Manufacturing Technician, Field Services

About the role

Build it. Prove it. Start it up. On the floor and in the field, this isn’t a stay-in-one-place technician role. As our Manufacturing Systems Technician, you’ll operate in two worlds—splitting your time between hands-on fabrication in our Sedalia facility (~70%) and field support (~20–30%). From cutting and assembling PVC/CPVC systems (with some stainless in the mix), this is precision, hands-on work where what you build is exactly what ships—no separation between effort and outcome. The other 20–30% of the time, you’re on-site, in front of the customer, watching your system come to life.

• Operate fabrication equipment including saws, drills, routers, CNC machines, and injection molding equipment to cut, drill, and assemble PVC/CPVC components.

• Conduct quality inspections to ensure products meet company standards and specifications.
• Maintain accurate production records and report material usage, equipment issues, or production concerns.
• Collaborate with team members to meet daily production goals, schedules, and deadlines.
