We're Hiring
Lubrication System-Installation Technician
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 aftermarket 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.
We work on all types of equipment: crushers, haul trucks, tri-axle dump trucks, wheel loaders, excavators, laser screeds, concrete trucks, machine tools, sweepers, injection molding machines, sterilizers, packaging machines etc.
We enjoy an excellent reputation for quality workmanship and attention to detail. As a tech with us, you meld the characteristics of a mechanic with the qualities of a skilled craftsman, one who truly takes pride in the work. When you do good work, it is recognized by the customer which insures our future. Doing good work is our priority.
Ultimately, all of us professionally interact with customers, vendors, and coworkers on a daily basis. We perform installations, diagnostics, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repairs on all Lube Tech products in the field or at the shop. This involves mechanical skills, electrical aptitude and some light welding (not structural).
We maintain our service trucks and shop to insure a clean efficient work space. This includes inventories of parts and supplies on the vehicles as well as the shop. You must accurately and timely complete all required paperwork both written and electronic.
Other duties include, making hose assemblies, cable assemblies, and other related kitting assemblies. We all work as team members sharing responsibility for quality installations. At times, due to customer needs we may be called out of town with short notice, consequently, you should be able to work alone as well as part of a team.
If you are responsible for your actions, do what you say you will do and take pride in your work, we want to talk to you! Having the ability to think on your feet, work independently and be accountable for your actions, is what we seek. We want enthusiastic driven team members who are proactive and take pride in what they do!
We are seeking career minded mechanically inclined individuals to install and service Automatic Lubrication Systems on trucks, trailers, on/off-road construction equipment, and general industries, in West Springfield, MA.
There will be an in-depth training period where your skill set will be constantly expanded and tested to insure success. We hold exceptionally high standards and only those who have aspirations to be the best at what they do will be considered for long term employment with us. Would you like to be part of a unique company where excellence is expected?

What Else?

You should have strong organization skills – strength in record keeping, shop cleanliness, inventory and parts needed for ordering, desire to stay proactive and not reactive as it applies to superior customer service and meeting the needs of both our customers as well as the company.
