The Role

As Sr. Utility Engineer, you'll take ownership of the utility systems that keep this state-of-the-art gigafactory running. From compressed air and steam to HVAC and electrical systems, your work ensures stability, safety, and scalability. More than a technical role, this is a leadership position—one that requires both deep engineering expertise and the ability to mentor, problem-solve, and drive continuous improvement across a complex facility.

With a team to lead, systems to optimize, and a growing site to support, this is your chance to make an outsized impact in one of North America's most ambitious clean energy projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the operation, maintenance, and performance optimization of all critical utility systems: electrical, water, gas, steam, compressed air, and HVAC.
• Design and manage preventive maintenance programs; issue and manage service contracts to support production reliability.
• Act as technical lead on capacity planning, utility system upgrades, and infrastructure expansion projects.
• Oversee vendors and contractors for building repairs, modifications, and new construction.
• Manage work orders, tools, materials, and documentation across all facility systems.
• Troubleshoot and respond to utility-related emergencies to protect production uptime.
• Serve as the main point of contact for utility coordination with production departments.
• Coach, train, and develop utility technicians and junior engineers.
• Maintain a clean and safe work environment aligned with 5S3R workplace principles.

Essential Requirements

• 7+ years of facilities or utilities experience in a production/manufacturing environment.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Engineering or a closely related technical field.
• Proven ability to manage infrastructure in a high-stakes production setting.
• Physically capable of working in PPE for up to 12 hours and performing manual tasks (lifting, bending, reaching, etc.).
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and general facility operations software.
