Shop & Fleet Maintenance / Facilities Technician

We are an Electrical, Sign and Lighting Contractor.

Location: Livermore, CA (must live nearby)

Schedule: Part-time
Pay: $25–$35/hour DOE + performance-based incentive pay for billable field work

### About the Role

We’re looking for a rare “utility player” — someone who’s hands-on and mechanically inclined, but also meticulous, organized, and great at recordkeeping. This is a blended position that supports our shop, warehouse, vehicles, equipment, and facilities, and occasionally assists field crews during slower shop periods.

This is a role for someone who stays busy without being asked, takes pride in clean and organized spaces, and enjoys solving problems. There is hardly a limit to the amount of meaningful work we can give to a long-term, reliable employee whom we can invest in.

### Must Live Near Livermore (Important)

This position includes responding to shop emergencies on short notice. You must live close enough to get to our Livermore shop quickly when needed.
