Energy & Infrastructure
Power generation and energy recruiters.
Generator sets, turbines, switchgear, controls, standby and emergency power, field service.
MasterTech is a Skilled Trades recruitment agency that places power generation technicians with generator dealers, power plants and energy contractors across the US and Canada. We recruit generator set technicians, turbine technicians, switchgear and controls specialists and field service staff on a direct-hire basis. We work on contingency: no up-front fees, and you are invoiced only after your new hire starts.
The industry
How we recruit power generation talent
Standby power only earns its keep on the day it is needed, which is why the people who maintain it get hired on judgement rather than on a certificate list. A technician who can commission a set, chase a controls fault and talk to the customer is rare, and the dealers who have one are not letting go.
We recruit on the equipment and the controls platform, not the job title. Tell us the engine, the switchgear and whether the work is shop, field or plant based, and the shortlist matches the call-out you actually run.
If you need licensed electricians for a power plant, a substation or a data center rather than technicians for the generating equipment itself, our electrical recruiters run that search.
