PIRTEK, the nation’s leading provider for on-site hydraulic and industrial hose replacement is hiring for the position of Hose Installation Technician.

Job Description

PIRTEK is looking to hire a Hose Installation Technician to service, assemble and install hoses for a diverse customer’s base such as manufacturing, construction, and rental companies, to name a few. We are looking for applicants with excellent communication and strong customer service skills. If you are mechanically inclined, enjoy meeting and working with customers, PIRTEK could be an excellent career path.

As a PIRTEK Hose Installation Technician, you will be operating out of a PIRTEK Service & Supply Center in a purpose-built mobile hose workshop/van and be carrying out service calls in the local area. This provides the opportunity to develop relationships with new and existing customers.

Successful candidates will be fully trained to operate a purpose-built PIRTEK service truck fitted with specialized equipment designed to fabricate flexible hose assemblies on site.

Replace a hose. Get a plant running again.

When a hydraulic hose fails, everything stops. A production line, an excavator, a loader in the middle of a job. Somebody has to get there fast, build the right assembly on the spot, and get the machine back to work. That is what we do, and that is the job.

What it pays

$23.00 – $30.00 per hour depending on experience. Overtime is regular here, not occasional, and it is paid at time and a half.

• $50 on-call stipend every week you carry the phone, whether or not you get called


• Two-hour minimum on every call-out, plus travel in both directions


• Monthly performance bonus based on the revenue your van generates above target

An experienced technician who works the overtime and hits the bonus should clear $70,000 in a full year.

What you will do

• Respond to service calls at customer sites across central Ohio


• Diagnose the failure and identify the correct replacement assembly


• Measure, cut, crimp, and build hydraulic and industrial hose assemblies on site


• Install, test, and return the customer's equipment to service


• Keep your van stocked, clean, and inspected


• Build relationships with the customers on your route


• Take your turn in the after-hours on-call rotation

Straight talk about the on-call

This is an emergency service business. Hoses fail at night and on weekends, and when they do, someone goes. You will be on call roughly one week in three. You are paid the stipend for carrying the phone even on a quiet week, and every call-out pays a minimum of two hours plus travel, at overtime rates when you are over 40.

You will also be out in the weather year-round, and you will get dirty. That is the job. Some people find that a good deal. Some people do not. We would rather you know now.

What we are looking for

• Mechanically inclined — you like figuring out how things work and fixing them


• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record


• Comfortable talking to customers, because you are the whole company as far as they are concerned


• Self-motivated, because most of the day nobody is watching over your shoulder


• Able to lift 50 pounds and work on your feet


• Willing to carry the on-call phone


• High school diploma or GED

Hydraulic experience is not required. We will train you. If you have wrenched on diesel, fleet, ag, or construction equipment, or worked in industrial maintenance, you already have most of what you need.

What else you get

• Company service van, with take-home available


• PIRTEK certified training — paid, and yours to keep


• Uniforms provided


• Paid time off — one week your first year, two weeks after that — plus six paid holidays


• Health benefit: we put $400 a month, tax-free, toward the health plan you pick — worth more than $400 of wages, because it never gets taxed. You own the plan, so you keep it if you ever leave here. We help you enroll.


• Dental and vision — employer-paid group coverage


• Advancement. Technicians may have opportunity to move into other service management and operations roles. Some PIRTEK technicians have gone on to own franchises.

About us

PIRTEK Marion is locally owned and operated, and we are opening our Delaware service center this fall. You would be one of our first technicians — training starts in October, ahead of opening.

We are backed by a national franchise network, which means real training and real standards without working for a faceless company. The owner answers the phone. We care about doing the job right, telling the truth about what happened, and getting people home safe at the end of the day.
