  • Commission & Optimize: Set up and commission brand-new, high-value industrial machinery at client sites.
  • Troubleshoot & Diagnose: Identify mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic issues on-site and execute precise corrective actions.
  • Train & Supervise: Occasionally lead and train client personnel-ranging from floor laborers to corporate executives-on equipment operation.
  • Document & Report: Maintain accurate Field Service Reports for client invoicing and managing timely expense reports.

What They're Looking For
