About the role
Shape safer entrances every day with Vortex Doors. Picture your morning: you load up your service vehicle, review your route, and head to a retail storefront for a quick closer adjustment before moving on to an industrial dock where a manual door needs a spring replacement. In the afternoon, you install new hardware and access control on a hollow metal opening, document your work, and walk the customer through what you did and why. That’s a typical day as a Field Technician at Vortex Doors—America’s most customer-focused commercial and industrial door service team.
