CNC Machine Tool Field Service Specialist

Job Description

Job Description

A day in the life

You start your morning in Iowa, coffee in hand, reviewing a couple of service tickets on your company-provided laptop before heading to a nearby customer site. By mid-morning, you’re running diagnostics on a CNC machining center, tracing a hydraulic issue and confirming an electrical repair. After lunch, you swing by another customer to complete a preventive maintenance visit on a CNC turning center, wrap up the documentation, and call a sales teammate with a quick heads-up about an upgrade opportunity you noticed. You finish the day with your notes synced, expenses submitted through a fast reimbursement process, and a sense of momentum—another day helping customers keep their production humming.

What this role is (and isn’t)

• Focused on a local territory—primarily Iowa with coverage across IA, MN, and MO.
• About 50% travel, with travel time paid. It’s not a national “road warrior” grind.
• Hands-on with cutting-edge machine tool technology and a diverse set of customers.
• Backed by a company that invests heavily in its service team and keeps turnover low.

How we set you up to win

• Car allowance (or company vehicle where applicable)
• Company cell phone and laptop
• Fuel covered and a smooth, fast reimbursement process

Benefits

• Paid time off (PTO)
• Paid holidays
• Sick time
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Life insurance
