Field Service Technician

Do you excel at trouble shooting and fixing mechanical/electrical equipment? Are you excited by the opportunity to work on unique historic products that have enriched the sight and sound of our public gathering places for hundreds of years? If the answer is “Yes!”, then we have an opportunity for you!

For 180+ years, The Verdin Company has been manufacturing cast bronze bell ringing systems and decorative outdoor clocks for houses of worship, cities & towns, universities, and commercial customers. Our unique products bring beauty and joy to thousands of communities across North America.

We are looking for full-time Field Service Technicians to join our growing team. In this role, you will travel to our customers’ locations to install, troubleshoot, and maintain their bell and clock equipment. Our business is strong and growing, providing ample opportunity for a motivated technician to earn a great income with plenty of benefits.

We provide all the resources you’ll need to be successful, including comprehensive in-house training, dedicated company truck (usually a Ford F-150), specialized tools, mobile phone & laptop, and company credit card to cover out-of-pocket expenses.

• Travel frequently, up to 50% overnight at times depending on our backlog of projects. Much of the work will be within a day’s drive, allowing you to be home at the end of the workday. Candidates must have a flexible schedule and clean driving record.
• Climb stairs and ladders of varying heights to reach our equipment in bell and clock towers. You should feel comfortable working on ladders up to 30 ft. high and using lifting equipment such as boom lifts, scissor lifts, and man-buckets (after receiving training and certification).
• Possess basic mechanical and electronic trouble shooting skills; we will train you on the detailed workings of our unique products, but you should have a knack and an interest in fixing equipment issues using technical manuals, engineering drawings, and technical support.
• Lift and carry mechanical equipment weighing up to 50 lbs.
• Program electronic control equipment with the aid of manuals and technical support.
• As Verdin’s “face” to the customer, you will be expected to present yourself in a professional manner and communicate with our customers confidently and respectfully.
• Document and summarize your field work clearly and concisely.
• Maintain clean and well organized vehicle, keeping track of tools, inventory, and parts.

• Basic mechanical knowledge and experience with electronics and/or electro-mechanical equipment.
• Previous experience in rigging, construction, metal fabrication, or electrical work is a plus.
• A self-starter who thrives working independently with minimal supervision and can think creatively to solve problems.
