About the Opportunity

A leading, established door systems provider in East-Central Wisconsin is seeking a dependable, mechanically skilled Field Service Technician to join our team in Fond du Lac.

We specialize exclusively in commercial overhead door systems (rolling steel, sectional doors, high-speed fabric doors) and residential garage doors. While previous overhead door experience is a strong plus, we are actively hiring mechanically skilled technicians from adjacent trades—including automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, equipment technicians, and elevator service personnel.

If you have solid mechanical fundamentals, understand how to use hand and power tools, can read a tape measure down to the 1/16\", and know how to work around mechanical spring assemblies and low-voltage control boxes, we will train you on the rest and set you up for success.

What We Offer

• Guaranteed Hourly Pay ($20.00 – $32.00/hr): Reliable hourly compensation based on experience with ample overtime earning potential (no flat-rate hours).
• Professional Vehicle: Fully stocked, modern service truck to take to each project, fuel card, specialty power tools, and rigging equipment provided.
• Full Benefits Package: 401(k) retirement plan with company match, comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, HSA, life insurance, and paid time off (PTO + paid holidays).
• Hands-On Trade Training: Work alongside seasoned lead technicians learning commercial torsion assemblies, commercial operators, and high-speed door controls.
• Clear Career Advancement: Direct advancement track to Senior Lead Technician, Field Supervisor, and Service Management.
• Supportive Culture: High-trust, safety-conscious shop environment with zero micromanagement once you are trained and running your route.

Key Responsibilities

• Service & Installation: Troubleshoot, repair, replace, and install commercial sectional doors, rolling steel doors, high-speed doors, and residential garage doors.
• Operator Wiring & Diagnostics: Wire, test, and troubleshoot low-voltage commercial operators, control panels, 3-button stations, photo-eyes, and safety edges.
• Mechanical Alignment: Accurately measure openings, square and align vertical and horizontal tracks, hang commercial spring assemblies, and set counterbalance tension safely.
• Safe Jobsite Execution: Operate comfortably and safely off ladders, scissor lifts, and boom lifts in commercial facilities, warehouses, and residential garages following OSHA guidelines.
• Customer Communication: Communicate clearly and professionally with commercial facility managers and homeowners regarding completed work, system operations, and safety recommendations.

Qualifications

Mechanical Aptitude (Required):

• Automotive service, dealership repair, or lube/tire technician work
• Industrial maintenance, conveyor repair, or machinery service
• Elevator/escalator maintenance or equipment mechanics
• Core Technical Skills: Comfortable using hand and power tools (impact drivers, angle grinders, hammer drills), accurately reading a tape measure, and understanding basic low-voltage wiring.
• Heights & Physical Demands: Comfortable working at heights on ladders, scissor lifts, and boom lifts; ability to lift 50+ lbs safely on active jobsites.
• Valid Driver’s License: Valid driver’s license with a clean, insurable driving record.
• Bonus (Not Required): Basic stick/MIG welding experience or aerial lift certifications.
