Who We Are: We’re ETA veterans 2 years into building a leading emergency power and generator service company in Northern California. Through acquisition and organic growth, we operate two high-performing emergency power businesses — OnPoint Generators (Seaside) and PowerGen Inc. (East Bay). We serve high-end residential and commercial clients who rely on power uptime. With 35+ employees and a lean, high-output leadership team, we’re in scale-up mode — solving real operational challenges while looking ahead to future M&A. The Role: We’re hiring a high-capacity, execution-first operator to work directly with the CEO and COO across the most critical areas of the business — starting with getting our installation division firing on all cylinders (permitting, scheduling, backlog, customer comms).

Just smart, motivated people building a durable business Comp & Details: - Full-time, based in the Bay Area (Seaside or East Bay) - Competitive salary + performance-based upside - Expect to spend time both in the office and in the field - Company vehicle provided To Apply: Send your resume or LinkedIn to redacted and redacted Include 3 bullets on: - Something you’ve built or fixed, or elaborate on your mechanical/technical/electrical aptitude. - What you want to learn, accomplish, where you'll want to end up. - Why you’ll crush this role.
