About The Position

Keep critical oilfield operations powered and running. If you can diagnose, repair, and deploy generators that crews depend on every day, we want to hear from you. You are more than a mechanic. You are the person who keeps drilling, completions, production, and field operations running when reliable power matters most. Join EnerStar Solutions as a Power Generation Technician and work with a growing fleet of generators, light towers, power distribution equipment, and field-support assets throughout the Fairview, MT and Western North Dakota region. If you enjoy diagnosing complex equipment, solving problems in the field, traveling to support operations, and being part of a company that invests in your growth and celebrates your success, this role could be your next great opportunity. As a Power Generation Technician, you will inspect, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair generators, light towers, power distribution systems, and related equipment that support oilfield and industrial operations throughout Eastern Montana and the Bakken region. This is a hands-on field and shop position based in the Fairview, MT area, supporting operations across Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, and other EnerStar districts as needed. You will occasionally assist with field rig moves, equipment mobilizations, and operational support activities when business needs require. You will work independently, solve complex mechanical and electrical issues, and help ensure our equipment remains safe, reliable, and ready for deployment.
