About The Position

The Data Center department at GTA is seeking a Facility Mechanical Technician to protect and maintain major generator and mechanical support assets across our data centers. This role focuses on generator maintenance and repair, load-bank support, fuel readiness, small engine and pump work, forklift maintenance coordination, light fabrication, vendor oversight, and maintenance evidence. It's an ideal opportunity for a hands-on mechanical technician who wants to build a specialty in critical infrastructure—where your work keeps generators ready to fire when every second counts. As a Facility Mechanical Technician at GTA Data Centers, you'll own day-to-day generator and mechanical support systems, troubleshooting issues before they impact operations and ensuring critical backup power stays ready.

Requirements

Strong hands-on mechanical aptitude with generator, engine, pump, fuel, or equipment-maintenance experience preferred.
Ability to troubleshoot mechanical symptoms methodically and document findings, parts, service actions, and unresolved risks.
Comfortable working around critical infrastructure, rotating equipment, fuel systems, batteries, electrical interfaces, and vendors.
Ability to follow MOPs, EOPs, safety procedures, hot-work controls, tool controls, and maintenance checklists.
High school diploma or equivalent required.
Trade school, diesel/mechanical training, military technical training, generator training, or equivalent work experience strongly preferred.
2 or more years of generator, diesel, mechanical, pump, equipment, facilities, or field-service maintenance experience preferred.
Electrical and fuel-system work must stay within legal, safety, training, and site authorization boundaries.
Must possess a valid driver’s license and be willing to travel between various locations.
Must be able to pass required background checks and follow data center security, safety, and access-control policies.

Nice To Haves

Practical fabrication, welding, forklift, pump, small engine, or field-repair experience is helpful.
Data center experience is helpful but not required.
Experience with generators, fuel systems, batteries, starters, controls, engines, pumps, forklifts, or load-bank support is preferred.
Generator vendor training, welding, forklift, OSHA, hot work, CPR/first aid, or mechanical certifications are helpful but not required at hire.
