Electrical Maintenance Technician
Location: West Seneca, NY
Sector: Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) / Anaerobic Digestion
About the Opportunity
We’re supporting a growing RNG operator in securing a Maintenance Technician to join a high-performing site team in West Seneca. This is a critical, boots-on-the-ground role where you’ll be responsible for keeping key infrastructure operational—from anaerobic digesters through to gas upgrading systems. If you’re someone who thrives in complex, fast-moving industrial environments and takes pride in keeping plants running efficiently—this is exactly where you want to be.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Deliver troubleshooting, repair, and preventative maintenance across plant equipment
- Diagnose and resolve issues across:
- Electrical systems (4–20mA, 120–460 VAC)
- Instrumentation and control systems
- Utilise SCADA/HMI platforms to monitor and optimise system performance
- Execute and enhance preventative maintenance schedules
- Interpret schematics, manuals, and wiring diagrams to plan repairs
- Manage work orders and maintenance tracking via CMMS systems
- Source parts, manage inventory, and minimise operational downtime
- Implement temporary fixes when required to maintain uptime
- Support operations teams and develop cross-functional capability
- Train operators and peers where needed
- Maintain site standards for safety, cleanliness, and compliance
- Identify and escalate safety risks proactively
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years’ experience in industrial maintenance
- Strong background across:
- Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic & pneumatic systems
- Experience working with:
- Motors, pumps, gearboxes, conveyors (highly advantageous)
- Ability to troubleshoot electrical and instrumentation systems
- Experience operating forklifts or powered industrial equipment
- Solid understanding of health & safety regulations and best practices
Key Attributes
- Proactive, accountable, and solution-driven
- Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Confident communicator with a collaborative mindset
- Comfortable in demanding, hands-on environments
- Flexible and reliable – open to on-call and out-of-hours support
Working Environment
This role operates across both indoor and outdoor environments and requires comfort working in:
- Variable weather conditions (heat, cold, wet)
- High-noise and high-odour environments
- Exposure to industrial processes including biogas systems, food waste, and chemicals
- Environments requiring full PPE compliance
Schedule
- Full-time, 40 hours per week
- Day shift with overtime and on-call requirements
Physical Requirements
- Regular lifting up to 35 lbs (up to 50 lbs with assistance)
- Frequent walking, climbing, bending, kneeling
- Working at height and in confined/awkward spaces
- Strong manual dexterity and situational awareness
Why This Role Stands Out
This is more than a maintenance role—it’s a position at the core of a rapidly scaling energy sector. You’ll be directly supporting infrastructure that transforms waste into renewable fuel, playing a hands-on role in reducing emissions and driving sustainability.
