Technician Apprentice
About The Position
DuraServ is looking for mechanically-minded problem-solvers ready to learn a trade, earn while they grow, and build a career with their hands. DuraServ installs, services, and maintains the commercial dock and door systems that keep warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities running. As a Technician Apprentice, you will be on the job, learning from experienced technicians, getting hands-on with mechanical and electrical systems, and building the skills that define a career in the trades. DuraServ's ADVANCE training program gives you a structured path to grow — and the income keeps coming while you do it.
Requirements
- Mechanically curious — you take things apart to understand them, and you're not satisfied until you know why something works
- Safety-conscious — you follow protocols without cutting corners, because you understand that safety isn't a suggestion on a job site
- A learner — you absorb feedback, apply it, and come back the next day sharper than before
- Physically capable — comfortable with frequent standing, bending, ladder use, and lifting up to 50 pounds regularly
- Reliable and professional — your conduct on the job site represents DuraServ as much as your technical skill
- A team player — you assist lead technicians, adapt to shifting priorities, and pull your weight without being asked
- Valid, current state-issued driver's license — you'll be traveling to customer sites daily
- Ability to meet physical demands: frequent standing, bending, ladder use, and lifting up to 50 pounds regularly
- Willingness to participate in DuraServ's ADVANCE training program
