The Traveling Generator Technician performs preventive maintenance, in-depth corrective maintenance, load bank testing, and start-up commissioning on power generation equipment at customer locations throughout Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas. This is a highly travel-oriented role, including overnight and extended stays, with assignments that may keep the Technician at a single customer or project site for several weeks at a time.

Working with a high degree of independence, the Technician manages assigned service activities and travel logistics, fixes it right the first time, identifies and estimates recommended repairs, and represents Loftin as the face of the company wherever the work takes them.

• Safety first, every job, every time. Follow all safety requirements, including the use of personal protective equipment, and stop work when conditions are unsafe.
• Fix it right the first time. Troubleshoot and repair power generation equipment at a journeyman level so the customer’s equipment is ready when they need it.
• Own the job from start to finish on the road. Plan travel, parts, and tools ahead so the Technician arrives ready to work with virtually no supervision.
• Find the next repair. Identify needed corrective repairs during service and prepare clear written estimates that support the Service and Parts sales objectives of the department.
• If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen. Clearly and accurately document all work and repairs following Loftin documentation procedures.
• Represent Loftin well. Communicate clearly and professionally with customers and dealers, often far from a Loftin branch.
• Keep growing and share what you know. Progress through the Qualification Card levels on schedule and help develop less experienced technicians.
