Overview

Join a team known for designing and integrating custom automation systems used by manufacturers worldwide. We’re hiring two experienced Field Service Technicians — one specializing in mechanical troubleshooting and the other in electrical/controls (PLC) troubleshooting.

You’ll represent our company in the field, working directly with customers to resolve issues, recommend improvements, and keep their production running strong.

Common Responsibilities (Both Roles):

  • Troubleshoot, repair, and service automated machinery at customer facilities (domestic and international).
  • Diagnose mechanical and/or electrical issues, ensuring minimal downtime.
  • Communicate effectively with customers to resolve service needs and provide technical guidance.
  • Complete detailed service and expense reports and follow up to ensure customer satisfaction.
  • Participate in the on-call rotation and support warranty/non-warranty service requests.

Mechanical Field Service Technician

If you enjoy hands-on mechanical work and thrive on keeping machines running, this role offers a mix of precision troubleshooting and travel.

Key Skills:

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and electrical familiarity.
  • Experience with hand tools, gauges, and measuring devices.
  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical/electrical schematics.
  • Background in tool & die, mechanical systems, or related fields.

💰 Pay: Up to $40/hr

Controls Field Service Technician

For those skilled in automation and PLC troubleshooting, this position focuses on controls, programming, and system integration.

Key Skills:

  • Proficiency with Rockwell PLCs, HMIs, servos, VFDs, and Ethernet/Profibus networks.
  • Ability to make online programming changes and debug equipment using trends and diagnostic tools.
  • Strong understanding of NEC, NFPA 79, and related electrical standards.
  • Experience in both electrical and mechanical troubleshooting within automation systems.

💰 Pay: Up to $45–$50/hr

Travel Bonuses

  • Weekday: $50/day for each overnight stay after working more than 4 hours on-site.
  • Weekend: $150/day (international) or $100/day (domestic, including Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic).
