This pathway features an accelerated growth program designed to rapidly fast-track you into a Tech 1 position through targeted mentorship, practical floor time, and priority access to our training modules.
  • Learn from the Subject Matter Experts: Regardless of your starting pathway, you will team up with senior technicians to deploy, commission, and test industrial-grade equipment at the shop and on customer sites.
  • Master the Machinery: Perform hands-on preventive maintenance, diagnostics, and complex repairs across our core fleets: Power Generation, Temperature Control (HVAC/Chillers), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and Oil-Free Air Compressors.
  • Drive Your Paycheck: Take advantage of built-in opportunities to work overtime, weekends, and participate in regional travel to rapidly advance your skills.

  • Academic Verification: Must submit a current official or unofficial academic transcript with your application.
  • Targeted Majors & Programs:
    • Diesel & Heavy Equipment Technology: Focuses on diesel engine overhauls, fuel delivery, and industrial powertrains.
    • On-Site Power Generation Technology: Specialized training in natural gas/diesel generators, industrial motor control, and power systems.
    • HVAC/R & Climate Control Engineering: Focuses on commercial refrigeration, industrial chillers, and environmental controls.
    • Electrical Technology & Industrial Electrician: Teaches three-phase power, high-voltage circuitry, and electrical distribution safety.
    • Mechatronics & Building Automation Systems: Covers PLCs, CAN/BUS telemetry, solid-state electronics, and automated grid infrastructure (ideal for BESS and microgrids).
    • Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Technology: Connects classroom calculations of nominal/effective tonnage and kW requirements to live operations.
  • Core Requirements: A valid driver’s license with a clean driving record (Must for travel Techs). Ability to obtain and maintain a TWIC card or DOT medical card based on regional customer requirements.
