Job Description & How to Apply Below

At JC Davis Power, we keep work moving with smart, reliable solutions that let our people and our partners stay safe, focused, and ahead. Powering a jobsite shouldn't be a hassle. But too often, crews are left waiting, equipment breaks down, vendors go dark, and deadlines slip.

We started JC Davis Power to fix all of that. We're a full-service jobsite operations partner, delivering and maintaining temporary power, climate control, and associated services — all with one reliable crew. No handoffs. No confusion. We show up, set up, and keep your site running, so you can stay focused on the work that matters.

Simple — Reliable — Done Right.

The opportunity

We provide reliable, 24/7 temporary power to commercial and industrial construction projects, built on a highly standardized fleet of mobile diesel generators and power distribution equipment. We have roughly doubled revenue every year and are scaling rapidly toward $1B.

Our fleet is our product — but it's our people who make it run. The technicians and shop leaders who repair and maintain that fleet are the real engine behind our reliability, and great ones are our hardest constraint to scale. At our current size, we're building a two‑person fleet leadership team, both reporting to the EVP of Operations — a VP, Fleet Strategy & Asset Management who owns the economics and strategy of the fleet, and a Director of Maintenance & Reliability who owns keeping the running fleet running.

This is that second role. You own the shops, the maintenance organization, and the people in them. Your job is to keep a growing, geographically spread fleet reliable, safe, and moving — and to build the team and the sites that can do it without you in the room.

The mandate

You own the day-to-day of keeping our fleet in service: shop operations across multiple locations, preventive and field maintenance, repair throughput and quality, reliability engineering, parts, and — above all — the technicians and shop leaders who do the work. You keep uptime high and rising even as the fleet grows and spreads across regions.

You don't own the fleet's capital strategy — that's the VP, Fleet Strategy & Asset Management. But you own the operational reality that strategy has to be built on. When the VP asks the hard economic questions — rebuild or replace, why is cost per operating hour moving, should we retire a product line — you own the ground truth and the data behind the answer.

You're peers under the EVP of Operations: you own execution, the VP owns economics, and the EVP balances the two. That separation is deliberate, and it's what keeps both of you honest.

What you'll own
  • Shop operations: build and run the shops that keep our fleet reliable, standardized, and deployable — efficient and effective, with lean tooling and facilities across multiple locations.

  • Preventive & field maintenance: PM programs across the fleet, including field preventive maintenance, that prevent problems instead of reacting to them.

  • Reliability engineering: failure analysis, root‑cause, and reliability engineering that raise uptime across a growing, geographically distributed fleet.

  • Repair operations: run the repair pipeline for velocity and quality — the right units back in service, on time, done right the first time.

  • Parts & materials: the parts and inventory discipline that keeps the shops moving and work orders closing.

  • People — first: recruit, develop, certify, and retain the technicians and shop leaders who are our real constraint and our real advantage. Build the bench.

  • Multi‑site build‑out: stand up and run shops across the regions where great talent is available, and build the leaders who run those sites without you in the room.

  • Standardization on the floor: keep every rebuild and repair true to our standard configurations, protecting the standardized‑fleet strategy at the point where it's easiest to erode.

  • Data on the floor: keep monitoring hardware live and telematics data clean, and act on predictive‑maintenance alerts. You're a primary user of this data today; a future Fleet Analytics function will own the platform behind it.

What you'll be measured on

You’ll help set the exact targets, but expect to be…
