Servolift LLC is looking for motivated, mechanically inclined individuals to join our Field Service Technician team.

You don't need pharmaceutical equipment experience to get started. We'll train the right person!

If you're interested in turning your mechanical abilities into a specialized technical career, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Who We Are

Servolift is an established manufacturer and supplier of specialized material handling and processing equipment used in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and other industrial manufacturing facilities.

Our equipment incorporates mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and automated control systems.

As a Servolift Field Service Technician, you'll learn to install, troubleshoot, maintain, and repair sophisticated industrial equipment at our Randolph, NJ facility and customer locations throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

During this initial training period, you'll work alongside experienced technicians performing equipment assembly, troubleshooting, maintenance, repairs, and other technical activities similar to those performed in the field.

As your technical knowledge and experience develop, you'll gradually begin participating in customer-site service assignments, with the goal of becoming a capable, independent Field Service Technician.

When not traveling, technicians work at our Randolph facility , performing equipment assembly, troubleshooting, maintenance, repairs, and other shop-based technical work.

Once fully trained, the position is expected to involve approximately 25–50% travel, including overnight assignments throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
