About the Job
Peak Energy is looking for a hands-on Facilities Engineering Lead to own facility operations and construction coordination at our battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing facility.
This is a working-lead role responsible for keeping the physical plant — including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life-safety, and process-support systems — safe, compliant, reliable, and operating at the level our production lines depend on.
You’ll be on the floor diagnosing, troubleshooting, maintaining, and supporting installation and repair of facility systems while also managing contractors, capital projects, and facility documentation. As the site scales, you’ll help build and lead a small team of Facilities Technicians.
Responsibilities
- Own the day-to-day operation, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of facility systems, including HVAC and process cooling, electrical distribution, compressed air, plumbing/process piping, and building automation/controls.
- Perform and oversee hands-on installation, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems throughout the facility.
- Keep the building envelope, dock doors, cranes/hoists, and material-handling infrastructure supporting production operations in good working order.
- Build, develop, and lead a team of approximately 1–3 Facilities Technicians as the site scales, including scheduling, mentoring, and supporting ongoing technical development.
