About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on Machine Builder & Field Service Technician with strong electrical skills to join a growing industrial machinery team. This role focuses on wiring panels, assembling electrical components, and troubleshooting high-voltage systems (up to 480V).

Must-Have Skills

• Minimum 2 years hands-on experience building or servicing industrial equipment

• Willingness to travel (US & Canada) about one week per month after training
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and customer service skills

Nice-to-Have

• Field service experience (1+ year)
• Technical degree or trade school certification

Why This Role is Exciting
