As a Field Service Controls Technician – Robotics & Automation with RHI Magnesita, you will play a critical, customer-facing role supporting the installation, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting of advanced refractory application and robotic equipment across multiple industrial sites.
This is a high-travel, field-based role (~70%), supporting customers throughout the continental U.S., with a strong focus on the southern region and regular support in York, PA. Candidates should have convenient access to a major airport to support frequent and efficient travel to customer sites.
While travel is a core part of the role, it is structured to support work-life balance. Technicians are typically home on weekends, with travel schedules designed to avoid continuous Monday–Friday assignments whenever possible. In addition, you can expect dedicated non-travel time (approximately one week per month) to focus on administrative work, training, and recovery between assignments.
You will serve as a key technical expert in both electrical systems and automation controls, ensuring equipment operates safely, reliably, and at peak performance while delivering a best-in-class customer experience.
