Job Details

This Field Service Technician role offers stable, full-time employment in a highly technical, hands-on environment focused on precision measuring equipment and industrial machinery. The position is a 100% travel role, with technicians expected to be away from home during the week and available for weekend work as needed. Starting pay is $38.46 per hour, with expected annual compensation ranging from $80,000-$90,000, depending on experience and qualifications. Saturday work is paid at time-and-a-half, while Sunday work is paid at double time, providing additional earning potential for technicians willing to work weekends. Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, a 401(k) with a 100% company match on contributions up to 5%, paid vacation, sick days, holidays, travel reimbursement, and potential bonus opportunities.

A typical day involves traveling to customer facilities to install, calibrate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair precision measuring equipment. Technicians perform preventative maintenance, mechanical alignment, calibration, and system diagnostics while addressing mechanical, electrical, computer, and software-related issues. The role requires technicians to work independently onsite, communicate directly with customers and the people who operate or build the machinery, verify proper equipment operation, and accurately document completed service work. Travel is a major part of the position, including frequent overnight trips throughout the U.S. and international travel to Canada and Mexico. Technicians are responsible for booking their own flights and hotels, with approved travel expenses reimbursed on their next paycheck, and a company credit card may be available for authorized business expenses.

Veterans with backgrounds in mechanical or electrical maintenance, aviation maintenance, engineering, machinery, electronics, vehicle systems, or other technical fields can be particularly strong fits for this opportunity. The position rewards mechanical aptitude, troubleshooting ability, computer skills, attention to detail, technical documentation, safety awareness, and the ability to operate independently with limited supervision. Direct experience with precision measuring equipment or CNC metrology equipment is preferred, but candidates without that specific experience may still be considered if they demonstrate strong mechanical, electrical, computer, and troubleshooting abilities. Veterans accustomed to maintaining mission-critical equipment, diagnosing problems under pressure, following technical procedures, traveling as part of their assignment, and adapting to different environments will find many of the expectations familiar.

What makes this opportunity exciting is the combination of technical work, travel, independence, and continued training. Rather than performing the same maintenance tasks in one facility every day, technicians visit different customer sites, work with sophisticated equipment, and solve new technical challenges in a variety of environments. The position also provides extensive technical training in both the United States and Germany, along with opportunities for international travel. Candidates can live remotely as long as they are within approximately 1.5 hours of a major commercial airport, making the role accessible to experienced technicians who value flexibility and travel. For someone looking to build a long-term career in field service, this opportunity combines overtime earning potential, international travel, advanced technical training, and the independence of working directly with customers across the country.
