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.
Location: West Seneca, NY
Sector: Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) / Anaerobic Digestion
Salary: From $30 per hour + full benefits
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.
