Position Summary: As an Equipment Service Technician, you’ll install, inspect, troubleshoot, repair, and maintain automotive collision repair equipment at customer locations throughout your assigned territory. You’ll keep frame measuring and straightening systems, pulling systems, welders, and related equipment running safely, accurately, and efficiently, while serving as a trusted technical resource for the collision repair facilities that depend on them. This role is ideal for a self‑motivated, mechanically inclined technician who enjoys hands‑on problem-solving, takes pride in quality workmanship, and understands the importance of minimizing customer downtime. Manufacturer‑specific experience is preferred but not required — training may be provided to the right candidate with strong mechanical aptitude and a willingness to learn.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities (include, but are not limited to the following):

• Install, service, troubleshoot, and repair Car‑O‑Liner collision repair equipment, including frame measuring and straightening systems, vehicle pulling systems, welders, and related equipment.
• Perform preventative maintenance, equipment inspections, calibration, and operational testing as required.
• Diagnose mechanical, electrical, and electronic issues and recommend effective solutions.
• Travel to automotive collision repair shops and other customer locations throughout the assigned territory.
• Provide equipment demonstrations, basic operator training, and technical guidance to customers.
• Complete service reports, document repairs, track parts usage, and maintain accurate service records.
• Communicate professionally with customers to explain equipment issues, recommended repairs, and maintenance needs.
• Manage service tools, parts inventory, and company equipment responsibly.
• Follow all applicable safety procedures and manufacturer service guidelines.
• Represent the company professionally and maintain strong customer relationships.

Qualifications Required:

• Mechanical, electrical, automotive, or technical troubleshooting experience preferred.
• Experience with the automotive repair industry, frame machines, MIG/MAG welders, resistance spot welders, or measuring systems is a plus, but not required (training provided).
• Ability to read technical manuals, wiring diagrams, and equipment documentation.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent customer service and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage a daily service schedule, and prioritize service calls.
• Valid driver’s license and a driving record acceptable under company policy.
• Willingness to travel locally and regionally, with occasional overnight stays as needed.

Salary: $28 - $38 per hour; depending on experience.

This is a field‑based role. The majority of work is performed on‑site at customer collision repair facilities, which can be noisy and fast paced and require adherence to all safety protocols, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment. The position involves daily driving within the assigned territory, regional travel with occasional overnight stays, and independent management of a service schedule while staying in regular contact with customers and the service team.

Physical Demands:

• Ability to lift, carry, and move tools, parts, and equipment up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to stand, kneel, crouch, bend, reach, and work beneath or around vehicles and equipment for extended periods.
• Ability to drive for extended periods and travel regionally as required.
• Ability to work in a shop environment with exposure to noise, welding operations, dust, and varying temperatures.
• Reasonable accommodations will be made for qualified individuals with disabilities.
