Superior Skilled Trades is seeking a dependable Field Service Technician to support the operation and maintenance of decentralized wastewater treatment systems.

• Dependable, detail-oriented, and willing to learn.
• Comfortable using email and basic computer applications.
• Able to work independently, outdoors, and spend much of the day driving between sites.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
• Must be able to obtain the required wastewater operator license within 12 months.
• Plumbing, electrical, mechanical, maintenance, field service, or wastewater experience is a plus but not required.

Training & Benefits of the Role

• Approximately 2+ weeks of hands-on training alongside an experienced technician.
• Company provides required tools and PPE.
• Company provides training and assistance toward wastewater licensing.
