Job description

Start a hands-on career where your work actually matters.

Quality Conveyor Solutions (QCS) is one of the largest conveyor service providers on the East Coast. We keep critical operations running across industries like mining, aggregates, power, and manufacturing—and we’re looking for motivated individuals to join our field service team. If you’re mechanically inclined, willing to learn, and not afraid of physical work, this is an opportunity to build a long-term career in a high-demand trade.

This is a travel-intensive role requiring at least 50% travel, including overnight stays and varying schedules based on customer and project needs.

What You’ll Do

• Use hand tools, power tools, and specialized equipment
• Support both field service work and occasional shop/warehouse tasks
• Follow all OSHA/MSHA and company safety standards
• Communicate clearly with team members and supervisors
  
  

What The Job Is Really Like

• Work takes place in various industrial environments (plants, mines, construction sites), which may include exposure to temperature extremes, humidity, moving mechanical parts, risk of electrical shock, toxic chemicals, airborne particles, and fumes from adhesives, solvents, and paints.
• You’ll be working physically—lifting, climbing, and being on your feet. You may be asked to safely lift 75-100 pounds frequently, using proper lifting techniques.
• Travel required 50%+, including overnight travel and multi-day jobs
• Schedules can vary, including days, nights, weekends, and on-call work
• Safety is non-negotiable—PPE and procedures are strictly followed, including hard hat, hearing protection, safety glasses, safety footwear, and as needed, respirator, gloves, and other required protective equipment as required.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Strong work ethic and willingness to learn
• Ability to follow instructions and work as part of a team
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently (50%+ required)
• Welding or fabrication experience is a plus
• Good communication skills
• Valid driver’s license (required upon hire and as a condition of continued employment)
• Ability to pass background check and drug screening
  
  

Why Join QCS

• Clear career path to higher-skilled roles (including splice technician, crew lead, etc.)
• Work with a team that values safety, reliability, and getting the job done right
• Exposure to a wide range of industries and equipment
• Competitive pay + sign-on bonus
• Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO, life insurance)
