- SpaceX is seeking a Plant Technician to support day-to-day operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting at our power generation facility. This is a hands-on role: you will inspect running equipment, respond to issues as they come up, restore systems, and keep generation and balance-of-plant online. You will work across mechanical, electrical, and controls equipment — pumps, piping, chillers, cooling towers, HVAC, generators, motors, water systems, UPS, switchgear, and plant control systems — following procedures and engineering direction in a fast-paced environment.
- Provide operational and maintenance support for plant mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and process systems, including pumps, piping, chillers, cooling towers, HVAC, generators, motors, water systems, UPS, switchgear, and related balance-of-plant equipment
- Perform daily inspections of critical systems, identify issues early, and self-report problems before they affect generation
- Troubleshoot and repair operational issues found during normal plant operation, start-up, outages, or commissioning
- Adjust, repair, or replace faulty mechanical, electrical, and controls components
- Assist with maintenance and troubleshooting of plant control systems, including PLC, HMI, SCADA, and related industrial controls for generation, cooling, power distribution, and safety
- Support HMI/interface monitoring and help maintain automated controls for fire protection and emergency shutdown
- Write, follow, and execute MOPs, SOPs, and EOPs; support lockout/tagout, hot work, confined space, and site safety and environmental requirements
- Identify and maintain spare parts inventory to minimize downtime
- Coordinate and support scheduled system shutdowns, outages, and utility events as directed
- Support commissioning by witnessing equipment start-up, assisting with functional testing, and monitoring construction and turnover progress
- Read and interpret P&IDs, schematics, data sheets/manuals, drawings, and equipment documentation
- Coordinate with operations, maintenance, and engineering to restore equipment and keep the plant running
