About The Position

Zipline is hiring a Field Support Technician to help keep our Dropbox locations safe, reliable, and ready to serve customers every day. Dropboxes are located at partner sites and are an important part of Zipline’s delivery operation. In this hands-on role, you’ll travel between assigned locations to inspect equipment, complete light maintenance, troubleshoot problems, and make sure each site meets Zipline’s safety and quality standards. You’ll often work independently and interact directly with our partners. We’re looking for someone who communicates well, takes pride in their work, and follows through when something needs attention. You don’t need to know everything on day one, but you should be comfortable working with tools, solving problems, and learning new systems. This is a six-month contract position with the opportunity to be considered for a full-time role based on performance and business needs.
