Field Service Technician – Forestry Equipment

Forestry Doesn't Wait. Neither Do We.

Forestry is demanding. When equipment is down, productivity stops. That's why our customers rely on skilled technicians who can diagnose problems, make quality repairs, and get their equipment back to work safely and efficiently.

As a Field Service Technician specializing in forestry equipment, you'll work where the action happens—supporting customers in the field and helping keep some of the industry's most advanced equipment operating at its best. From advanced diagnostics and major repairs to preventative maintenance and troubleshooting in the field, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to build your expertise.
