Position Summary

Quest International is seeking a hands-on Field Service Technician to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair electro-mechanical equipment at hospitals, laboratories, industrial facilities, and other customer locations throughout the Washington, D.C. area and assigned territories.

This is a travel-intensive field-service position, not a remote IT-support or help-desk position. The technician must be comfortable working independently, traveling to customer sites, communicating professionally, and completing accurate service documentation.

This is a temp-to-hire opportunity. Conversion to regular employment is not guaranteed and depends on performance, attendance, business needs, customer requirements, and successful completion of applicable employment requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Install, inspect, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair electro-mechanical equipment using approved service procedures and diagnostic tools.
• Diagnose and replace FRUs, modules, circuit boards, power supplies, sensors, motors, wiring, cables, connectors, harnesses, and mechanical assemblies.
• Read and follow service manuals, diagrams, SOPs, safety requirements, and customer-site procedures.
• Verify equipment operation after service, escalated unresolved problems, and complete accurate service reports, work orders, test results, photographs, and parts records.
• Coordinate customer appointments, travel, tools, parts, documentation, and changing assignments while communicating professionally with customers and Quest teams.

Required Qualifications

• At least one year of professional hands-on experience in field service, equipment repair, industrial maintenance, electronics, automotive diagnostics, appliance repair, medical equipment, or another electro-mechanical role.
• Demonstrated experience installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, or repairing electro-mechanical equipment, including professional use of a digital multimeter.
• Ability to read technical manuals, diagrams, service procedures, and safety instructions and to use required Windows and basic networking tools.
• Valid driver’s license, reliable personal vehicle available for customer-site travel, and ability to meet Quest’s work-related automobile-insurance requirements.
• Ability to travel up to 80%, perform essential field duties—including lifting up to 50 pounds—with or without reasonable accommodation, and complete the post-offer Human Performance Test.

Windows and Networking Requirements

• Use Windows 10 and Windows 11, including file, folder, device, and application management.
• Use Task Manager, Event Viewer, Command Prompt, or PowerShell during equipment diagnosis.
• Use ping, ipconfig, and tracert to identify basic connectivity problems.
• Configure or verify static IP, DHCP, subnet, gateway, DNS, and network-adapter settings.
• Use Remote Desktop or approved support tools and manage electronic reports, photographs, manuals, and diagnostic files.

Preferred Experience

• Medical, diagnostic, laboratory, industrial, professional A/V, optical, manufacturing, or OEM equipment service.
• BMET, electronics, electrical, automotive, aviation, robotics, mechatronics, or military technical training.
• Experience using oscilloscopes, power supplies, cable testers, pressure meters, vacuum meters, or comparable diagnostic equipment.
• Experience working independently at customer locations and traveling across a multi-state service territory.
• Experience servicing equipment within a regulated, safety-sensitive, or quality-controlled environment.

Benefit programs may include medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life insurance, and supplemental insurance options. Eligibility and effective dates depend on employment status and applicable plan terms. Temp-to-hire status does not guarantee conversion or eligibility for every benefit program.

Quest International is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are based on job-related qualifications, demonstrated experience, business requirements, and the ability to perform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation.
