DescriptionSKILLBRIDGE to FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
NATIONWIDE Opportunity
- Must live near a Major Airport
Travel ~75%, most weekends home- START ASAP!
Travel to manufacturing plants around the country installing and servicing safety systems on press brakes and other metalworking machines.
It's real hands-on trade work - half electrical (wiring safety controllers, multimeter diagnostics, reading schematics), half mechanical (drilling, tapping, mounting brackets).
Trips typically run Monday-Thursday or Friday with most weekends home, in 3-4 week stretches followed by a full week off; between trips you'll build interface kits and prep upcoming jobs.
Key ResponsibilitiesYou'll train side-by-side with our senior technicians and won't run jobs solo until you and the team both feel you're ready - and there's a deep backlog of booked work waiting.
- Install Lazer Safe camera-based safety systems - brackets, wiring, controller setup, calibration, testing
- Install machine guarding - rear guards, perimeter fencing, scissor gates, interlocks
- Train operators after each install and handle service and recertification visits
- Troubleshoot on-site with senior techs a phone call away
- You're handy - comfortable with drills, taps, and metal; you can read a wiring diagram and work a multimeter
- You like a puzzle - every machine is different, and installs rarely go exactly to plan. Curiosity and stick-with-it matter here.
- You're dependable working solo - after ramp-up, you're the face of the company on site
- Veterans and military technical backgrounds are a great fit - and strongly encouraged
- No degree needed. Aptitude and work ethic are what count.
- $60,000-$65,000 base salary
- Per diem daily - what you don't spend, you keep
- Year-end bonus (typically $5-10K)
- 401(k) with 4% company match
- Travel on the company card - $0 out of pocket
- Target all-in comp: $85-90K/year
