Field Service Technician

Alright, let's talk about this job. It's not a desk gig. You'll be out in the field, on the road, fixing things that keep businesses moving. If you're the kind of person who'd rather solve a hydraulic issue than fill out a spreadsheet, this might be your spot.

What the Job Is

You're a Field Service Technician for Pape' Material Handling in the Anchorage, AK area. Your main task is keeping material handling equipment; think forklifts and industrial machinery; running perfectly at customer sites. The goal is to prevent breakdowns and maximize uptime for them.

You'll drive a company service vehicle (it comes fully stocked) to different locations every day. A big part of the role is dealing directly with customers; they need to trust you to diagnose the problem correctly and fix it right then and there.

What You Need to Bring

• A journeyman level skill set for diagnosing and repairing equipment. Experience in material handling is strongly preferred.
• Your own set of tools.
• A valid driver's license with a clean record.
• The ability to work independently with minimal supervision. They need someone who's self motivated.
• Solid people skills. You're representing the company face to face with customers, so clear communication and good relations are non negotiable.
• Basic computer knowledge is required.
• Living within the assigned service region around Anchorage, AK is a must.

Got experience with electric forklifts? That's a definite plus.
