Machine Operator

$22 - $25 per hour

RecruitMilitary Placement Services

Location: Southeast Grand Rapids, MI

Facilities: Fallasburg, Lowell & Cascade

Schedule: Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM-3:00 PM

Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We are looking for a mechanically inclined individual to operate and maintain equipment across three hydroelectric facilities in the Grand Rapids area.

The facilities generate clean, renewable hydroelectric power, and the Operator will help ensure the equipment and plants operate safely and reliably.

No specific industry experience is required. Everything from operating the equipment to facility procedures and light maintenance will be taught on the job. We're primarily looking for someone who is mechanically minded, hands-on, dependable, and willing to learn.

What You'll Do

Operate and monitor hydroelectric equipment and machinery

Perform routine inspections and light mechanical maintenance

Troubleshoot equipment and identify potential issues

Perform basic preventative maintenance

Use hand tools and mechanical equipment

Maintain accurate operating and maintenance records

Travel between the Fallasburg, Lowell, and Cascade facilities

Why This Is a Great Veteran Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for a veteran looking to establish themselves in corporate America and build a new technical career. The hiring manager is also a veteran and understands the value veterans bring to the workplace.

Your military experience doesn't need to directly translate to hydroelectric power. Experience with vehicles, engines, equipment, maintenance, mechanics, troubleshooting, or simply being a hands-on problem solver can translate well.

You'll receive hands-on training, learn a specialized industry, and have the opportunity to grow your technical skills and career over time.

Ideal Candidate

Mechanically inclined and enjoys working with machines

Dependable and safety-conscious

Comfortable learning new equipment and processes

Able to work independently after training

Valid driver's license

A great fit for someone who wants a stable Monday-Friday schedule while getting their foot in the door of the renewable energy industry. Job 59305

Salary: $22-25/hr - Monday to Friday - 7am to 3pm - PTO - 401K w/ match - Full Benefits - Overtime each week
