I think you're trying to say

He waited a week for technicians to install a new generator.

You can put the time period directly after the verb "wait". Then (optionally) follow that with a for ... to ... construction.

I waited five days for the repair man to come and fix the phone.
Fred waited twenty minutes for the waiter to bring the food.
Susan waited a month for the package to arrive.
