Job Description
The Automatic Lubrication Systems industry is predicted to grow by 4-5% in the next 5 years. We are the premier lubrication systems designers and installers in the New England area. We need qualified individuals who are interested in a different career path that offers work in a wide number of industries and challenging applications that allow you to grow and be rewarded for your dedication and aspirations to do good work.
We are not an OIL CHANGE Facility!
Our installation techs perform custom after-market installations of automatic lubrication/series progressive systems, on site at our shop in West Springfield, as well as at customer locations normally within the six state area. Most of our installations are time sensitive, consequently, this position requires long days as we work to job completion as opposed to a set number of hours per day.
