Description:
The Role
Blue Peak Tents is hiring a Lead Equipment Technician (LET) to be the go-to technical authority for our event equipment - HVAC, generators, restroom trailers, lighting, flooring, and climate control. This is a hands-on, build-it role: you\'ll maintain fleet readiness, develop field-ready SOPs, and serve as the primary Saturday point of contact for technical issues.
Early on, you\'ll spend ~50% of your time in the field learning the business firsthand. Over time, the focus shifts to building systems, training others, and reducing reactive calls on senior leadership.
Compensation & Benefits
$30.00-$38.00/hr depending on experience and qualifications
CDL Class A upgrade sponsorship (paid by Blue Peak - a real retention investment)
Off-season training & certification: HVAC, power systems, industry courses
Overtime available during peak season (May-October)
Full-time, year-round employment with consistent hours
Growth path into technical team leadership as the operation scales
Why Blue Peak
Blue Peak Tents serves high-profile clients across the Midwest and nationally. We\'re investing in a best-in-class fleet operation - and this role is central to that vision. You won\'t be maintaining someone else\'s system; you\'ll be building one from the ground up.
For the right person, this role has a clear growth trajectory into technical team leadership. If you take pride in making things work, building systems that outlast you, and being the person others rely on when it matters most - this is your role.
