Careers
Service Technician (Traveling)
Our traveling service technicians split their time between installing new systems on site and performing preventative maintenance/repair for existing customers. During new installations, our service technicians are the “boots on the ground” to serve as the face of the company, coordinate with contractors, and ensure our systems are installed and integrated correctly.
This could include communicating blueprints and drawings, helping install plumbing, electrical, or HVAC systems, programing wash cycles, setting up pressure washers, and more. During maintenance and repair jobs, service technicians perform preventative maintenance on water heaters, pressure washers, chemical injectors, control boards, and other machinery according to manufacturer specifications.
If customers are experiencing service issues, technicians may attempt to trouble shoot over the phone or email; if the issue progresses to on-site repairs, technicians must identify broken or malfunctioning components, and complete effective repairs using a variety of hand and power tools.
Service Technicians travel extensively. Up to 70% of the job requires nationwide travel, sometimes on weekends or on short notice. When not traveling nationally, many days will involve local travel around Michigan to service systems nearby. This positions weekly schedule can vary from 30 hours at the home office to 60+ during installations. This location is based out of our home office in Caledonia Michigan. Required travel can include the lower 48 United States and some portions of Canada.
All our employees are encouraged to participate in company committees or initiatives; we actively solicit feedback from every corner of the company for ways to improve our process, work culture, benefits, or communication. If you want to have a voice and impact in your organization, Hydro-Chem Systems is the right place for you.
