Job Summary
Our Dock & Door Technicians a.k.a. "Service Professionals" are the core of our preventative and emergency response services for our customers.

Service Professionals are on the road, troubleshooting complex issues in places like commercial buildings, aircraft hangers, schools, fire/police departments, and much more.

1. Do I enjoy variety and complexity?
2. Does the idea of autonomy and independence excite me?
3. Can I have fun, while keeping it safe and efficient?
4. Am I looking for a career family and not just a job?
5. Would my friends and family describe me as a "tinkerer"?
