Job description

Job Description. own your day. own your future.

You start your morning in Marlborough, MA, review your route within a 3-hour radius, and load up your company vehicle with parts the Service Coordinator reserved. By 7:30 AM, you’re on the road. One customer needs a pre-commissioning check on a rotary screw compressor. Another is counting on you to troubleshoot a Centac unit and dial in a VFD. After lunch, you walk a plant floor with a maintenance lead, using precision tools and your PLC know‑how to isolate a fault. You wrap up by documenting findings on your tablet and coaching an apprentice through a safe shutdown—back at 4:30 PM, ready to do it again tomorrow.
