Service Technician – Large CNC / Machine Tools

Travel: North America (with occasional international travel)

Take Precision on the Road. Deliver World-Class Equipment.

Our client is a globally recognized manufacturer of large, high-precision machine tools engineered in Germany and trusted by leading aluminum, steel, and paper producers worldwide. They are seeking a skilled Service Technician who thrives in the field, enjoys solving complex technical challenges, and takes pride in commissioning world-class machinery at customer sites.

If you enjoy hands-on work, advanced technology, and seeing the direct impact of your expertise — this role offers variety, autonomy, and long-term stability.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Install, set up, and commission large, high-precision CNC machine tools at customer sites

• Lead machines from mechanical assembly through final fine-tuning, testing, and customer acceptance

• Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and control system issues in the field

• Program, parameterize, and optimize control and drive systems from various manufacturers

• Set up and calibrate measuring and testing equipment to verify accuracy and performance

• Train customers on machine operation, maintenance, and best practices

• Perform preventive maintenance, inspections, alignments, and re-alignments

• Partner with engineering and production teams to implement improvements and enhance customer satisfaction

What You Bring

• Technical training as a Mechatronics Technician, Industrial Mechanic, Electronics Technician, or a degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
  (Significant hands-on experience may substitute for formal education)

• Experience assembling, installing, or servicing industrial machinery

• Strong working knowledge of mechanical systems, electrical components, and controls

• PLC experience (IEC 61131-3) is a plus

• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and circuit diagrams

• Analytical, solution-oriented mindset with a strong customer focus

• Comfortable working independently in the field or collaboratively with a team

• Clear communicator with customers and internal teams

• Willingness to travel extensively within North America (with occasional international travel)

• English proficiency required; German language skills a plus

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive base salary based on experience and technical expertise

• Additional earnings for travel time, overtime, and per diem

• Full-time, stable employment with long-term career potential

• Exposure to advanced, large-scale CNC and machine tool technology

• 10 paid holidays plus paid vacation time

• Comprehensive benefits package, including:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • 401(k) with company match

  • Life and disability insurance

• Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates

The Opportunity

This is not a bench-top service role. This is a chance to work on large, complex, precision-engineered machines, represent a respected global brand, and become a trusted technical partner to customers across North America.

If you enjoy travel, technology, and solving problems that matter — this role delivers all three.
