#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | GENERATOR FIELD SERVICE TECHNICIAN | Kansas City Metro

An established, privately held building-systems and power-services company serving commercial, healthcare, education, government, and mission-critical (data center) clients across the Midwest is adding field technicians to its standby-power service team. This is hands-on field service on commercial standby and emergency generators: diagnostics, preventative maintenance, load-bank testing, and repair across all major makes, models, and sizes (up to 3 MW). Techs run their own routes from home to client sites, typically 1-2 calls a day, with a company service truck and tools provided. The team is being rebuilt from the ground up, and early hires will have real input into how the group is run. For a strong technician, this is stable, guaranteed-40 work with a family-first, promote-from-within employer that keeps you home at night.

• Anticipated $80K-$110K, based on experience
• Benefits include: Health, Dental, Vision, 401K w/ match, PTO, holidays
• Guaranteed 40 hours per week; overtime available, not mandated

• Respond to break-fix and emergency calls and keep critical facilities online
• Work independently on-site (one-tech jobs are the norm; larger jobs are staffed with two)

• High school diploma or equivalent; technical/trade school or diesel/electrical coursework a plus
