Join Enexor BioEnergy

Enexor is a venture-backed climate tech company near Nashville turning waste into clean energy and high-purity CO₂. We build modular systems that address emissions, waste, and energy access—all in one platform.

We hire builders, problem-solvers, and doers who take ownership and get things done.

Why This Role Matters

We’re hiring Electrical & Controls Technicians to wire, test, and commission the next generation of our distributed energy and carbon capture platforms. You'll work hands-on with power, control, and instrumentation systems that must perform in real-world environments.

What You’ll Do
  • Build and wire electrical panels and field devices to spec

  • Run conduit, pull wire, and terminate connections across modular systems
  • Calibrate sensors and validate control loops (thermal, gas, pressure)
  • Read and interpret schematics, layouts, and wiring diagrams
  • Support commissioning and field deployment of systems
  • Work with engineers and other team members to diagnose problems, debug issues, and close feedback loops fast while maintaining accurate documentation of changes and updates.
  • Provide assistance with continuous improvement of control systems, wiring standards, and panel design practices.
  • Support a wide range of business needs beyond electrical and controls items, assisting cross-functional teams with prototyping, assembly, testing, and general operations as required to meet project and organizational goals.
  • Communicate clearly and proactively with team members, engineers, and leadership to share progress, flag issues early, provide solutions, and keep projects moving efficiently.
  • Demonstrate flexibility to support extended work hours or workweeks as needed to meet critical project deadlines or business priorities.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For
  • Hands-on experience with electrical systems and controls
  • Ability to read and follow schematics and technical drawings
  • Comfortable with tools, meters, and shop/lab environments
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality work
  • Team-first attitude and willingness to own the outcome
  • U.S.-based only. No relocation assistance

Bonus Points For:

  • Electrical certifications or trade licenses (Journeyman, OSHA 10/30, etc.)
  • Experience with PLCs, HMIs, or industrial automation
  • Background in energy systems, manufacturing, or cleantech

Benefits

Why You’ll Love It Here
  • Mission with urgency
  • Flat org, fast decisions
  • Equity upside in a growing climate tech startup
  • Hands-on, real-world product work
