Senior Field Service Technician

LiquidStack is a fast-growing technology company delivering advanced liquid cooling solutions for mission‑critical data center and high‑performance computing environments. We are seeking a Senior Field Service Technician to serve as a technical owner in the field—leading complex installations, startups, and commissioning activities while acting as a trusted technical partner to customers.
