Description

Data Center Generator Service Technician Opportunity Summary:

Data centers run on backup power that has to work the first time, every time. As a Data Center Generator Technician at W.W. Williams, you’ll commission, test, troubleshoot, and support standby power generators at data center campuses — the mission-critical infrastructure behind the cloud. You’ll work as part of a coordinated commissioning team, backed by a structured, company-paid training path that grows you from a strong generator tech into a trusted commissioning specialist.

If you take pride in precision, clean documentation, and getting mission-critical power systems online right, we want to talk to you. Data Center Generator Service Technician’s get a $5.00 per incentive when working at a Data Center. This opportunity is immediate — apply today!

Job Duties:

• Commission and repair standby power generators and related power-generation systems at data center sites, verifying that equipment is installed, tested, and operating to design parameters.
• Perform startup, functional testing, and load-bank testing; accurately record instrumentation and commissioning data.
• Troubleshoot and diagnose generator controls (AC and DC), voltage regulators, engine control units, and exhaust aftertreatment systems using electronic diagnostic tools.
• Perform preventative maintenance, field modifications, and warranty corrections in line with your completed training.
• Conduct failure analysis and document findings, corrective actions, and results clearly.
• Coordinate daily with the site commissioning team — project lead, service coordinator, and contractors — to keep the project on schedule.
• Follow all site safety and compliance requirements, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), NFPA 70E, and OSHA standards, plus data center site protocols and etiquette.
• Maintain accurate records to support warranty, commissioning, and customer reporting.

Work Experience & Qualifications:

• 5+ years of generator service, power generation, or commissioning experience (data center experience a plus), or equivalent training and experience.
• Working knowledge of standby power generators, generator controls, electrical systems, and diesel engines.
• Comfort using electronic diagnostic tools and commissioning/construction-management platforms (e.g., Procore).
• Willingness and ability to travel to jobsites and to be available for on-call support as project schedules require.
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills, precision, attention to detail, and excellent documentation habits.
• Commitment to completing a structured commissioning and safety training path (LOTO, NFPA 70E, OSHA 10, electrical, commissioning, and failure analysis) — provided and paid for by the company.
• EGSA certification is a plus — and if you don’t have it yet, we’ll help you earn it.
• Your own hand tools (backed by our Tool Replacement Insurance program).
• Transitioning military and trade-school graduates ready to grow are encouraged to apply.

Why This Role:

• Mission-critical work. You’ll keep the backup power behind data centers ready to perform when it matters most.
• Specialized, in-demand skills. Company-paid training and certifications build a skill set that’s genuinely scarce — and well rewarded.
• A clear path forward. Grow from Apprentice to Journeyman to Master-level commissioning technician.
• A real support structure. You’ll work within a coordinated commissioning team — never out on an island.

Employee Rewards & Benefits:

• Competitive pay — with premium/specialty compensation opportunities for certified commissioning technicians.
• Company-paid specialized commissioning, safety, and OEM training and certifications — including EGSA sponsorship.
• 8 Paid Holidays & 1 Paid Wellness Day
• Paid Time Off
• Employee Referral Bonus Program
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 401k with a Company Match
• Company Paid Training
