Field Service Technician - Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania

At Burwell Material Handling, we’re all about people — our team, our customers, and the communities we serve. What started as C & B Material Handling has grown into Burwell because of the people behind it. 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.
