The role focuses on troubleshooting and field service work at customer sites, primarily in laboratory and animal research facilities, ensuring all equipment operates safely, reliably, and in accordance with specifications and schedules.Responsibilities

Troubleshoot access controls, locking mechanisms, air flow systems, lighting controls, HVAC systems, and plumbing-related components to identify and resolve issues efficiently.
Perform preventative maintenance on all products according to manufacturer specifications and a predetermined maintenance schedule to maximize equipment reliability and uptime.
Provide warranty service and technical support on all products in accordance with documented specifications and service procedures.
Deliver emergency service and support on all products, responding promptly to urgent issues and restoring systems to proper operation.
Review system installations on customer sites and begin system commissioning, ensuring all components are installed correctly and operate as designed.
Document service activities, findings, and repairs in a clear and accurate manner to support ongoing maintenance and customer records.
Collaborate with internal teams and customer personnel to ensure systems meet operational, safety, and performance requirements.
Travel frequently to customer locations to perform on-site service, maintenance, and commissioning work as scheduled.
Handle company-provided tools, equipment, and vehicles responsibly, following all safety and operational guidelines.

Essential Skills

Minimum 2 years of field service experience in a technical or mechanical environment.
Minimum 2 years of experience reading and interpreting blueprints and technical drawings.
Minimum 2 years of experience working around HVAC or plumbing systems, whether professionally or through substantial hands-on experience.
