About The Position

At Burwell Material Handling, we’re all about people — our team, our customers, and the communities we serve. Every employee, every connection, and every customer relationship helped shape who we are today. We’ve built our reputation by delivering reliable equipment solutions, automation systems, and industrial sales and rentals with a personal touch—and we’re proud of the team that makes it all happen. We’re growing, and we’re looking for forward-thinking, motivated teammates who want to help build something meaningful—where your contributions count, and your voice is heard. About the Role: As a Field Service Technician with Burwell, you’ll be on the road each day, clocking in from your company-provided service vehicle and heading to customer sites across Mobile, AL and surrounding territories.
