Service Technician - Process Equipment

Not a desk job. Not the same day twice.
If you like working with your hands, solving real problems, and being on the move, this might be your kind of role.

$24–$29/hr + Overtime | Weekly Travel | Career Growth Track

You’ll work on critical processing equipment used by leading food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturers across the country. Over time, you’ll build a specialized, in-demand skillset one that few people have and companies rely on.

If you enjoy diagnosing problems, fixing what others can’t, and continuously learning, this role is a strong foundation for long-term growth.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Work directly on industrial process equipment (pumps, valves, heat exchangers)
• Travel to customer facilities across the country
• Walk into a plant, identify issues, and get critical equipment back up and running
• Support operations where downtime isn’t an option
• Train customers and operators on proper equipment use
• Read schematics, understand systems, and troubleshoot in the field

This isn’t repetitive shop work, you’ll be in different facilities, working on new systems and challenges on a regular basis.

What You’ll Gain

• A specialized technical skillset in sanitary process systems
• Hands-on experience in a stable, essential industry
• The ability to troubleshoot complex systems—not just swap parts
• Customer-facing experience where you become a trusted technical resource

Who This Is For

You don’t need to know everything, but you do need the right mindset.

This role is a great fit for someone who takes pride in solving problems others call when something breaks.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Mechanically inclined and enjoys working with equipment
• Curious and quick to learn
• Comfortable working through problems without a script
• Open to travel and new environments
• Able to communicate clearly with customers and teammates

Experience

• 6+ months of hands-on mechanical or service-related experience (or relevant training)
• Basic electrical troubleshooting is a plus
• Industrial or food manufacturing experience is helpful, but not required

Travel & Work Style

• Weekly travel to customer sites
• Variety in locations, industries, and technical challenges
• Physically active work (tools, equipment service, lifting)
• Overtime opportunities available

If sitting at a desk all day isn’t for you, this role offers more hands-on and dynamic work experience.

Why CSI

• Competitive hourly pay + overtime opportunities
• Strong benefits package (health, PTO, retirement)
• Tuition reimbursement and ongoing training
• Clear growth opportunities—this is not a dead-end role
• Team-oriented culture with people who genuinely enjoy working together and support each other in the field
