• Travel required 50%+, including overnight travel and multi-day jobs
• Schedule includes on-call, overtime, weekends, and emergency breakdown response
• Requires strong attention to safety compliance, precision, and quality workmanship

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3+ years of experience in conveyor belt splicing / vulcanizing
• Strong working knowledge of conveyor systems, belt tracking, and material handling equipment
• Experience with field service, maintenance, or industrial repair work
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently (50%+ required)
• Experience driving trucks and trailers preferred
• Welding, fabrication, or mechanical maintenance experience is a plus
• Strong communication and professionalism with customers and team
• Valid driver’s license (required upon hire as a condition of continued employment)
