About The Position

At Trident Industries, our field operations depend on reliable equipment, responsive service, and employees who can work safely and independently in changing field environments. As our security tower workload continues to grow, we are seeking a dependable and mechanically inclined Field Technician to support the transportation, deployment, maintenance, and recovery of solar CCTV trailers.
