    • Install machines and accessories at customer sites, including all necessary assembly, leveling, aligning, adjusting, calibrating, wiring, and commissioning of machines and accessories.
    • Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, electrical, software and other equipment.
    • Provide training to customers on functions and proper use of equipment and accessories.
    • Visit existing customers to ensure they are satisfied with machine tools after installation.

Our ideal candidate:
  • You have demonstrated experience in troubleshooting and repairing various systems including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, controls, and network systems.

  • You are able to precisely read and follow blueprints and electrical schematics.
  • You maintain a positive, professional attitude along with the ability to communicate in a professional manner with both technical and non-technical individuals.
