CRANE & HOIST SERVICE TECHNICIAN - NATIONWIDE TRAVEL

American Crane & Equipm•Amity Township, PA

4d•$26 - $50•Onsite

About The Position

This is a nationwide traveling field service career for technicians who are comfortable spending significant time away from home. Your home serves as your base, but your workplace is wherever our customers need technical support. One assignment may take you to a manufacturing facility for inspections and repairs; another may involve an extended outage, installation, modernization, or specialized project at an industrial or nuclear facility in another state. This role provides considerable independence and variety, but the tradeoff is travel. If you are looking for a primarily local position with occasional overnight trips, this is not that role. We are hiring Crane & Hoist Service Technicians at two experience levels. Whether you're an experienced crane technician ready to step into a high-autonomy field role, or a skilled industrial tradesperson looking to build a career in crane service, we have a place for you.
