Field Technician (1 Hour Weekly Cleaning and Data Collection)

About this position

Get Paid to Drive Your Route. Work When It Works for You.

Field Technician - FreshPure Water Machines

If you like working independently, hate being stuck at a desk, and want a consistent route you can count on - this might be exactly what you're looking for.

NWS operates water vending machines in retail stores across the country. We're building a team of Field Technicians in Park Ridge, IL to keep those machines clean, stocked, and running right. It's straightforward work, it pays well, and you're in charge of your own time.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Clean and disinfect the FreshPure machine inside and out
• Take meter readings and log the data on your service report
• Snap photos of the machine condition at every visit
• Submit your completed report to the home office when you're done
• Call in anything that looks off - damage, mechanical issues, anything unusual

That's it. Each stop takes about an hour. Your total hours per week depend on how many stores are on your route.

What Makes This Different from Other Gig Work

• Consistent, scheduled route - not random job pickups
• Same stores every week, so you know exactly where you're going
• $27/hr all-in - your mileage and travel are already baked into the rate
• Supplies provided - we give you everything you need to do the job
• Real support - a home office contact you can actually reach

You're not expected to fix anything. If a machine has a mechanical or technical issue, you flag it and we send a Service Technician. Your job is to keep things clean, documented, and reported - that's where your value is.

What You Need to Get Started

• A reliable vehicle and a valid driver's license
• A smartphone with a camera for photo submissions
• Attention to detail - you follow the checklist, every time
• You show up when you're scheduled. That's the most important thing.

No experience in water systems required. If you've done field services, retail merchandising, delivery routes, janitorial work, or anything similar - you'll hit the ground running.

Who Thrives in This Role

• Self-starters who don't need someone looking over their shoulder
• Detail-oriented - you notice things other people miss
• Reliable - your stores count on you showing up
• Good communicators - you keep the home office in the loop
