About the Opportunity

A premier, well-established door systems provider in East-Central Wisconsin is seeking a dependable, mechanically skilled Field Service Technician to join our team in Fond du Lac.

We specialize in commercial overhead door systems (rolling steel doors, sectional doors, high-speed fabric doors) and residential garage doors. While prior overhead door experience is valued, we actively hire and train mechanically inclined candidates from adjacent trades —including automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, equipment mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, and elevator service specialists.

If you have solid mechanical aptitude, know how to use hand and power tools, can read a tape measure accurately down to 1/16", and understand basic low-voltage wiring and mechanical spring assemblies, we will provide the hands-on trade training and equipment you need to run your own truck.

What We Offer

• Guaranteed Hourly Pay: $20.00 – $32.00/hour starting base (straight hourly pay, no flat-rate book hours) with consistent overtime opportunities.
• Take-Home Service Rig: Modern, fully stocked company service vehicle, fuel card, specialty power tools, and rigging equipment provided.
• Robust Benefits Package: 401(k) retirement plan with company match, comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, HSA, life insurance, and paid time off (PTO + paid company holidays).
• Hands-On Trade Training: Work directly with experienced lead technicians learning commercial torsion springs, commercial motor operators, and high-speed door controls.
• Clear Career Progression: Documented advancement pathways to Senior Lead Technician, Field Supervisor, and Service Management.
• Autonomous Work Culture: High-trust, safety-first shop culture with zero micromanagement once you are trained and running your route.

Key Responsibilities

• Service & Installation: Troubleshoot, repair, replace, and install commercial sectional doors, rolling steel doors, high-speed fabric doors, and residential garage systems.
• Operator Wiring & Diagnostics: Wire, test, and troubleshoot low-voltage commercial operators, control panels, 3-button stations, photo-eyes, and safety edges.
• Mechanical Alignment: Accurately measure openings, square and align vertical/horizontal tracks, hang commercial spring assemblies, and safely set counterbalance tension.
• Safe Jobsite Execution: Operate safely off ladders, scissor lifts, and boom lifts in commercial facilities, warehouses, and residential garages adhering strictly to OSHA guidelines.
• Customer Communication: Communicate professionally with facility managers, commercial clients, and homeowners regarding completed repairs, operational safety, and maintenance recommendations.

Qualifications

• Mechanical Aptitude (Required): 1–2+ years of hands-on mechanical repair, installation, or troubleshooting experience. Strong crossover backgrounds include:
• • Overhead doors or residential garage door installation/repair
  • Automotive service, dealership technician, or fleet maintenance
  • Industrial machinery maintenance or conveyor repair
  • Elevator/escalator maintenance or equipment mechanics
• Core Technical Competencies: Comfortable using hand and power tools (impact drivers, angle grinders, hammer drills), reading a tape measure accurately, and understanding basic low-voltage wiring.
• Heights & Physical Demands: Comfortable working at heights off ladders, scissor lifts, and boom lifts; ability to lift 50+ lbs safely on active jobsites.
• Valid Driver’s License: Valid driver’s license with a clean, insurable driving record.
• Bonus (Not Required): Basic stick/MIG welding experience or aerial lift certifications.
