About PIRTEK Stockton

PIRTEK is the nation’s leading provider of on‑site hydraulic and industrial hose assembly and replacement, operating 24/7/365 with a 1‑hour emergency response promise. When a machine goes down on a job site, farm, or factory floor, PIRTEK is the call that gets it running again.

PIRTEK Stockton is a locally owned and operated franchise serving the Central Valley — one of the most industrially and agriculturally active regions in California. We are early in our story here, which means the person who joins us now helps shape what this business becomes.

• People — We invest in each other. Your growth is part of our growth.
• Integrity — We do what we say. Always.
• Real — No corporate fluff — just honest, straight communication.
• Teamwork — The shop and the field work as one.
• Excellence — Good enough isn’t good enough.
• Kaizen — We’re always improving — and we want people who love to grow.

Shop Technician (PIRTEK Stockton)

As our Shop Technician, you’ll be the beating heart of the service center. One hour you’re fabricating a hose assembly for an urgent customer; the next you’re managing inventory, coordinating with field technicians, or handling daily operations that keep the entire machine running smoothly.

We’re not just hiring a shop tech; we’re looking for someone who wants to grow into the operational backbone of this business. If you have sharp instincts, love learning how things work—both mechanical and organizational—and want a front‑row seat to building something from the ground up, this is your opportunity.

What You’ll Be Doing

On the Technical Side

• Maintain shop tools, equipment, and the fabrication workspace.
• Adhere to all PIRTEK and industry safety standards—non‑negotiable.

On the Operations Side

• Manage shop inventory—track stock levels, place orders, receive and organize incoming parts.
• Coordinate and dispatch field technicians (MSSTs) as service calls come in.
• Handle customer communications—phone, email, and in‑person with professionalism.
• Process service records, invoices, and other administrative tasks through our systems.
• Support the owner with reporting, scheduling, and general business operations.
• Identify process improvements—if something can run better, we want to hear it.

What You Bring To The Table

• Mechanically inclined—comfortable with tools and curious about how things work.
• Organized by nature—notice when things are out of order and take action.
• Great communicator—clear, friendly, and professional with customers and colleagues.
• Quick learner who takes initiative—don’t wait to be told twice.
• Comfortable with computers and basic software—data entry, email, inventory systems.
• Reliable and consistent—show up ready to go.
• Positive attitude—especially on the days that don’t go perfectly.

Sound Like You?

This role is for someone who wants more than a job. You will be learning constantly—hydraulics, operations, customer service, logistics. You’ll be trusted with real responsibility early, and if you prove yourself, the door to Operations Manager isn’t just open—it’s the plan.
