PIRTEK Hydraulic Hose Technician

Hose failure, you are the first call with PIRTEK.

Somewhere right now, a crane is frozen mid-lift. A garbage truck is leaking fluid in a parking lot. A factory line has gone quiet, and every minute costs someone money.

PIRTEK is who they call, and we promise to be there in about an hour, 24/7/365. As the nation's leading provider of on-site hydraulic and industrial hose replacement, we don't make customers haul equipment to a shop. We roll up in a workshop on wheels and fix it on the spot.

We're hiring a Hydraulic Hose Service & Sales Technician to be the hero in that story. No hose experience? Good news: we'll teach you. What we can't teach is grit, and that's what we're looking for.

Your paycheck grows when you do

This isn't a punch-the-clock job with a fixed ceiling. Every service call is a chance to build relationships, and every relationship is a chance to earn more. Our Technicians earn a competitive base plus real bonus potential:

• Competitive base pay: $19.00–$22.00 per hour, based on experience
• Sales & performance bonuses: earn more when you grow your customer base and hit service targets, up to 4% per month of your total sales
• On-call pay: get paid for being ready when the emergency calls come in
• Customer growth rewards: turn a one-time repair into a repeat account and share in the upside

The more problems you solve and the more customers you win, the more you take home. Top performers have a high revenue potential.

What you'll actually do

Your office is a purpose-built mobile service unit: a workshop van loaded with every tool and machine you need. Your territory is your turf. One day it's a construction site, the next it's a marine yard or a manufacturing plant. Expect noise, weather, and plenty of oil and grease.

On any given day, you'll:

• Roll out on service calls and sales visits across your local territory
• Diagnose failing hoses and assemblies, then remove, fabricate, and install the replacement on-site
• Clean up and contain any oil spills to the customer's satisfaction and to federal, state, and local regulations
• Log service details in our online system so invoices are accurate
• Build relationships with new customers and keep existing ones coming back
• Follow up to make sure every customer is satisfied, and solve issues before you leave
• Keep your van, tools, and equipment in top shape
• Take your turn in the rotating on-call schedule (yes, it pays)
• Follow every PIRTEK and industry safety standard, every time
• Pitch in on other related duties as needed

Is this you?

You might be a great fit if you're the person friends call when something breaks. You'd rather get your hands dirty than sit at a desk. You like figuring things out on your own, and you can talk to a customer as easily as you can work a wrench.

Our best Technicians are natural problem solvers, mechanically inclined, and stubborn in the best way. They don't quit on a tough job.

What you'll need:

• High school diploma or GED
• Valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and the ability to safely drive a large work van
• Ability to read, write, and communicate clearly in English
• Comfort with hand tools and specialized equipment
• Your own hand tools and comfort with working on specialized equipment
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and to sit, stand, kneel, bend, or stoop for long stretches
• Ability to safely use ladders, step-ups, and stairs
• Confidence handling customer questions and objections to close a sale
• A positive attitude on hard days, whether working solo or with the team

Nice to have: experience in construction, industrial work, or automotive, marine, or field mechanics.

We've got your back

You won't be thrown in the deep end. Training is offered at the franchise owner's discretion and covers industry knowledge, PIRTEK processes, safety standards, and how to run your mobile service unit. If training means travel, we cover the cost.

Out in the field and facing something strange? Our 24/7 expert hotline is a phone call away, any hour of the day.

• People: we build trust and respect
• Integrity: we play fair, always
