You'll fly out Monday morning to customer sites across the U.S., perform hands-on service Tuesday and Wednesday, and return Thursday leaving most Fridays open unless you're jumping in on a new install with the crew. It's consistent, well-supported, and fully paid including travel time, per diems, and hotel perks. And don't worry well train you from the ground up.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Work with wiring, sensors, small motors, and diagnostic tools

  • Use your mechanical instincts to problem-solve and get systems back online

  • Represent the team on-site and provide clear service reporting

  • Participate in remote troubleshooting (optional paid rotation)

  • Occasionally assist with team-based installations (some Fridays)

What You'll Need:

  • Strong mechanical ability whether it's diagnosing brake issues or wiring sensors

  • Familiarity with hand tools, electrical testers, or schematics

  • A professional attitude and ability to adapt to different job sites

  • Willingness to travel every week (flights, hotels, per diem covered)

  • Basic computer skills or a willingness to learn service software

Preferred (But Not Required):

  • Experience as a Brake Tech, Automotive Mechanic, or Tire/Lube Technician

  • Background in field service, appliance repair, or electrical trades

  • Prior exposure to PLCs, barcode scanners, or industrial systems

  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand throughout the day

  • Passport eligibility and a clean driving record

This Could Be Your Next Move If:

  • You're ready to get out of the garage and explore something new

  • You want to build real technical skills in a growing industry

  • You're comfortable traveling and love variety in your work

  • You want a role that respects your time with built-in downtime and strong PTO

  • You're eager to grow into something more than just the next repair order

Ready to trade in the brake bay for a career that moves faster and pays you to move with it? Whether you've been in the field for years or you're just looking to escape the monotony of shop life, this opportunity lets you take control of your future.

Apply now and bring your skills on the road. Well handle the flights. You bring the focus.
