We are seeking an Electrical Technician in Houston, TX on behalf of a global leader in the equipment rental industry. This isn't just a bench-tech role; it is a leadership position designed for a subject matter expert in transformer maintenance and power distribution. You will serve as the technical anchor for our Houston service center, overseeing the reliability of a high-value rental fleet and mentoring the next generation of technicians.

What’s in it for you:

• Hourly rate up to $50/hr based on experience. If your target pay is higher, we still encourage you to apply—we could request adjustments based on experience and market conditions.
• Company vehicle.
• Career advancement into higher-level technician roles within the Service Department
• Comprehensive benefits including health and financial plans, paid parental leave, and paid sick time.
• Employee discount programs and additional vacation buy-up options.
• Inclusive, team-oriented culture with strong internal support programs.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the diagnostics, complex repair, and preventative maintenance of oil-filled transformers and associated power distribution equipment.
• Ensure the rental fleet meets standards through meticulous component testing, including contactor/relay refurbishment and precision small-component replacement.
• Act as the Shop Lead, responsible for training junior technicians, upholding safety protocols, and optimizing workflow efficiency.
• While primarily shop-based, you will occasionally spearhead critical in-field projects, providing on-site technical solutions for key clients.
• Maintain an uncompromising commitment to safety standards, ensuring all repairs and shop operations exceed OSHA and company-specific guidelines.

Qualifications:

• Minimum of 5+ years of specialized experience in the troubleshooting and maintenance of electrical transformers.
• Mastery of oil-filled transformers and systems up to 480V.
