You may occasionally be asked to cover another territory to meet demands.

The Role

You will inspect, maintain and repair the fueling equipment at your assigned stations, and ensure each station has an esthetically pleasing appearance. You will travel from site to site doing equipment and control maintenance and creating positive customer relations that promote Clean Energy. Typically you will travel to multiple stations each day, making sure safety interlocks for shut-down systems are working properly or automatically rebuilding compressors after 5000 hours of use.

You'll get to know each customer, checking in upon arrival, and building a line of open communication. These will be your stations to monitor and you will take responsibility for their overall care. While the lion's share will involve electrical and mechanical maintenance, you might meet with a phone company technician to repair or install a line, or take time to paint or clean the site. Some visits will be short, while others will take longer; you might for example, have to rebuild a compressor. Quick question for you - click here

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

Specifically you will:
  • Make 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, 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 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.

What's in It for You

Strong training -- you bring strong learning acumen and a great attitude and we'll provide the tools you need to succeed. The first few weeks you'll shadow other senior Field Service Technicians who will show you the scope of the position and help you learn your assignment. Within the first few months, you'll also attend group on-line and classroom training sessions. Most of your training will be on-site with the actual equipment you will be maintaining. And of course, you'll have your teammates and 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 Master 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 with Clean Energy.

Professional growth -- you will have the opportunity to learn and add to your skillset. Whether you come from working in the industrial sector, on diesel engines or even service stations, you will have plenty to learn and will enjoy strong, in depth training. 

Autonomy and support -- you will enjoy a good deal of flexibility in planning and executing your responsibilities. In fact, our best Field Service Technicians take ownership of their roles and are driven to effectively meet their responsibilities according to their strong plan. At the same time, should you need guidance and support, it is available. 

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.

Pictured: you may work on equipment like that shown here. Clean Energy provides a turnkey approach to natural gas fueling solutions, including design and construction, equipment, operations and service.

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 Field Service Technician, 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 CNG and eventually LNG sites. We'll give you the tools you need to succeed through a varied training program, but you should 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 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.
