Weekend Generator Mechanic Jobs (NOW HIRING)

As a Generator Commissioning Lead at Giga, you are the technical authority on the pad, providing on-site oversight of the generator commissioning process from delivery through turnover. You'll own the mechanical, electrical, and controls scope of commissioning, working shoulder to shoulder with multi-disciplinary teams and vendors, coordinating the many parties that touch a site, keeping parts and fuel flowing, and directing generator testing and troubleshooting as issues surface. This isn't a role where you do every task yourself; it's one where you make sure the right work happens in the right sequence, to Giga's standards, so sites reach turnover on schedule. In a company where uptime is everything, you set the bar for how our generation assets get commissioned and proven out.

This is a remote role with on-site commissioning work. Between commissioning campaigns, you'll work remotely, handling planning, documentation, vendor coordination, and prep for the next site from wherever you're based. When a site is ready to commission, you'll travel to that data center facility, embed with the team, and own the work through turnover before returning to a remote stretch ahead of the next one.
