Description

We are Proud to be SJE!

At SJE, we are more than a company — we are a family of brands with a shared vision and mission to provide industry-leading, innovative, and reliable control and monitoring solutions that improve efficiencies, protect the environment, and deliver dependable solutions to our valued customers. We are looking for a Field Service Technician to support our Primex brand. This role will work out of our Plymouth, MN location.

The job:

You will travel approximately 80% - 90% of the time, including overnight travel, with most trips lasting less than one week and home on weekends.

Before systems leave our facility, you will help test control panels and systems to verify proper operation and identify potential issues prior to shipment.

• Working directly with customers, engineers, contractors, and other project stakeholders.
• Providing strong customer service and communicating technical information clearly and professionally.
• Working independently in the field while coordinating with internal technical and project teams.
