About Gentech Field Services
Gentech Field Services is a growing leader in the power generation industry, specializing in the sales, service, maintenance, repairs, inspections, and rentals of diesel generators and fire pump systems.
Our team supports clients across a wide range of industries where reliable power is critical to their operations. We are committed to quality workmanship, continuous improvement, and delivering dependable solutions our clients can count on.
Position Overview
We are seeking a mechanically skilled Licensed Millwright with strong troubleshooting abilities and a genuine pride in their workmanship.
The people who thrive here are passionate about their trade, enjoy solving complex mechanical problems, are continuously looking for ways to improve, and care about delivering work they can stand behind.

Successful candidates must be comfortable working across complete generator systems, including diesel engines, cooling systems, fuel systems, air systems, fire pumps, rotating equipment, and supporting electrical troubleshooting when required.
One week may involve preventative maintenance inspections, engine repairs, cooling system troubleshooting, generator installations, and fire pump inspections. The next may focus on major mechanical repairs, load bank testing, commissioning activities, rental generator installations, and supporting emergency service calls.
Previous generator experience is an asset, but not required. We are looking for mechanically inclined Millwrights with strong fundamentals, a willingness to get their hands dirty, and an interest in learning all aspects of power generation systems.
