Engineering Technician

About K1 Industries

For the first time in decades, power demand growth in the US has jumped 5x, driving multi-year lead times for critical power infrastructure. K1 builds and deploys modular power packages at scale, now.

The Role

We're hiring a hands-on engineering technician supporting assembly, installation, and commissioning of our first turbine generator packages. The role is split between the shop and the field, and the work is highly technical, physical, and deadline driven. You will work across mechanical and electrical systems on the same day.

What You'll Work On

• Precision alignment of large rotating equipment trains (turbine, gearbox, generator) using laser alignment systems

• Mechanical assembly and maintenance: couplings, gearboxes, bearing changes, piping, and skid systems

• Rigging and moving heavy equipment and components

• Fabricating brackets, mounts, guards, and fixtures (cutting, drilling, fitting, and welding)

• Field installation and commissioning under time pressure, with occasional travel to install sites, working directly from P&IDs, electrical schematics, and mechanical drawings

• Electrical troubleshooting: control circuits, instrumentation, protective relays, and generator auxiliary systems

• Terminating, ringing out, and troubleshooting control and instrumentation wiring (thermocouples, RTDs, speed sensors, connectors, harnesses)

• Calibrating various sensors and instrumentation

You Might Be a Great Fit If

• You have 5+ years of hands-on experience with rotating equipment, power generation, or comparable heavy mechanical and electrical systems

• You troubleshoot electrically with multimeters, amp clamps, and test equipment, down to the wire and terminal level

• You have performed precision shaft alignments and can read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings independently

• You have welding and fabrication experience

• You have a gas turbine, aviation, or military powerplant background

• You execute under tight deadlines and field pressure, including nights, weekends, and outage schedules when required

• You are a finisher. You do not walk away from a problem until it is solved.

Bonus Points for any of

• CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar)

• Medium voltage experience

• Ability to connect to PLCs and interpret ladder diagrams to help troubleshoot
