Mechanic - Industrial Pumps & Rotating Equipment

Industrial Pump Repair Technician

This role focuses on the repair, rebuild, testing, and occasional field service of industrial pumps and rotating equipment. You'll diagnose failures, rebuild equipment to OEM specifications, perform testing, and support customer installations and repairs both in our OEM-authorized service center and at customer facilities.

This is an OEM-authorized repair environment not plant maintenance. Rather than performing routine maintenance on the same equipment every day, you'll be involved in complete tear-downs, failure analysis, rebuilds, remanufacturing, and field service on a wide variety of industrial pumps and rotating equipment.
