Field Service Lead - Industrial Inspection & Infrastructure Integrity

Mission

Protect America’s industrial infrastructure by leading on-site inspection and troubleshooting operations across power plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities. This role exists to ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of critical systems — from turbines and boilers to pressure vessels and pipelines.

You’ll serve as a hands-on leader and trusted expert, operating state-of-the-art inspection tools to evaluate and maintain high-value equipment that keeps essential industries running safely and efficiently.

• Diagnose & Document Findings: Identify irregularities, mechanical wear, or potential hazards; record and report findings using digital tools and visual documentation systems.

• Coordinate Field Operations: Serve as site lead for small inspection teams, managing safety, scheduling, and client communications.

• Troubleshoot & Maintain Equipment: Operate, calibrate, and maintain specialized inspection equipment; ensure all systems are safe, accurate, and ready for deployment.

You’ll play a critical role in maintaining the structural and operational integrity of industrial America — from power generation to process manufacturing. Every inspection prevents failure, saves downtime, and keeps people safe. For veterans and mechanical professionals who value autonomy, precision, and leadership in the field, this is a mission worth leading.
