Generator Shop Technician

Generator Shop Technician Opportunity Summary

Are you a generator tech who would rather build and repair on the bench than chase service calls? As a Generator Shop Technician at W.W. Williams, you’ll diagnose, repair, and rebuild standby power generators and related power-generation equipment right here in our shop — alongside an experienced team focused on getting equipment running right and back to the customer fast.

• Inspect and service supporting systems — fuel, cooling, lubrication, and electrical.
• Perform load-bank testing and accurately record instrumentation readings.
• Disassemble, clean, inspect, and determine the reusability of components per OEM guidelines.
• Build a clear repair plan — operations needed and estimated hours — and document parts and labor accurately on work orders.
• Stay current on product changes, specifications, and OEM service bulletins.
• Keep a safe, clean, organized work area and follow all company, safety, and EPA standards.

• Comfort using electronic diagnostic tools and basic computer skills (Microsoft Office).
• EGSA certification is a plus — and if you don’t have it yet, we’ll help you earn it.
