Agile Space Industries is a rapidly growing supplier of propulsion hardware and engineering services for the space industry. Headquartered in Durango, Colorado, with expanding operations in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, Agile has achieved more than 40% year-over-year growth for the past three years, and our momentum continues to accelerate.

At Agile, we design, build, and test in-space propulsion systems that give spacecraft the ability to maneuver with precision, reliability, and purpose. Our technologies play a critical role in missions that range from lunar landings and resource utilization to national defense, human exploration, and commercial space transport.

We are seeking bold and driven individuals who thrive in a hands-on, fast-moving environment and want to help write the next chapter of space history as part of a close-knit, innovative team.

Have you ever dreamed of being part of space exploration but didn’t think there was a place for you? The reality is, the future of space isn’t built by engineers alone. It takes teams across operations, facilities, administration, and beyond to make it all possible. We are seeking a skilled and versatile Facilities Maintenance Electrician to join our team at our expanding aerospace facility in Durango, Colorado.

In this hands-on role, you will serve as the primary electrical expert responsible for installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing electrical systems critical to our manufacturing, testing, and office operations. You will also contribute to general facilities maintenance, perform limited general labor tasks, and assist with custodial duties as needed to support a safe, efficient, and compliant work environment during our rapid growth phase. This position is ideal for a journeyman-level electrician who thrives in a dynamic, multi-trade setting and is comfortable wearing multiple hats.
