One of my best clients, a leading manufacturer of precision CNC manufacturing cutting tools, is looking for a traveling Field Service Engineer to work remotely.
A bit about the company:
For over 40 years, they have been a leading producer of cutting machine tools worldwide, making top-of-the-line CNC machines, 5-axis, etc. You definitely have heard of them. With operations nationally and internationally, they are recession durable. This is a long-term opportunity to grow with a leading global, stable, structured company. Those looking to build their skills with real-world experience in the field.
The job:

• Create and update documentation of technical information.
• Contribute to product development by assisting and training the end customer's Service Engineers on installing and maintaining newer product lines.
• Establish and build exemplary communication and customer service relationships with customers. (There's a tech team that supports the Field Service Engineers in-house, so they don't have to have 100% every answer from beginning to end; trust that they have support when in the field.)

Details:

• Field Service Engineers are hourly with the opportunity for overtime, so all that travel time gets paid.
• Seventy-five percent travel and up, often within an hour. Up to 2-3 hours, rarely out of state. Company vehicles. If it makes sense to stay the weekend, do what works best; they are happy to pay for the weekend stay. They take care of their team very well because they can.

• Proven ability to read mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and troubleshoot (PLC) ladder diagrams.
• If you know what a spindle is and have ever changed one, if you know what head stock alignment and leveling is. You fit!
