Trades ​/ Skilled Labor Technician, Maintenance Technician ​/ Mechanic

Dura Serv installs, services, and maintains commercial dock and door systems that keep warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities running. Behind every system that works flawlessly is a technician who knows what to look for — and fixes it right the first time.

As a Technician Apprentice you’ll be on the job, learning from experienced technicians, getting hands‑on with mechanical and electrical systems, and building the skills that define a career in the trades. Dura Serv’s ADVANCE training program gives you a structured path to grow — and the income keeps coming while you do it.

• Assist with the installation, service, and maintenance of commercial dock and door equipment under the direct guidance of experienced technicians
• Participate in basic mechanical and electrical troubleshooting tasks – rolling doors, sectional doors, levelers, and dock equipment
• Learn to safely use hand tools, power tools, and basic fabrication equipment to support installation and repair tasks
• Study and apply technical manuals, wiring diagrams, and documentation alongside experienced teammates

• Maintain a safe, clean job site and follow all OSHA safety protocols, PPE requirements, and fall protection standards
• Document service activities accurately – work performed, parts used, observations – building habits that define a professional technician
• Develop customer communication skills by assisting in job status updates and explaining service needs clearly and professionally
• Participate in the ADVANCE training program daily, completing required coursework and demonstrating learned skills on the job

You don’t need to know everything yet. You need the right instincts, the work ethic to show up every day, and the drive to get better than you were yesterday.

• Mechanically curious – you take things apart to understand them, and you’re not satisfied until you know why something works
• Safety‑conscious – you follow protocols without cutting corners, because you understand that safety isn’t a suggestion on a job site
• A learner – you absorb feedback, apply it, and come back the next day sharper than before
• Physically capable – comfortable with frequent standing, bending, ladder use, and lifting up to 50 pounds regularly
• Reliable and professional – your conduct on the job site represents Dura Serv as much as your technical skill
