• Join a three-time Inc. 5000 honoree that partners with the U.S. Military and Fortune 500 brands - your work quite literally secures our nation.

What You'll Do

• Travel nationwide Monday-Friday (fly out Monday, home most Fridays) to perform preventive and corrective maintenance on motorized vehicle-barrier and gate systems, CCTV, message boards, portable generators, and related safety controls.

• Troubleshoot and service three-phase motors, VFDs, and control circuits up to 480 VAC, plus 12-24 VDC low-voltage I/O.
• Create concise digital service reports, parts lists, and labor estimates after every visit; capture customer sign-off and photos before closing each ticket.
• Act as the on-site safety lead - coordinating with customer security teams, following lock-out/tag-out and confined-space best practices, and maintaining your company-issued service vehicle.

• Comfortable flying and driving 70 % of the time; must live within ~1 hour of a major airport.
