Journeyman Technician

Our client is seeking an experienced Journeyman Technician in Seattle, WA to support marine engine and generator customers across a wide range of marine and industrial environments. This role requires strong electrical and mechanical troubleshooting skills, hands-on experience with marine power systems, and the flexibility to travel extensively. The ideal candidate is a self-driven, detail oriented field technician who can independently diagnose, repair, and commission marine engines and generator systems in demanding customer environments.
What's in it for you:

• Salary up to $125K. If your target pay is higher, we still encourage you to apply-we could request adjustments based on experience and market conditions.
• Comprehensive benefits and PTO package.
• This role offers a unique work structure averaging approximately 1,000 hours per year, making it ideal for experienced technicians seeking strong compensation with increased flexibility and personal time. If you're looking to step away from year-round field demands while continuing to work on advanced marine power systems, this is an exceptional opportunity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform diagnostics, maintenance, and repair on marine engines and generator systems
• Troubleshoot and repair electrical systems including control panels, sensors, wiring harnesses, and switchgear

• Conduct start-ups, commissioning, and load testing of generators
• Interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical manuals
• Perform root cause analysis on mechanical and electrical failures
• Travel extensively to customer vessels, shipyards, and marine facilities
• Provide detailed service documentation and field reports
• Maintain strong customer communication and represent the company professionally onsite

Qualifications:

• Journeyman-level technical experience in marine, industrial, or power generation environments
• Experience working on marine diesel engines and auxiliary power systems
• Strong electrical troubleshooting background (AC/DC systems, controls, PLC basics preferred)
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and blueprints
• Field service experience with high travel requirements
• Valid driver's license and passport (or ability to obtain)
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently

Preferred Experience:
