• This position requires some travel and compliance with customer site requirements including a clean driving record, routine drug testing and physicals, and occasional wearing of breathing equipment and other protective equipment that may require minimal facial hair or other accommodations
• Communication: Effectively communicate technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences, including customers, field personnel, and internal engineering/manufacturing teams through clear written reports and verbal updates
• Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and service teams to troubleshoot issues, share insights, and drive continuous improvement in equipment performance and reliability
• Ownership & Work Ethic: Demonstrate a strong sense of accountability, urgency, and prioritization—balancing field service demands, project timelines, and customer needs in a fast-paced environment
• Technical & Analytical Aptitude: Apply engineering principles in real-world scenarios, with strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve complex equipment and system issues involving both mechanical and electro-mechanical components
• This is a full-time, in person position.
