• Experience with brands such as Rytec, Assa Abloy, Overhead Door, Amarr, Clopay, LiftMaster, Chamberlain, BEA, or similar preferred
• Ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams and perform basic electrical troubleshooting

• Ability to work independently, manage a route, and communicate with customers
• Comfortable working at heights, in varying weather conditions, and in industrial/warehouse environments
• IDEA or DHI certification a plus but not required

What You'll Get

• Company-provided service truck with paid gas
• Company-issued phone and tablet
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage — coverage starts the first of the month after 30 days of employment
