Facilities Maintenance (Handyman) - Full Time

The open ocean is Earth’s largest and most power-dense renewable energy resource. Panthalassa is harnessing that resource to generate the cheapest energy on the planet. Our mission is to provide abundant and affordable clean energy for everyone.

We are rapidly scaling our capacity to test megawatts of compute and hydroelectric turbines while bringing online state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment across multiple sites. In this environment, identifying creative, practical solutions that enable the delivery of sufficient power—quickly and reliably—will be a key contributor to the company’s success.

Founded in 2016 and based in the Pacific Northwest, our team comes from diverse backgrounds in aerospace, naval architecture, marine operations, hardware, software, and research.

We are building a core technology designed to operate in the harshest, most unpredictable environments on Earth, the world’s oceans. Delivering on this mission requires not only elite engineering talent but a work environment that runs smoothly, scales intelligently, and frees our team to focus on solving impossibly hard problems.

We are looking for a reliable and skilled Facilities Maintenance Technician to support the day-to-day upkeep of an active facility. This is a steady-state role focused on keeping the site safe, functional, and well-maintained — handling routine maintenance, minor repairs, and the essential day-to-day work that keeps facility operations reliable and uninterrupted. This role supports a mixed office and light industrial environment with active daily operations, shared workspaces, and evolving operational needs. The work is highly hands-on and operational, requiring both technical maintenance capability and responsiveness to employee and facility needs.

You close out tickets thoroughly with clear notes, communicate proactively when something is outside your scope, and take pride in a facility that functions the way it's supposed to. Some days may focus on preventive maintenance and repairs, while others may involve workspace resets, operational support, or rapid-response facility issues during high-intensity work periods.
