• Ensure all repairs are completed safely, efficiently, and to OEM standards

Customer Interaction & On-site Support

• Act as the primary company representative on customer sites
• Communicate technical issues clearly to operators, site managers, and decision-makers
• Explain repair needs, risks, and benefits in plain business terms (downtime, cost, reliability)
• Build trust-based, long-term customer relationships through professional service delivery

Service Sales & Commercial Responsibilities

• Identify and actively sell repair, overhaul, and preventative maintenance work
• Prepare and present clear, professional service quotes directly to customers
• Recommend additional services, parts, or upgrades based on machine condition and usage
• Follow up on quotes to secure customer approval and close service opportunities
• Operate effectively in an incentivized, performance-based compensation model

Travel

Extensive travel to customer locations is required, with some overnight travel (up to 80%).

• Repair fuel, air, cooling, lubrication, and exhaust systems
• Interpret engine fault codes and service manuals
• Familiarity with Tier 3/Tier 4 engines, sensors, ECUs, and basic emission components
• Ability to sell the repair and confidently explain to customers what failed, why it failed, and what happens if it's not repaired
• Translate technical issues into business impact (downtime, fuel consumption, reliability, safety risk)
• Ability to build clear, professional quotes on iPad/laptop
• Propose preventative actions, not just corrective repairs
• Recognize opportunities for engine overhauls, compressor builds, service kits, upgrades or accessories
• Comfortable being incentivized on sales results
• Technical service experience maintaining and repairing compressed air equipment, generators, or equivalent
• Forklift certification is required (company support available if needed)
