experience with tactical generators (MEP series) and commercial generator platforms (Cummins, Caterpillar, FG Wilson, etc.). · Prior Worldwide Protective Services (WPS), or contractor experience supporting deployed operations.
