## Description

SpaceXAI is seeking a Turbine Technician to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot gas turbine generator packages at its power generation facility.

This is a hands-on role where you will inspect running turbine packages, support start-up and shutdown, respond to trips and alarms, restore equipment, and keep generation online.

Responsibilities:

- Operate, inspect, and maintain gas turbine generator packages (including Solar and 6000-class units) and associated auxiliaries

- Support turbine start-up, loading, shutdown, cooldown, and turning-gear operations per OEM and site procedures

- Perform daily inspections of turbines and package systems; identify leaks, vibration, temperature, and alarm issues early and self-report

- Troubleshoot and repair operational issues on turbine packages during normal operation, start-up, trips, outages, or commissioning

- Adjust, repair, or replace faulty mechanical, electrical, and controls components on turbines, generators, and package auxiliaries

- Assist with maintenance and troubleshooting of turbine control systems, including OEM turbine controllers, PLC, HMI, and SCADA interfaces

- Write, follow, and execute MOPs, SOPs, and EOPs; support lockout/tagout, hot work, confined space, and site safety and environmental requirements

- Support scheduled turbine outages: filter changes, inspections, OEM work, system isolation, and return-to-service

- Support commissioning by witnessing turbine start-up, assisting with functional testing, and monitoring turnover

- Read and interpret P&IDs, OEM manuals, schematics, and drawings; coordinate with operations, maintenance, and engineering to restore the turbine and keep generation online

Basic Qualifications:

- High school diploma or equivalency certificate

- 3+ years of hands-on experience as a technician or operator working on gas turbines, rotating equipment, or industrial mechanical, electrical, and/or control systems

Preferred Skills and Experience:

- Experience operating or maintaining gas turbines (Solar, 6000-class, or similar) in a power plant or industrial generation setting

- Experience with turbine auxiliaries (lube oil, fuel gas, inlet filtration, enclosure systems) and generator systems

- Experience writing and executing MOPs, SOPs, and EOPs

- Experience troubleshooting turbine equipment, including OEM turbine control interfaces and PLC/HMI/SCADA

- Associate’s degree in a technical field (e.g., Power Plant Technology, Turbine Technology, Mechatronics) or equivalent experience

- Strong documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently in a team environment

Additional Requirements:

- Must be able to lift at least 25 lbs (unassisted), climb ladders, and work in confined spaces

- Must be willing to travel up to 25%
