Job Requirements

• Education: High School Diploma or equivalent; a degree from a Technical/Vocational school in a mechanical or electrical field is highly preferred.
• Experience: 1+ years of experience in a mechanical or electrical trade or apprenticeship. Basic knowledge of industrial machinery (compressors, motors) is a must.
• Road Warrior Mentality: You must be willing and able to travel up to 80% of the time, including international assignments.
• Physical Agility: Ability to climb ladders/scaffolding, work in confined spaces, and stand for extended periods. You must be comfortable with the physical demands of a plant environment.
• Tech Savvy: Proficient in Windows, MS Office (Word/Excel), and quick to learn specialized installation and configuration software.
• Communication: Fluent in English with the ability to communicate technical value to clients clearly and professionally.

Core Skills

• Autonomy: You can work independently and manage your schedule effectively in the field.
• Meticulous Detail: You take pride in “neat” installations and accurate data entry.
• Problem Solving: You enjoy the challenge of diagnosing a network or mechanical issue on the fly.
• Growth Mindset: A desire to learn vibration analysis and contribute to process improvements.
