Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 540,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called GigaOne. Our mission is to build the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure — built to unite people and communities through resilient, secure, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid. Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.

As the Facilities Maintenance Lead at Torus, you will serve as the mechanical and operational backbone of our physical environment. In this highly dynamic role, you will be a proactive, high-energy problem solver responsible for a wide spectrum of technical trades—ranging from precise interior finishes and vendor coordination to the complex commissioning of industrial machinery, conveyor systems, and high-pressure pneumatic airlines. Your work has a direct, measurable impact on the business; by optimizing material storage, preventing operational downtime, and executing flawless equipment installations, you act as a critical force multiplier that enables our production capabilities to scale safely and efficiently. This position is a vital launchpad for a deeply motivated, growth-minded professional who wants to take true ownership of a world-class facility and actively grow alongside our rapidly evolving mission.

You are a versatile, multi-talented professional who takes deep ownership of your work, comfortably pivoting from precise cosmetic repairs to complex mechanical troubleshooting and high-pressure pneumatic installations. Driven by a strong internal motor and a genuine desire to learn, you don’t wait for things to break; you proactively identify facility needs and execute solutions with high energy and urgency. You are a clear communicator who can easily interpret complex English technical manuals and seamlessly collaborate with anyone—whether directing third-party vendors or coordinating with heavy-equipment riggers. Ultimately, you aren't just looking for a job; you are a growth-minded problem solver eager to make a tangible impact and build a long-term career alongside our rapidly evolving team.
