Analytical Instrumentation Field Service Specialist

Make Precision Possible as an Analytical Instrumentation Field Service Specialist Picture your week: you start near Dallas, TX, load your tools and laptop, and head to a customer site to bring a sophisticated analyzer back to peak performance. By midweek, you’re in Louisiana installing an upgrade kit and coaching a lab team on best practices. You close out Friday in Arkansas, validating a system to LECO’s ISO standards and documenting your work with care.

That’s a typical rhythm in this full-time, remote, salaried role—traveling across the South-Central U.S. with up to four overnight hotel stays Monday through Friday, depending on workload.
