Description:
This role focuses on the repair, rebuild, testing, and field service of industrial and municipal pumps and rotating equipment. You'll diagnose failures, repair pumps and other rotating equipment, and perform testing - both in our shop and onsite at customer facilities. This is an OEM-authorized repair environment – not plant maintenance. Rather than performing routine preventative maintenance on the same equipment every day, you'll perform complete tear-downs, failure analysis, rebuilds / remans, and field service on a wide variety of pumps and rotating equipment.
As the first full-time mechanic supporting our West Palm service operation, you'll have significant ownership over the shop and play a key role in expanding our service capabilities throughout Southeast Florida.
