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.
