About the Role
NJ Tool Repair provides industrial electrical and mechanical field service to manufacturing plants across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. We're hiring a Field Service Technician who can run service calls independently from a company vehicle — diagnose the problem, fix it, and leave the customer running.
This is a hands-on troubleshooting role. You'll be the person plants call when a machine is down. If you're the tech everyone at your current job goes to when something electrical won't behave, this is built for you.
