Job Overview:

Overview

We are seeking a skilled CNC Field Service Technician to join our team, providing on-site technical support and maintenance for CNC machinery and related systems. This role involves troubleshooting, repairing, and calibrating complex equipment across manufacturing environments. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in industrial maintenance, electrical systems, hydraulics, and mechanical knowledge, with experience working with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, vision inspection systems, and high-voltage systems. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work in a dynamic field service environment, supporting customer operations and ensuring optimal machine performance.

Responsibilities

  • Perform installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and repair of CNC machinery and automation systems at client sites including about 80% travel.
  • Conduct calibration and alignment of precision measuring instruments to ensure machine accuracy.
  • Read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, and control system documentation including AutoCAD drawings.
  • Diagnose electrical issues involving low voltage, high voltage, sensors, distributed control systems (DCS), and vision inspection systems.
  • Utilize calibration tools such as ohmmeters and other measurement instruments to verify system performance.
  • Maintain detailed service reports and documentation of work performed for customer records.
  • Provide exceptional customer service by communicating technical information clearly and professionally to clients.
  • Support preventive maintenance activities to minimize downtime and extend equipment lifespan.
