Generator Shop Technician

Generator Shop Technician Opportunity Summary:

Are you a generator tech who would rather build and repair on the bench than chase service calls? As a Generator Shop Technician at W.W. Williams, you'll diagnose, repair, and rebuild standby power generators and related power-generation equipment right here in our shop - alongside an experienced team focused on getting equipment running right and back to the customer fast.

If you take pride in clean diagnostics, quality work, and keeping critical power systems online, we want to talk to you. This opportunity is immediate - apply today!

Job Duties:

• Diagnose, repair, rebuild, and maintain standby power generators, fire-pump drivers, and related power-generation equipment in the shop.
• Troubleshoot generator controls (AC and DC), automatic transfer switches (ATS), breakers, voltage regulators, and alternators using electronic diagnostic tools.
• Inspect and service supporting systems - fuel, cooling, lubrication, and electrical.
• Perform load-bank testing and accurately record instrumentation readings.
• Disassemble, clean, inspect, and determine the reusability of components per OEM guidelines.
• Build a clear repair plan - operations needed and estimated hours - and document parts and labor accurately on work orders.
• Stay current on product changes, specifications, and OEM service bulletins.
• Keep a safe, clean, organized work area and follow all company, safety, and EPA standards.

Work Experience & Qualifications:

• 2+ years servicing or repairing generators (8.5kW-3500kW), or equivalent training and experience.
• Working knowledge of electrical systems, circuitry, and diesel engines.
• Comfort using electronic diagnostic tools and basic computer skills (Microsoft Office).
• EGSA certification is a plus - and if you don't have it yet, we'll help you earn it.
• Your own hand tools (we back you with a Tool Replacement Insurance program).
• Transitioning military, trade-school graduates, and apprentice-level techs ready to grow are encouraged to apply.

Why a Shop Role Works for you:

This is a bench-based shop position - not field service. That means:

• Home every night. No overnight travel and no living out of a service truck.
• A consistent schedule. Predictable shop hours so you can plan your life outside of work.
• No driving for work. No CDL, DOT card, or clean MVR required - your work comes to the shop.
• A real career path. Clear progression from Apprentice to Journeyman to Diagnostic Technician, with company-paid training to get you there.
