• Build strong customer relationships while performing calibrations, addressing equipment concerns, providing technical guidance, and identifying additional service opportunities or support needs.
• Coordinate frequently with internal operations and lab teams while maintaining efficiency in route planning, customer scheduling, and daily time management.
• Maintain the service vehicle in clean, safe operating condition; ensure tools, standards, and inventory are organized, stocked, and accurate.
• Support internal operations including shipping/receiving, equipment processing, documentation updates, inventory tracking, and packaging/chain-of-custody practices.

Qualifications:

• High School Diploma/GED equivalent
• Strong mechanical/electrical aptitude and proficiency with electronic measurement equipment
• Excellent communication skills and comfort interacting with customers on-site
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record (motor vehicle check will be conducted)
