• Diagnostic Precision: Complete mastery in interpreting high-level hydraulic/electrical blueprints and utilizing precision testing tools under rigorous field conditions.

• Communication & Presence: Exceptional interpersonal skills with the professional confidence to train others, navigate dealer relationships, and speak clearly on technical hydraulic principles (Spanish proficiency is a strong asset).
• Location Constraints: Must reside in a centralized East Coast location within a 2-hour drive of a major airport hub to support rapid dispatching; must be a US Citizen or Green Card holder.
