IGS Energy • Columbus, OH

About The Position

We are seeking a hands-on, mechanically inclined RNG Operations & Fabrication Technician to support daily shop, warehouse, and field operations. This is a working, non-supervisory role centered on building things and moving things: fabrication and assembly, carpentry and light construction, operating equipment such as forklifts and skid steers, and hauling materials, parts, and equipment to sites and projects with a pickup and trailer. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who takes ownership of a task without being managed through it, works safely, and is comfortable shifting priorities on short notice. This position supports multiple teams — Operations, Field Service, Construction, and Procurement — so no two days look the same. Someone who says, “I’ll figure it out” and then does will thrive here.

• Safe operation of powered industrial trucks and compact construction equipment.
• Confident towing and maneuvering a trailer behind a pickup truck, including backing and load securement.
• Strong problem-solving instincts and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Dependability, ownership, and a willingness to take on unfamiliar tasks and see them through.
• Clear communication with coworkers, vendors, and site personnel; basic computer and mobile device skills for inventory, email, and documentation.
• Ability to shift priorities quickly in a fast-paced environment without losing track of open work.
• High school diploma or GED, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in fabrication, carpentry, construction, assembly, maintenance, warehouse, or a related trade.
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record; ability to operate company vehicles.
