Support Multiple Natural Gas Fueling Stations in the Extended Northwest Philadelphia Area 

This is your opportunity to work as a self-directed service technician/mechanic in the rapidly emerging, cutting-edge, green fuel environment. The extended Northwest Philadelphia area and Montgomery County is a fast growing market and you'll be directly responsible for five prime station sites. You'll leave from your home each day and travel from site to site maintaining and repairing equipment, making sure the overall needs of each station are met, and representing Clean Energy in a professional and experienced manner. As a Maintenance Mechanic II, you'll enjoy being the site expert for your customers. Prove yourself and excel, and you can grow right along with us -- perhaps moving onto a Senior Maintenance Mechanic position, then into management.

Clean Energy is North America's leading provider of natural gas fuel for transportation and a global leader in expanding international natural gas vehicle markets. With experience and expertise built over more than a decade, we are committed to helping our customers -- companies operating all kinds of fleets from the goods movement sector, to refuse and public transit, to shuttles and taxi fleets -- gain the measurable economic and environmental advantages of natural gas fueling. We have more than 1000 employees and are continuing to expand our 550+ station portfolio.

The Role

As a Maintenance Mechanic II, you will inspect, maintain and repair the fueling equipment and ensure an esthetically pleasing appearance for five assigned stations. You will work out of your home and travel from site to site within the extended Northwest Philadelphia area that includes Montgomery County, doing equipment and control maintenance and creating positive customer relations that promote Clean Energy. For example, you might travel to one, two, or even three stations per day, making sure safety interlocks for shut-down systems are working properly, or automatically rebuilding compressors after 5000 hours of use. Quick question for you - click here  You'll get to know each customer, checking in upon arrival, and building a line of open communication. You might meet with the phone company to repair or install a line, or take time to paint or clean the site. These are your stations to monitor and you will take responsibility for their overall care, with the lion's share of your duties being control and mechanical maintenance. Some calls will be short, while others, rebuilding a compressor for example, will take longer.

You will have a handheld computer with GPS and scanner that begins at departure at the beginning of your day (less a commute time calculation) and is scanned at each destination.

  • 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 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

Autonomy and support -- in this position you'll be self-directed and enjoy the autonomy to plan your schedule and meet your duties in the manner you choose. We understand it's a balance though; if you need support you can get it. You can always contact your supervisor and we will also provide a dedicated mentor whom you'll shadow as you learn your responsibilities and territory. Generally, you will work with your mentor for between four and six weeks. You'll also enjoy a day and a half of onboarding training in Allentown and an additional week of training in Denver. 

Career growth potential -- there are plenty of opportunity and growth options for our strong players. You might choose to pursue the traditional path to Senior Maintenance Mechanic, 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. 

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 qualify and find success in this role, you'll need to be a total package person -- have the technical prowess, a commitment to safety, strong analytical skills, and customer service savvy. As a Maintenance Mechanic II, you should 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 both CNG and LNG sites. Through a varied training program, we'll give you the tools you need to succeed, but you should hit the ground running and get right down to the business of learning and performing.

To be the total package person we seek, you should 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 should be hard-working, dedicated, and present Clean Energy in the best light possible. Attitude is always important.
