Location: Mauldin, SC – Field-Based (25% travel)

Salary: $70,000–$85,000, depending on experience

Hours: Full-time, salaried – maximum 40 hours per week

Are you an experienced Field Service Technician or Field Service Engineer who enjoys being hands-on but wants to move away from excessive travel, long hours and relying on overtime to achieve a strong salary?

We’re recruiting for an excellent opportunity with a growing specialist equipment manufacturer based in Mauldin, South Carolina.

This position offers a guaranteed $70,000–$85,000 base salary with a maximum 40-hour working week. There is no overtime pay; however, the role has been structured around a maximum 40-hour week, offering considerably more predictability than many traditional Field Service positions.

The Role

You’ll install, maintain, troubleshoot and repair sophisticated laboratory and materials-testing equipment at customer sites, while providing a high level of technical support and customer service.

Key responsibilities include:

• Installing and commissioning new equipment

• Diagnosing mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and software faults

• Working with 208V/480V three-phase electrical systems

• Preventive maintenance and calibration

• Reading electrical schematics and hydraulic/pneumatic diagrams

• Installing and configuring Windows-based instrument software

• Training customers on equipment operation and maintenance

• Producing technical service reports

• Recommending repairs, upgrades and spare parts

• Managing your own workload and customer schedule

What We’re Looking For

Ideally, you’ll have Field Service experience with laboratory equipment, scientific instruments, materials-testing equipment, CNC/machine tools, industrial machinery or similar electromechanical equipment.

Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills are important, together with the ability to work independently and professionally at customer sites.

PLC/HMI, metallography, hardness testing or materials-testing experience would be advantageous but isn’t essential.

What’s On Offer

• $70,000–$85,000 guaranteed base salary

• Maximum 40-hour working week

• Predominantly local field service travel

• Medical, dental and vision insurance

• 401(k)

• PTO and paid holidays

• Company vehicle or vehicle allowance

• Business travel expenses covered within company limits

• International factory training during your first year

• Excellent long-term career progression within a growing US operation

This is a particularly attractive opportunity for an experienced Service Engineer who still enjoys the technical and customer-facing aspects of field service but wants better control over their working hours and significantly less time spent traveling.
