About The Position

The Maintenance Technician – Power Generation is a multi-craft, field-based maintenance role supporting AMP’s mission-critical power-generation fleet at data centers and other power-generation sites. The position is primarily mechanical and also requires strong electrical troubleshooting capability. The technician performs preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance on Dynamis gas turbine generator packages and associated balance-of-plant equipment to support safety, availability, reliability, and equipment life. The fleet includes aero-derivative packages such as the DT35 with the GE LM2500+G4 and larger packages such as the DT70 with the GE LM9000. The technician works across the complete package, including mechanical auxiliaries, fuel and lubrication systems, hydraulics, cooling and ventilation, starting systems, generator auxiliaries, controls, instrumentation, low-voltage electrical systems, and other site balance-of-plant equipment. Work is field-based and involves frequent travel on an assigned rotational or hitch schedule, with on-call support as required. The role may involve nights, weekends, holidays, callouts, outages, and extended hours to support mission-critical operations. The position requires a high school diploma or GED, typically 3–5+ years of relevant hands-on industrial maintenance experience, and demonstrated mechanical and low-voltage electrical troubleshooting capability. Technical training and experience with gas turbines, generators, or power-generation equipment are preferred. The role also requires compliance with safety procedures, accurate maintenance documentation, and effective coordination with operations, engineering, OEMs, and other field personnel.
