Field Service Technician in Milwaukee

Job Description: Field Service Technician (Primary Packaging Machinery)

Greater Milwaukee, WI | Up to 100% US travel up to $45/hr + overtime at time and a half over 40 hrs + per diem ($64.50 travel days / $86 full on-site days) + mileage reimbursement Most field service techs get handed a manual and a plane ticket. In this role, you'll learn the machines by helping build them before you ever install one at a customer site. I'm working with an established manufacturer of high-speed primary packaging machinery used across food and consumer goods packaging. They have an experienced field service team, with long-serving technicians who'll show you the ropes. They're growing the team on the back of major new equipment orders. Your first three months are structured training, split between the company's headquarters and shadowing experienced techs in the field. Ideally you'll work alongside the electrical assemblers and engineers building the machines you'll go on to support. You'll learn one machine platform in depth first, then cross-train onto others, so your skills and your value keep growing.

Overtime at time and a half over 40 hours

Mileage reimbursement Three months of structured training, including hands-on build experience on the machines you'll support Health insurance from day one, with no waiting period 401(k) with company match 3 weeks' vacation, rising to 4 weeks with tenure

A strong electrical background: reading schematics, understanding PLC ladder logic and making program changes Solid mechanical skills Experience on cartoners, pouchers or other primary packaging equipment (highly ) A curious, self-driven troubleshooter who wants to know why a machine is doing what it's doing, not just assemble parts Excellent communication and people skills, since you'll be the company's face on customer sites A technical or associate degree, or an equivalent mix of education and experience Comfortable with Windows and Microsoft Office Based in Greater Milwaukee and comfortable with full-time US travel Why This Opportunity Stands Out: Few field service roles give you the chance to help build the machines before you support them, so you'll go into the field knowing the equipment inside out. With time and a half over 40 hours, per diem on every travel and on-site day and mileage reimbursement on top, your take-home goes well beyond the base rate. And with a stable, experienced team behind you, it's a place you can build a long career.
