Service Technician careers
Their role involves troubleshooting faults, performing routine inspections, and ensuring that equipment operates efficiently and safely.
Service Technicians often work onsite at client locations, requiring strong problem-solving skills, technical knowledge of the equipment, and the ability to read and interpret manuals or technical drawings. They may also liaise with customers to explain the nature of repairs, provide maintenance advice, and ensure customer satisfaction.
This role typically demands hands-on technical expertise, adherence to safety regulations, and the capacity to work independently or as part of a team.
