Pico Propane and Fuels, a Meritum Energy Holdings Company, is looking for a Field Service Technician to join our generator rental fleet team in the Eagle Ford service area. The Generator Field Service Technician is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, commissioning, and supporting the Company's propane/natural gas-powered generator rental fleet and associated equipment, playing a critical role in maximizing fleet availability, equipment reliability, and customer uptime.

This position performs both shop and field work, including preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, startup and commissioning, equipment inspections, and technical support at customer locations, ensuring rental assets are maintained to the highest standards and ready for deployment.

• Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, fuel system, ignition, cooling, and control system issues
• Perform major component replacement including alternators, controllers, ignition systems, regulators, throttle bodies, batteries, and cooling system components
• Perform electrical connections associated with equipment setup, startup, commissioning, and decommissioning
• Conduct operational testing, load bank testing, and performance verification before equipment is released for rental
• Respond to field service calls to troubleshoot and repair rental equipment at customer locations
• Assist with installation, startup, recovery, and demobilization of rental equipment
• Maintain accurate maintenance history, inspection records, repair documentation, and parts usage for fleet assets
• Coordinate with Operations and Dispatch to prioritize equipment readiness and field response
• Maintain service vehicle, tools, diagnostic equipment, and inventory
• Follow all company safety policies, manufacturer recommendations, and applicable regulatory requirements
• Recommend and help implement improvements to preventive maintenance practices and fleet standardization

• Primary coverage area includes Eagle Ford. Occasional travel for training or SOS support may be required
• Support normal business hours during the week
• Support and available after hours for emergencies and unplanned activity including evenings and weekends to support customer needs and impacts from weather events

• Proven work experience as a Service Technician highly preferred
• Ability to read wiring diagrams and basic electrical schematics
• Advanced knowledge of generators and systems
• Working knowledge of single and three-phase electrical systems, engine fuel systems, and control panel
• Ability to solve problems and repair equipment on site
• Ability to effectively and efficiently use navigation tools such as GPS, smartphone apps, and/or web-based or physical maps
• Ability to maintain accurate logs and records
• Ability to carry out a series of instructions with limited supervision
• Willingness to learn, grow, and uphold a customer focused culture that continually strives to exceed expectations
• Support growth and retention efforts

• Minimum 2+ years of hands‑on experience with generators, small industrial engines, or related mechanical/electrical equipment (generator‑specific experience strongly preferred)
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record; CDL a plus if towing equipment
• High school diploma or equivalent required; technical/trade school training a plus
