About the Role

We're hiring Battery Room Technicians to support a 24/7 distribution operation in Memphis. You'll be the go-to person for keeping the facility's electric forklift fleet charged, maintained, and ready to run — every shift, no exceptions. This is a hands-on role with a consistent schedule and a team that takes safety seriously.

Pay up to $25/hr for candidates with direct battery room or industrial maintenance experience. Strong mechanical candidates with the right attitude will also be considered — we'll train the right person.

What You'll Do

• Perform routine battery maintenance: watering, cleaning, equalization, and capacity testing

• Execute battery changeouts and swaps to keep lift trucks running throughout each shift

• Inspect chargers, connectors, and cables; perform basic repairs and flag issues for escalation

• Monitor charge/discharge cycles and maintain accurate maintenance logs

• Identify and troubleshoot underperforming batteries using voltmeters, hydrometers, and diagnostic tools

• Ensure battery room is clean, organized, and compliant with all OSHA and safety requirements

• Handle and neutralize electrolyte (sulfuric acid) spills using proper PPE and procedures

• Coordinate with forklift operators to schedule battery swaps with minimal downtime

• Report equipment issues and trends to the facility supervisor

What You'll Need

Required:

• High school diploma or GED

• Minimum 1–2 years of hands-on experience in a battery room, industrial maintenance, warehouse maintenance, or closely related skilled trades role

• Working knowledge of DC electrical systems and battery charging principles

• Familiarity with lead-acid battery maintenance procedures (watering, equalization, specific gravity testing)

• Experience following OSHA safety protocols and using PPE in a maintenance environment

• Ability to lift 50+ lbs and safely operate battery lifts and hoists

• Reliable, accountable, and comfortable working independently — this operation runs 24/7 and coverage gaps aren't an option

Preferred:

• Direct battery room experience in a distribution center, warehouse, or logistics facility

• Forklift operator certification

• OSHA 10 or 30 (General Industry) certification

• Experience troubleshooting charger faults, bad cells, or connector/cable issues

• Familiarity with battery management or maintenance logging systems

Will Also Consider:

• Candidates from auto/diesel mechanics, HVAC, or industrial electrical backgrounds with transferable hands-on maintenance skills and a strong mechanical foundation

What to Expect

• Fixed schedule — same days and shift every week, no rotation

• Weekday openings: Mon–Fri 8-hr shifts at 40 hrs/wk (no OT exposure)

• Weekend openings: Sat–Sun 12-hr shifts at 24 hrs/wk

• 24/7 operation with a structured team already in place

• Safety-first culture with PPE provided

• Opportunity to grow into a lead tech or senior role over time

• W-2 employment through Mural Group — not 1099
