In addition to these requirements, schedule flexibility is required. You'll need to be based in the greater Phoenix area, but you will support about 18 stations throughout Arizona. Most are in the Phoenix/Tempe/Mesa area, but there are also stations in Winslow, Grand Canyon National Park and other locations. You'll need to be willing to put in a significant amount of driving time, and overnight travel will be required on occasion. As part of a rotation, you will be on call every fourth week and you'll need to be available 24 hours during that time.

While you'll spend eight to ten weeks training on day shifts, once you're on your own you will work the night shift, typically 6 pm to 2:30 am. However, you may be called out at any time to respond to issues that arise. In addition, you will help cover Field Service Maintenance Mechanics in neighboring territories when they take time off.

The Role

In this role you will inspect, maintain and repair the fueling equipment and ensure an aesthetically pleasing appearance for multiple stations in the state. The stations are diverse, including LNG, CNG, and L/CNG facilities. Some are private dedicated stations supporting local transit or solid waste collection fleets. A few are public, and the Winslow station is part of America's Natural Gas Highway (ANGH), a coast-to-coast and border-to-border network supporting the trucking industry. To serve as the mechanical/maintenance expert for these stations, you will need a broad skill set coming in the door. We'll add to that skill set by providing outstanding training.

Each shift you will visit one or more sites to provide equipment and control maintenance and repair, and create positive customer relations that promote Clean Energy. You'll follow a monthly rotation to ensure coverage, and also respond to any issues that arise.

Preventative maintenance will include ensuring safety interlocks for shut-down systems are working properly, automatic rebuilding of compressors after 5000 hours of use, disassembling and assembling components for cleaning and repair, working on pumps and cryogenic tanks, painting and cleaning the station, and more.

Specifically you will:
  • Conduct periodic inspections of fueling locations and equipment to determine that proper and normal operating conditions are being met.
  • Check and record operational data such as fluid levels, inter-stage temperatures and pressures, compare to trends and have the ability to make corrections as needed.
  • Install, remove and modify fueling locations and equipment.
  • Maintain all fueling related equipment and structures in accordance with manufactures and Clean Energy guidelines.
  • Clean and maintain fueling locations by picking up trash, emptying trash cans and dumpsters, hand cleaning and polishing fueling equipment, and painting and maintaining the canopy, lot, islands, and surrounding landscaping in and outside of enclosures.
  • Repair, replace, and adjust malfunctioning equipment to restore proper operating condition specified in regulations and repair manuals.
  • Inspect, maintain, adjust, repair or replace electrical equipment including electrical wiring, conduit, panels, switch gear, switches, gauges, transducers, solenoids, gas dryers, actuators, motors, meters and controls for safe and proper operating condition.
  • Inspect, maintain, adjust, repair or replace mechanical equipment such as cryogenic pumps & valves, compressors pumps, engines, intercoolers, after coolers, heat exchangers, piping, tubing, fittings, filters, traps, gas dryers, fasteners, valves and actuators for safe and proper operating condition.
Note: this description is intended to give you a general overview of the position and is not an exhaustive listing of duties and responsibilities.

Why Clean Energy

Strong training -- you bring strong learning acumen and a great attitude and we'll provide the tools you need to succeed. The first week you'll shadow another Field Service Maintenance Mechanic who will show you the scope of the position and help you learn your assignment. Within the first few months, you'll also travel to Denver to attend a two-week group training session. You will have additional training in Phoenix, and of course, you'll have other Field Service Maintenance Mechanics and your supervisor who can also answer questions as you are becoming acclimated.

Career growth potential -- there are plenty of opportunities and growth options for our strong players. You might choose to pursue the traditional path to a Senior Service Tech, move sideways into a Commissioning Tech role for opening new stations, or even pursue a degree focused on engineering or operations positions. With strong performance, talents and interest, you can chart the direction of your career.

Green standard for sustainability -- you probably already knew that natural gas burns much more cleanly than gasoline and diesel, producing significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. But did you also know that natural gas is increasingly renewable, using biomethane reclaimed from landfill via waste-to-energy solutions? Clean Energy is helping companies and public organizations meet aggressive environmental goals.

Proven strong leadership -- you will join a team of accomplished, seasoned professionals at Clean Energy, led by Andrew Littlefair. Mr. Littlefair served as President of Pickens Fuel Corp (PFC), predecessor company of Clean Energy, which he co-founded in 1997 with Boone Pickens and was Staff Assistant to then President Ronald Reagan in the Office of Presidential Advance from 1983 to 1987. Our executive team's profiles can be viewed at CleanEnergyFuels.com.

Solid growth -- Clean Energy has the right solutions at the right time, as more and more organizations are exploring alternative fuel vehicles and solutions. For example, in 2013 our subsidiary IMW announced an agreement to provide natural gas compressors for the construction of more than 300 compressed natural gas stations in China. Clean Energy also secured its largest single order and deployment of medium-duty CNG trucks for delivery services, from Fox Transportation. And the momentum continues to build.

Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive wage, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and other insurances, a 401(k) plan with discretionary company match, paid time off and more. You'll also receive a company truck, which you'll fuel at your stations, a cell phone and uniform.

Keys to Success

To find success in this role, you'll need to be a total package person, with the technical prowess, a commitment to safety, strong analytical skills, and customer service savvy. As a Field Service Maintenance Mechanic II, you must be capable of troubleshooting, analyzing, and correcting -- handling everything for your sites. With your strong background (the job is approximately 70% mechanical and 30% electrical) you'll find your way, but will first need to learn the terminology, understand and respect the higher pressure, always follow safety protocols, and learn CNG and LNG maintenance. We'll give you the tools you need to succeed through a varied training program, but will be expected to come in, hit the ground running and get right down to the business of learning and performing.

To be the total package person we seek, you must also have these key competencies:

Strong sense of urgency-- a customer centric attitude and sense of urgency in protecting the client's and Clean Energy's interests. Compressors are on an auto-call system and if there's a problem, response must be immediate.

A "do what it takes" attitude -- you must take pride in everything you do, be dedicated, and present Clean Energy in the best light possible.

Self-motivated leader -- we're looking for a professional who will bring a strong sense of ownership with the ability to understand problems / situations and make the proper decision. You need to be the type of person who "owns everything in your world" and can prioritize problems, from most important to least important.
