About The Position

Airgas is seeking a safety-minded Field Service Technician near Gilberts, Illinois, to install, maintain, repair, and remove bulk storage tanks and beverage carbonation systems at customer sites. Customers include restaurants, bars, and stadiums. This is not a delivery-route driving job: technicians use commercial service vehicles, such as F-550s or box trucks, primarily to travel between service jobs within a 100-mile radius of Gilberts. The work includes installing centralized Microbulk cryogenic tanks, running lines, setting up gas monitors, mounting control boxes, responding to service calls, troubleshooting gas-line or tank issues, inspecting systems, and replacing faulty equipment. The role involves physical tasks such as working on ladders, routing tubing through ceiling tiles, drilling into structures, and maneuvering large stainless steel tanks with specialized hand trucks. Airgas provides the necessary tools, drills, and lines. Technicians work independently and must be self-motivated, trainable, and adaptable to changing daily schedules. Occasional overnight layovers may be scheduled with one to two weeks' notice. Airgas covers hotel, flight, and rental-car costs for such travel. Compensation is $27.50 per hour, with overtime availability. The schedule is Tuesday through Saturday, with an 8:00 a.m. start time.
