Mechanical Engineer – Rotational Program – New Graduate
About The Position
We are ERock! Enchanted Rock is a leader and innovator in distributed energy. Enchanted Rock has responded to long-term trends in electricity by becoming the first smart-grid supplier to US energy consumers. The company installs, operates, and integrates its highly flexible, low-cost, and quick-response distributed generation to increase reliability and stability, reduce costs and decrease carbon footprint. At Enchanted Rock, our backup generators ensure that customers will never be without power, allowing their business to operate normally when there is an outage in the area. Our innovative approach provides customers with highly reliable, ultra-clean backup generation at a fraction of the cost of traditional backup solutions. We seek those who share our commitment to customer service, innovation, and ingenuity. The Early Career Engineering Rotational Program (Mechanical) is designed for recent graduates seeking hands-on experience across the lifecycle of distributed energy systems. This program provides structured rotations across Engineering, Operations & Maintenance (O&M), and Solutions Engineering/EPC, with each rotation lasting approximately 9 months. Participants will gain exposure to mechanical systems supporting power generation, including engines, cooling systems, fuel systems, and balance-of-plant equipment while also developing cross-functional knowledge in project execution and field operations. This program offers a unique opportunity to build both technical depth and operational understanding in a fast-growing energy company.
