Job description

Field Installation Technician

Department: Field Technician

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Nationwide

Compensation: $60,000 - $90,000 / year

Description

SKILLBRIDGE to FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

NATIONWIDE Opportunity- Must live near a Major Airport

Travel ~75%, most weekends home- START ASAP!

Travel to manufacturing plants around the country installing and servicing safety systems on press brakes and other metalworking machines.

It's real hands-on trade work - half electrical (wiring safety controllers, multimeter diagnostics, reading schematics), half mechanical (drilling, tapping, mounting brackets).

Trips typically run Monday-Thursday or Friday with most weekends home, in 3-4 week stretches followed by a full week off; between trips you'll build interface kits and prep upcoming jobs.

Key Responsibilities

You'll train side-by-side with our senior technicians and won't run jobs solo until you and the team both feel you're ready - and there's a deep backlog of booked work waiting.

• Install Lazer Safe camera-based safety systems - brackets, wiring, controller setup, calibration, testing
• Install machine guarding - rear guards, perimeter fencing, scissor gates, interlocks
• Train operators after each install and handle service and recertification visits
• Troubleshoot on-site with senior techs a phone call away

WHO DOES WELL HERE

• You're handy - comfortable with drills, taps, and metal; you can read a wiring diagram and work a multimeter
• You like a puzzle - every machine is different, and installs rarely go exactly to plan. Curiosity and stick-with-it matter here.
• You're dependable working solo - after ramp-up, you're the face of the company on site
• Veterans and military technical backgrounds are a great fit - and strongly encouraged
• No degree needed. Aptitude and work ethic are what count.

Benefits

• $60,000-$65,000 base salary
• Per diem daily - what you don't spend, you keep
• Year-end bonus (typically $5-10K)
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Travel on the company card - $0 out of pocket
• Target all-in comp: $85-90K/year
