Remote Pc Repair Jobs in Rochester, NY (NOW HIRING)

NOW HIRING: OVERHEAD CRANE & HOIST SERVICE TECHNICIAN | ALBANY, ROCHESTER, or SYRACUSE, NEW YORK

Field-Based Technician Role | Albany, Rochester, or Syracuse Area Coverage with Regional Travel 

Compensation: Competitive hourly rate up to $45/hour+ based on experience, skills, location, and credentials | Top-performing technicians regularly earn substantially more through overtime, travel pay, premium site incentives, and specialized project work

If you’re a technician who can work independently, troubleshoot complex issues in the field, and take ownership of customer outcomes—this role will feel like a natural fit.

At American Crane & Equipment Corporation (ACECO), we’re looking for experienced Crane & Hoist Service Technicians to support customers throughout the Albany, Rochester, Syracuse region and surrounding areas.

This is a field-based position where technicians are primarily dispatched directly from their local area rather than reporting daily to a branch location. Candidates should be based within or near the Albany, Rochester, or Syracuse New York area and comfortable supporting customer sites throughout the region.

While much of the work is local or regional, this role also includes the expectation of periodic travel assignments. Technicians should be open to supporting projects outside their immediate territory for extended periods when business needs require it. Depending on workload and project demands, travel assignments may total up to approximately 3 months within a 12-month period.

This is not a shop role sitting under constant supervision. This is field service work where you are trusted to diagnose problems, make decisions, and represent ACECO directly with customers.

You won’t be just another tech number here. Strong technicians build real reputations at ACECO.

What This Role Really Is

This is a field-based service role—you’ll spend most of your time traveling to customer sites, diagnosing problems, performing repairs, and being accountable for getting equipment safely back into operation with minimal supervision.

Successful technicians in this role are self-directed, safety-focused, mechanically capable, and comfortable operating independently in industrial environments where uptime and customer responsiveness matter.

Who Thrives Here (and Who Doesn’t)

You’ll do well here if you:

• Take ownership of field work and solve problems without being told what to do
• Are comfortable working independently in customer environments
• Communicate clearly and professionally with customers and internal teams

This role is likely not a fit if you:

• Prefer working in a shop or controlled environment
• Need constant direction or supervision
• Struggle with travel, on-call responsibilities, or customer-facing work

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Learn ACECO service standards, safety expectations, and documentation processes
• Independently complete inspections, maintenance, and basic repairs
• Build trust with customers through professionalism and technical competence
• Accurately document service work and communicate findings
• Begin handling more complex troubleshooting scenarios independently

Why Join Our Team at American Crane? 

• Field Impact – Your work directly affects customer safety and equipment uptime
• Autonomy – Work independently with strong internal support
• Technical Growth – Work on complex industrial and nuclear lifting equipment that many technicians never get exposure to

Customer Site Access Requirements

Technicians in this role must be able to obtain and maintain customer-required unescorted access authorization and comply with all customer security, fitness-for-duty, and access authorization requirements throughout their employment.

Because access requirements are established by our customers and applicable regulatory authorities, additional screening may be required before or during employment. Depending on the customer and work assignment, this may include:

• Criminal background investigations
• Credit history reviews
• Employment verification
• Motor vehicle record reviews
• Drug and alcohol testing
• Fitness-for-duty evaluations
• Customer-specific training, badging, and credentialing

Customer access determinations are made solely by the customer or applicable regulatory authority and are outside the control of American Crane & Equipment Corporation.
