If you know how to repair a diesel engine and prefer a varied work environment, an exciting power field technician career could be the perfect fit. Peterson Cat, a leading provider of power systems and related accessories in the Western U.S., is looking to hire an experienced, well-qualified power generation specialist throughout California, Oregon, and southwest Washington.

 

The Role of a Power Field Technician


As a field technician with Peterson Cat, you will travel to our customers' facilities, jobsites, or other remote locations to repair power generation equipment and marine engines. Unlike an in-house shop position, this role requires extensive travel in an appropriately equipped company vehicle to respond to the customers' needs.

Examples of the many field technician responsibilities include:

  • Installation and startup of Cat® generators and engines
  • Repairing, rebuilding, and replacing engines and related system components in Cat and non-Cat equipment for EPG, industrial, and marine applications.
  • Conducting Level 1 and Level 2 electrical service in accordance with National Fire Protection Association 110 standards.
  • Assisting other field technicians as needed. 

 

Power Generation Technician Qualifications

We expect the best from our equipment technicians to ensure we meet our customers' expectations. Our hiring criteria for this vital role include an associate degree in diesel technology or a similar field of study from a vocational school or an accredited university or college. We also require at least five years of relevant work experience. An equivalent combination of education and on-the-job experience is acceptable.
