RES is looking for a Field Technician II to join our team.
As a Field Technician II at RES, you’ll play a key role in keeping our equipment running safely and efficiently across a variety of environmental restoration and construction projects. You’ll diagnose and repair heavy equipment in the field, lead equipment inspections, and help train crew members on safety and maintenance protocols. This is a great role for a mid-level technician who thrives outdoors, takes pride in high-quality work, and is eager to build their expertise.
Why You’ll Love This Job
- You’ll be in the field, not stuck in a shop. Your day-to-day will include traveling to job sites, diagnosing and repairing equipment in real-world conditions.
- You’ll lead by example. From PPE use to maintenance procedures, you’ll set the standard for safety and quality on the crew.
- You’ll grow your technical skills. You’ll work on a wide range of construction equipment—hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical—and stay up to date through ongoing training and certifications.
- Your work keeps projects moving. At RES, we restore streams, wetlands, and ecosystems—and none of that can happen without reliable equipment and field-ready support.
A Day in the Life
Your day might begin with a safety meeting, followed by travel to a nearby job site where a skid steer is experiencing hydraulic issues. You’ll assess the equipment, troubleshoot using your diagnostic tools, and perform necessary repairs on-site. Later, you might lead a team member through an equipment inspection checklist, weld a damaged bucket, or communicate an urgent repair update to your supervisor.
Throughout the day, you'll balance repair work with equipment monitoring, preventive maintenance, and ensuring safety protocols are followed. You’re not just turning wrenches—you’re a go-to leader helping your team stay productive and safe in the field.
