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.

  • Verify every installation meets applicable building codes and safety standards.
  • Deliver clear, respectful customer service—explain findings, outline options, and recommend cost-effective solutions.
  • Document each visit with accurate notes, measurements, and reports.
  • Perform quality checks to ensure repairs and installs meet Vortex standards.

Requirements

  • A high school diploma or equivalent.
  • 2+ years in commercial door service is a plus, but not required.
  • Familiarity with door types, brands, and hardware is a plus.
