• Interpret technical manuals, service bulletins, and engineering documentation to resolve equipment issues.
• Work in healthcare environments, including areas where biohazardous materials may be present, while adhering to customer site requirements, safety standards, patient confidentiality policies, company procedures, and required personal protective equipment (PPE).

What You Will Need

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel frequently within the assigned territory, including overnight and weekend travel as needed, as well as occasional travel outside the territory to support business needs and coverage requirements.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
• Ability to meet healthcare facility credentialing, compliance, safety, and access requirements, which may include vaccinations, training, screening requirements, and personal protective equipment (PPE), with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Ability to perform the essential physical requirements of the role, with or without reasonable accommodation, including standing, walking, bending, and working at customer sites for extended periods; regularly moving up to 20 pounds; and occasionally lifting up to 75 pounds.

Preferred Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of technical service, equipment repair, maintenance, or related experience.
• Associate degree, bachelor's degree, or formal technical training in a technical discipline.
• Experience with biomedical equipment maintenance, repair, installation, or field service support.
