For over 40 years, our client has been the Gulf Coast's trusted name in industrial motor and generator repair — serving refineries, offshore platforms, and heavy industry where downtime isn't an option. We're looking for a seasoned mechanic who takes pride in their craft and can hit the ground running on complex rotating equipment.


What You'll Do

  • Diagnose, disassemble, repair, and refurbish industrial electric motors and generators across a range of industrial applications

  • Complete repair reports, inspection records, and testing documentation accurately
  • Uphold high-voltage safety standards and maintain a clean, organized work area

What You Bring

  • 10–15 years of hands-on experience repairing and servicing industrial electric motors and generators
  • Strong electrical and mechanical troubleshooting skills; experience with high-voltage testing equipment
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, specs, and repair documentation
  • Familiarity with precision measuring instruments and basic machining practices
  • Self-motivated; able to work independently, prioritize tasks, and meet quality standards without close supervision
  • Preferred: motor rewinding experience, VPI process knowledge, or vibration analysis background

Benefits

  • Health, dental & vision
  • PTO & paid holidays
  • 401(k) with match
  • Advancement opportunities

Qualified candidates with 10+ years in industrial motor & generator repair are encouraged to apply.
