Commercial Pedestrian Door Systems Technician

Vortex Doors is recognized for best-in-class service in commercial and industrial door repair. We’re welcoming an experienced technician with 4+ years in the door industry to keep businesses moving safely and efficiently.

Your morning starts around 7:00 AM as you roll out in a company-provided, fully stocked service vehicle. The first stop might be a retail storefront with a misaligned automatic entrance. By late morning, you’re configuring a low-voltage access control on a hollow metal opening. After lunch, you replace worn hinges on a dock door, verify life-safety compliance, and wrap up by documenting your work—clear, complete, and ready for the customer’s records. Throughout the day, you communicate proactively, solve problems on the spot, and uphold Vortex’s high standards for safety and craftsmanship.
