As a Field Service Technician on our Service team, you will be the primary interface with customers after projects are complete.

You bring ownership to customer‑site work from start to finish. You’ll communicate directly with customers, coordinate with PAR team members, subcontractors, and site personnel, and help keep installations and service work moving forward. Just as important, you’ll close the loop by documenting the work performed, completing required reports and paperwork, and making sure customers understand the condition of their equipment and recommended next steps.
