The Role

This is a hands-on role centered on pump rebuilds and light field service work. You'll be responsible for tearing down, diagnosing, remanufacturing, and testing a variety of pumps and rotating equipment. Field work is typically straightforward service - laser alignments, seal and bearing replacement, and assisting with installs and start-ups. The majority of technical complexity in this role comes from the rebuild and diagnostic work performed in the shop.
