About Gentech Field Services

Gentech Field Services is a growing power generation company specializing in the sales, service, maintenance, repair, inspection, commissioning, and rental of diesel generators and fire pump systems.

We support commercial and industrial clients where reliable power is critical to their operations.

The Prospect

We are seeking an experienced Journeyman Electrician with substantial hands-on generator experience in service, troubleshooting, diagnostics, and commissioning.

This is not a traditional construction electrician or entry-level power generation role. You must be capable of independently diagnosing electrical, control, and operational issues.

Technical ability matters, but so does attitude. We are looking for a team player who is coachable, receptive to feedback, takes pride in their work, and is willing to both share their knowledge and learn from others.

- Perform generator startup, testing, commissioning, and load bank testing
- Perform preventative maintenance and inspections
- Inspect, troubleshoot, maintain, and commission ATS systems
- Complete generator, ATS, rental generator, temporary power, and site electrical installations
- Read and interpret electrical schematics and control diagrams
- Work alongside Heavy Duty Technicians on electrical and mechanical troubleshooting and repairs
- Respond to emergency service calls and participate in the on-call rotation




- Communicate professionally with clients and complete accurate service reports
- Support apprentices and contribute to team development

Required Qualifications

- Journeyman Electrician certification; Red Seal preferred
- Demonstrated experience servicing, troubleshooting, and commissioning generators

- Industrial electrical service
- Generator controller diagnostics

The Person We're Looking For Beyond technical ability, you:

- Are a team player with a positive, professional attitude
- Are coachable and receptive to feedback and direction
- Are confident in your abilities without bringing an ego
- Take ownership of your work and follow problems through to resolution
- Are equally willing to learn from the experience of others
- Communicate respectfully with clients, apprentices, and teammates
- Are reliable, accountable, and safety-focused

Compensation & Benefits

Why Gentech? We work on critical and life-safety power systems where our clients depend on the work being done properly.

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving difficult problems, takes pride in being good at their trade, and wants to work with a team that values quality, accountability, continuous improvement, and a great attitude.

If you're an experienced generator electrician who can troubleshoot problems in the field while being someone others enjoy working with, we'd like to hear from you.
