  • Helping Customers:

    • Show customers how to operate and maintain their compressors properly.
    • Explain repairs and recommendations in plain language.
  • Keeping Things Organized:

    • Fill out detailed service reports so everyone knows what’s been done and what’s needed next.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience:

    • At least 2 years of hands-on work with rotary and reciprocating compressors.
    • Familiarity with brands like Quincy, Ingersoll Rand, Kaeser, or Atlas Copco is a big plus.
  • Know-How:

    • Solid understanding of compressor systems-mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic.
    • Comfortable using diagnostic tools and troubleshooting equipment.
  • Bonus Points for:

    • Technical certifications (HVAC, EPA Section 608, etc.).
  • Attitude:

    • You take pride in your work, pay attention to details, and enjoy solving problems.
    • You’re great at explaining things and know how to keep customers happy.
  • Other Stuff:

    • A valid driver’s license-you’ll need it to get to job sites.
    • Self-starter who can manage their time without someone looking over their shoulder.

What’s in It for You:

  • Competitive pay-you’ll get paid what you’re worth.
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits to keep you and your family covered.
  • Company truck, tools, and equipment provided (if applicable).
