Overview
Join our growing technical services team as a Field Service Technician, supporting wastewater sampling, customer site visits, and light laboratory operations. This role combines driving, fieldwork, and basic technical responsibilities in a fast-paced and hands-on environment.

The ideal candidate is reliable, organized, comfortable working in industrial environments, and able to represent the company professionally at customer sites. The work regularly involves wastewater sampling, outdoor conditions, and physically demanding environments — so attitude, consistency, and professionalism are far more important than formal technical experience.

This position offers an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys independent work, field service, environmental operations, and learning technical processes in a growing company.

Work in industrial environments including manufacturing facilities, wastewater areas, outdoor locations, and varying weather conditions.
Handle, label, transport, and document samples accurately while maintaining chain-of-custody and sampling integrity.
Perform basic laboratory support tasks including simple sample preparation, titrations, and general lab organization (training provided).
Communicate professionally with customers during site visits and notify management of any customer concerns or observations.
Maintain cleanliness, organization, and readiness of sampling equipment and supplies.
Serve as the primary user of assigned company vehicle, including monitoring fuel, cleanliness, and maintenance needs.
Follow all company safety procedures and environmental handling protocols at all times.

Requirements

Extremely reliable with strong attendance and punctuality.
Comfortable working in unpleasant environments including wastewater facilities, strong odors, outdoor conditions, and industrial settings.
Strong work ethic with the ability to work independently and stay organized throughout the day.
Professional and respectful demeanor when interacting with customers and coworkers.
Ability to follow detailed instructions and procedures consistently.
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
Ability to lift equipment and samples and perform physical work throughout the day.

Basic mechanical aptitude or familiarity with industrial facilities.
Experience operating independently in route-based or service-oriented positions.
