• 5–10+ years of hands-on experience with standby and rental generator sets
• Hands-on experience with Cummins and Kohler generators — required
• Familiarity with MTU, CAT, Generac, or other major brands is a plus
• Natural gas engine experience required; diesel and bi-fuel systems a plus
• Ability to read wiring diagrams and perform systematic troubleshooting
• Core experience with 20–150 kW residential/light commercial units; exposure to 200–500 kW commercial and 1 MW+ industrial systems highly valued
• Knowledge of Tier 4 emissions standards preferred
