Job Description
Field Service Technician – Automated Equipment (Direct Hire)
Location: South Elgin / Belvidere, IL (local to Elgin area)
Pay: Up to $42/hr
Travel: Up to 25%, well-planned, home on weekends
We’re hiring a Service Technician to support the assembly, testing, installation, and service of custom automated equipment. This is a direct-hire role with stable travel expectations and a strong mix of shop and field work — ideal for a field service technician looking to reduce on-call duties and overall travel without giving up hands-on automation work.
When not traveling, you’ll be based locally in the shop supporting machine builds, troubleshooting, and final testing. Travel is scheduled in advance and designed to keep technicians home on weekends.
What You’ll Be Doing
Assemble, test, debug, and troubleshoot custom automated machinery in the shop
Perform field installations, service, and warranty support at customer sites
Support final quality and performance testing prior to shipment
Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and control-related issues
Assist with customer acceptance testing, demonstrations, and training
Document field issues and feedback to support engineering and manufacturing improvements
Work out of both the South Elgin and Belvidere locations as needed
What We’re Looking For
3+ years experience as a Service Technician, Field Service Technician, or Lead Machine Builder
Background in automation equipment (assembly, test, or service)
Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills
Ability to read and interpret 3D CAD drawings, electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical schematics
Working knowledge of PLC systems (ability to read ladder logic; basic edits a plus)
Comfortable with hand tools and basic machine shop equipment
Associate’s degree, technical certificate, or equivalent hands-on experience
Why This Role Stands Out
Up to $42/hr based on experience
Direct hire with long-term stability
Travel capped at ~25% and well planned
Home on weekends
Strong balance of shop work and field service
Ideal step for a field service tech seeking less travel and fewer on-call demands
Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or genetic information.
