About The Position

Airgas is seeking a safety-minded Field Service Technician near Gilberts, Illinois.

Technicians work independently, respond to service needs, and may travel outside their local area, including occasional overnight stays scheduled with 1–2 weeks’ notice. Airgas covers hotel, flight, and rental car costs for these layovers. The schedule is Tuesday through Saturday with an 8:00 AM start time. Compensation is $27.50 per hour, with overtime available. Airgas provides the necessary tools, drills, and lines.
