Electro-Mechanical Service Technician, Packaging & Conveyors

Role snapshot

Join Pioneer Desert Manufacturing as an Electro-Mechanical Service Technician supporting customers nationwide. You’ll be the expert who keeps production moving by installing, troubleshooting, and repairing industrial equipment in the field. Live anywhere in the U.S.—no relocation or daily commute to our Austin office. This is an on-site customer-facing role, not work-from-home.

Travel & schedule

• ~75% travel, typically Monday departure to Friday return; most weekends at home.
• Primarily first shift; some overtime or weekend work as needed.
• Company-paid airfare, hotels, and rental cars while traveling, plus a $65/day meal per diem.

What you’ll tackle

• Install and commission packaging machinery and conveyor lines.
• Diagnose electrical and mechanical faults; replace failed components.
• Troubleshoot PLC-controlled systems (no programming required).
• Perform preventive maintenance to maximize uptime.
• Create clear service documentation and reports.
• Provide hands-on operator training at customer sites.

Must-have qualifications

• 3+ years of industrial maintenance or field service experience.
• Proficiency reading electrical schematics.
• Strong troubleshooting across motors, sensors, conveyors, and pneumatics.
• Experience with PLC troubleshooting; programming not required.
• Valid driver’s license for site-to-site travel.

Compensation

$35–$45 per hour, commensurate with experience.

Equipment & technologies

• Packaging machines
• Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
• Conveyor systems

This is a true field assignment: work occurs at customer facilities across the U.S., typically with overnight travel during the week and home most weekends.
