Generator Mechanic / Field Service Technician

Weld Power Generator specializes in servicing mission-critical emergency power systems for facilities in the northeastern United States. It also specializes in disaster response to major weather-related events. Founded in 1951, Weld Power Generator is currently the largest, independently owned generator service company in the Northeast. We have seen significant growth in the market share and has been recognized five years in a row by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing, privately held companies in the U.S.

The emergency standby power generation field is a unique industry whose existence is not realized by most. The industry is largely regulatory driven, in that most facilities are required to maintain an emergency power backup system in the event of electrical power loss in order to enable the safe egress, and/or evacuation of the facilities of its occupants.

Additionally, most commercial/industrial purposed facilities maintain an emergency standby power generation system to maintain the integrity of vital building air/climate, and fire control systems.
