CNC Machine Tool Service Specialist (Field)

Your Day, Your Territory

Picture this: sunrise over the Houston Market. Your day starts with a route plan and a clear mission—keep our customers’ CNC assets running at peak performance. With a company-issued laptop and phone in your bag, your car allowance (or company vehicle) fueled on us, and a fast, no-hassle reimbursement process behind every expense, you’re free to focus on the work that matters.

By mid-morning you’ve diagnosed a spindle vibration on a Haas VMC, swapped a motor, and verified alignment. After lunch, you’re commissioning a new Okuma lathe, training operators on start-up procedures, and advising sales on an upcoming upgrade. Most days you’re home for dinner—travel is largely local with minimal overnights.

What You’ll Tackle

  • Own field service in a locally defined Houston territory—service calls, new installations, and preventive maintenance.
  • Pinpoint and resolve mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical issues on CNC machining and turning centers.
  • Deliver excellent customer communication across operators, maintenance teams, and leadership.
  • Provide light operator training and partner with sales on technical insights.
  • Maintain thorough records—service cases, project notes, and technical documentation.
  • Represent Ellison Technologies with professionalism and integrity in every interaction.
  • Jump in on related tasks as needed to keep customers productive.

What Sets This Role Apart

  • Latest technology, varied challenges, and a diverse client base—no two days are the same.
  • Support that removes distractions: car allowance or company vehicle, company-provided cell phone and laptop, covered fuel, and quick reimbursements.
  • A team with low turnover where careers grow, skills sharpen, and long-term success is built.

Benefits

  • Paid time off (PTO)
  • Paid holidays
  • Sick time
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan
