Company Overview
Maas Energy Works is the leading developer and operator of agricultural waste-to-energy systems in the United States. The Company designs, develops, constructs, and operates biogas renewable energy generation systems, primarily on dairy farms.

The Field Technician I will work closely with Site Managers, senior technicians, contractors, and remote support teams to assist with field activities, troubleshoot issues, and support safe, reliable site performance. This position requires comfort with physical, hands-on work as well as the ability to grow into independent operational responsibilities over time.
