## Job description

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

About This Role: Crusoe Energy is revolutionizing computing by harnessing stranded natural gas to power high-performance computing, creating a more sustainable future. As a Plant Maintenance Technician, you will play a crucial role in maintaining the reliability and uptime of critical manufacturing equipment. You’ll work closely with the Facilities Manager to ensure smooth facility operations and establish a robust preventative maintenance system. You'll be involved in exciting projects, including the integration of equipment into a new production facility, as well as the development of corresponding maintenance procedures. The ideal candidate is a highly skilled plant maintenance technician with a strong understanding of high and low voltage systems, a proactive approach to problem-solving, and a commitment to safety.

Key Responsibilities:

- Troubleshoot Electrical & Mechanical Issues: Diagnose and resolve complex electrical (high and low voltage) and mechanical problems on manufacturing and facility systems to minimize downtime. Troubleshoot CNC machines, PLCs, utility systems (compressed air, potable water, HVAC), and production equipment, escalating advanced automation/control issues when necessary.
- Maintain Electrical & Utility Systems: Oversee the maintenance of power supply lines, electrical distribution systems, motors, generators, switches, control panels, circuit breakers, wiring, sensors, relays, and electronic components.
