We’re looking for a Controls Service Technician to work directly with the Controls Service Manager. You will be expected to learn the accountabilities of Service Controls Technicians, meet performance standards set by management, and comply with all company policies, procedures, beliefs, and values.

In return for achieving ambitious goals, you’ll be rewarded with more ownership, a ton of growth opportunities, and more freedom than you’ve probably ever had.

The Controls Service Technician role reports to the Area Operations Managers and works on collaborative teams across a variety of projects and initiatives to support our growing business. This highly visible role interacts with all levels and functions within the organization.

Your Background: What Kind of Person Will Thrive in This Role?

You should have…

And you should be motivated by…
