• Provide on-site technical support and customer service
• Interact professionally with customers on-site
• Work independently or lead small crews when needed

What the Job Is Really Like

• Work is performed in heavy industrial environments, which may include exposure to temperature extremes, humidity, moving mechanical parts, risk of electrical shock, toxic chemicals, airborne particles, and fumes from adhesives, solvents, and paints
• You’ll handle physically demanding tasks (lifting, climbing, working at heights). You may be asked to safely lift 75-100 pounds frequently, using proper lifting techniques.
• 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
• Safety is non-negotiable—PPE and procedures are strictly followed, including hard hat, hearing protection, safety glasses, safety footwear, and as needed, respirator, gloves, and other required protective equipment as required.

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)
• Ability to pass background check and drug testing
