Zipline is hiring a Field Support Technician to help keep our Dropbox locations safe, reliable, and ready to serve customers every day.

Dropboxes are located at partner sites and are an important part of Zipline's delivery operation. In this hands-on role, you'll travel between assigned locations to inspect equipment, complete light maintenance, troubleshoot problems, and make sure each site meets Zipline's safety and quality standards.

You'll often work independently and interact directly with our partners. We're looking for someone who communicates well, takes pride in their work, and follows through when something needs attention. You don't need to know everything on day one, but you should be comfortable working with tools, solving problems, and learning new systems.

This is a six-month contract position with the opportunity to be considered for a full-time role based on performance and business needs.

• Visit assigned Dropbox locations and make sure they are clean, organized, safe, and ready for daily operations.
• Perform routine inspections and preventive maintenance on Dropbox equipment and supporting systems.
• Complete basic mechanical, technical, and site repairs using established procedures.
• Troubleshoot equipment problems and resolve issues within the scope of your training.
• Identify damaged equipment, safety concerns, or operational issues before they affect customers or partners.
• Escalate issues quickly when additional technical or operational support is needed.
• Provide clear details, photos, and documentation so internal teams can understand and resolve reported problems.
• Track completed inspections, maintenance work, repairs, and open issues.
• Communicate professionally with partner teams, vendors, and Zipline employees.
• Maintain the tools, parts, and supplies needed to support your assigned locations.
• Travel between sites and assist at other regional locations when operational support is needed.
• Identify recurring problems and share ideas that could improve site reliability, safety, or the partner experience.

• Hands-on technical or mechanical ability and comfort working with basic tools.
• Good judgment and the ability to stay calm when unexpected issues arise.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A customer-first mindset and the ability to represent Zipline professionally.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to following safety procedures.
• The ability to manage your time, prioritize work, and move between multiple sites.
• Comfort working independently while staying connected with a larger support team.
• A willingness to learn new equipment, systems, and operating procedures.
• Previous experience in field support, facilities maintenance, equipment repair, technical service, or a similar hands-on role is preferred but not required.

Minimum Qualifications

• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record for the past 36 months.
• Access to a reliable vehicle for traveling between assigned sites.
• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, reach, and perform physical work for extended periods.
• Comfort working both indoors and outdoors in changing weather conditions.
• Flexibility to travel or commute to other sites within the region when needed.
• Availability to work either a Tuesday–Saturday Sunday-Thursday, or Thursday-Monday schedule.
• Ability to commit to the full six-month contract.
