What a Day Looks Like
Your morning might start in Des Moines, your afternoon just across the river, and tomorrow could take you to a client site in MN or MO—still close to home. As a CNC field specialist supporting a locally defined territory with a primary focus on Iowa, you’ll diagnose, repair, and install advanced machine tools while keeping customers productive and confident in their equipment.
WhyYou’ll Love This Role

- Not a road warrior role: you’ll be home regularly while still seeing diverse sites and challenges.
- We remove the friction: car allowance (or, in some cases, a company vehicle), company phone and laptop, fuel covered, and fast reimbursements.
- Backed by a strong team: low turnover, continuous learning, supportive leadership, and great tools.
From a precision alignment on a 5-axis VMC to a drive replacement on a multi-axis lathe, you’ll keep shops running and customers delighted. You’ll represent the brand with professionalism and integrity, take ownership of service cases, and document your work thoroughly.
