Job description

Description

We’re hiring a Service & Repair Supervisor to lead our Indianapolis shop — someone who knows pumps, understands how repairs actually get done, and can lead from the floor. This is a hands‑on role managing a small team of mechanics while still working alongside them on rebuilds, troubleshooting, and occasional field service work at customer sites.

*This role is with Fischer Process Industries, a division of Tencarva Machinery Company.

About Fischer & Tencarva

Fischer Process Industries, founded in 1957, is a distributor and service provider of pumps and fluid process equipment, with locations in Loveland/Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Owensboro, KY. Fischer became part of Tencarva in 2022.

Tencarva Machinery is a distributor, engineering and design partner, and OEM‑authorized repair network within the process equipment/flow control market. With 38 locations across 17 states, Tencarva provides end‑to‑end, whole‑system solutions for over 18,000 active customers across many verticals, including industrial, municipal water/wastewater, power generation, oil/gas, mining/aggregates, and automotive. Our service offerings include system analysis and design, applications engineering, custom fabrication of equipment packages, automation & controls, equipment remanufacturing, and thermal hard coatings. tencarva.com

The Role

You’ll be leading the day‑to‑day work in the shop while still turning wrenches alongside your team. This role is heavily involved in teardown, inspection, troubleshooting, rebuilds, and testing of industrial pumps and rotating equipment. You’ll also be responsible for setting the tone on the shop floor — coaching/developing mechanics, keeping work moving, and making sure repairs are done the right way. While the role is primarily shop‑based, there will also be occasional light field service work at customer facilities.

Equipment Typically Includes

• Self‑priming centrifugal pumps
• Mag drive pumps
• Vertical turbine pumps
• Air‑operated diaphragm pumps
• Other rotating equipment including gearboxes, blowers, motors, valves, and mixers

*Gorman‑Rupp is the primary pump line supported by this service center.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Lead and work alongside a small team of mechanics in the repair and rebuild of industrial pumps and rotating equipment
• Perform tear‑downs, inspections, troubleshooting, rebuilds, and testing of pumps and rotating equipment
• Help diagnose equipment failures and determine appropriate repair approach and scope
• Review repair work to help ensure quality, workmanship, and OEM‑standard repairs
• Support and develop less experienced mechanics through day‑to‑day training and oversight
• Assist with field troubleshooting, equipment installation, startup, and light mechanical repair work as needed
• Help maintain shop organization, workflow, and accountability on the floor
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized shop environment
• Coordinate internally with repair coordination and service leadership as needed to keep work moving efficiently

Please note: This is a hands‑on industrial pump repair & rebuild role within an OEM‑authorized service center — not a production, facilities maintenance, or purely administrative supervisor position.

Why Join Fischer/Tencarva

• Day shift, Monday–Friday schedule; occasional evenings or weekends only for customer emergencies
• Long‑term company stability — Tencarva has never had a layoff and does not manage downturns by cutting people
• Stable, steady workload — not seasonal or project‑based
• Primarily shop‑based role with occasional field service work
• Opportunity to lead a small team while still staying hands‑on technically
• Big‑company resources with a small‑shop feel
• Family‑oriented culture that respects life outside of work
• We take pride in doing quality work and standing behind our repairs/remans. While we move with urgency for our customers, we do not run a high‑pressure production shop or sacrifice quality for speed. Expectations are high, but realistic and sustainable.

Benefits include profit sharing via 401(k), paid time off (including 10 holidays), and insurance (including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life).
