About The Position

Operating under the PartsSource quality management framework, this technician ensures that mission-critical equipment is safe, functional, and compliant with applicable regulatory and accreditation standards. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the performance of scheduled preventive maintenance, corrective repairs, equipment installations, and quality assurance testing; accurate and timely work order documentation; adherence to hospital and departmental policies; and professional collaboration with clinical staff, department managers, and the broader service team.

Requirements

• Technically Skilled & Diagnostically Strong – You troubleshoot systematically and have the hands-on skill to repair complex medical equipment with confidence.
• Detail-Oriented & Documentation Disciplined – You understand that a repair isn’t complete until it’s accurately documented. Your work orders are complete, legible, and filed on time.
