At RES, we’re looking for purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about restoration and sustainability, and who want their work to make a lasting environmental impact. Our team members go above and beyond, bringing initiative, integrity, and a strong work ethic to every project. Collaboration is key—we thrive on teamwork, open communication, and diverse perspectives. In a field that constantly changes, we value those who are resilient, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges. If you're intellectually curious, eager to learn, and ready to help restore ecosystems and protect natural resources, you’ll find your place here.
As a Field Technician II at RES, you’ll play a key role in keeping our equipment running safely and efficiently across a variety of environmental restoration and construction projects. You’ll diagnose and repair heavy equipment in the field, lead equipment inspections, and help train crew members on safety and maintenance protocols. This is a great role for a mid-level technician who thrives outdoors, takes pride in high-quality work, and is eager to build their expertise.
Your day might begin with a safety meeting, followed by travel to a nearby job site where a skid steer is experiencing hydraulic issues. You’ll assess the equipment, troubleshoot using your diagnostic tools, and perform necessary repairs on-site. Later, you might lead a team member through an equipment inspection checklist, weld a damaged bucket, or communicate an urgent repair update to your supervisor.
Throughout the day, you'll balance repair work with equipment monitoring, preventive maintenance, and ensuring safety protocols are followed. You’re not just turning wrenches—you’re a go-to leader helping your team stay productive and safe in the field.
Travel amounts will be a few overnights a couple times a month max
