ERock’s proprietary natural gas generators help critical facilities address grid constraints, interconnection delays, and outage risks while accelerating speed-to-power for new and expanding operations. Trusted by data centers, utilities, manufacturers, healthcare systems and government organizations, ERock engineers for rapid deployment, long-duration reliability, low local emissions, and scalable performance to meet the evolving energy demands of today and tomorrow.

Role Overview:

The Plant Manager is the senior on-site leader responsible for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of a large natural gas–powered prime power microgrid serving a customer facility. This role has full accountability for site operations, maintenance execution, safety performance, workforce leadership, and customer interface.

This position is intentionally designed as a single-site, fixed-location leadership role with end-to-end ownership of site outcomes. The Plant Manager sets operational standards, establishes rhythm and discipline across shifts, and ensures the site consistently meets uptime, availability, production, emissions, and safety targets.

In addition to internal leadership responsibilities, the Plant Manager serves as the primary interface with the customer at the site, ensuring transparency, trust, and alignment on operational performance. The role also carries community engagement responsibilities, including building local recruiting pipelines, developing vendor relationships, and representing ERock as a long-term partner in the region.

This is a management and leadership role. While the Plant Manager is expected to maintain strong technical understanding and operational credibility, day-to-day hands-on maintenance execution is not a primary responsibility. This role reports directly to the Prime Power Head.
