About the Role

Field Service Technicians travel roughly three weeks out of every month — living out of hotels and airports, often a full week or more at a stretch away from home. Travel regularly includes weekends, early-morning departures, and last-minute schedule changes.

If your ideal week includes being home most nights, or you need predictable evenings and weekends, this isn't the right fit. If you're looking for a career built around independent travel, hands-on problem solving, and new plants and people every week, keep reading.
