Field Technician

Machine Control Field Technician – Autonomous Heavy EquipmentLocation and Territory - Remote - USTravel across the U.S. - Travel, around 75 - 90%Start Date - ImmediateAbout the CompanyWe’re working with a fast-growing construction technology business that is bringing automation, GPS machine control, and robotic retrofit technology into the heavy equipment world.Their systems are installed onto machines like excavators, pile drivers, and other construction equipment, helping contractors improve accuracy, productivity, and how work gets done on site.The business is growing quickly and needs more field-based technical people to support live projects across the U.S.Role OverviewYou’ll be out on customer job sites installing technology onto construction equipment, training operators on how to use it, and then staying close to the machine once it goes live to make sure everything is working properly.The role is built around three main areas:Install. Train. Support.This is not a desk-based GIS or survey role. It is field-based, hands-on, travel-heavy, and right at the point where GPS, machine control, construction equipment, and automation all come together.Where you will make a differenceTravel to customer job sites across the U.S.Support installation of the company's machine control and automation technology onto heavy equipmentSet up, calibrate, and support GPS machine control systemsCarry out site localisations, calibrations, diagnostics, and base/rover setup where neededWork alongside mechanical field teams during installs and troubleshootingTrain operators and site teams on how to use the technology properlyStay on-site after installation to monitor performance and answer customer questionsTroubleshoot GPS, hardware, software, communication, and sensor-related issues in the fieldWork with operators, project managers, superintendents, site surveyors, and engineersKeep clear records of installs, support visits, troubleshooting, customer interactions, and trainingHelp keep the technology running when customers are depending on it live on siteWho you areExperience in machine control, GPS, surveying, construction technology, or field-based technical supportComfortable working outdoors and around heavy equipmentMechanically practical - you know how to use tools and figure things out in the fieldAble to communicate well with customers, especially when something is not working and pressure is highCalm enough to troubleshoot problems without bluffing or overpromisingHappy with a role that involves serious travel across the U.S.Comfortable being on site for long stretches when requiredAble to work independently, but also alongside mechanical, engineering, service, and customer teamsWilling to learn new technologyLegally authorised to work in the U.S.Able to pass required background checksNice to have Experience with Trimble, Leica, Topcon, or similar GPS / machine control systemsExperience installing or calibrating GPS machine control systems on heavy equipmentSurvey, site layout, or construction staking experienceFamiliarity with site localisations and local coordinate systemsAgriculture GPS / precision ag technology experienceBackground with heavy equipment dealers, machine control dealers, or survey equipment providersMilitary, aviation, HVAC, welding, or other mechanically technical field backgrounds may also fit wellCompensation & SetupTypical target range: $90,000 – $125,000 base salaryFull company benefits - Fully funded Medical, Dental & VisionFront Loaded 10 Days PTO, 13 Paid HolidaysTravel across the U.S.Field-based setup with customer site work, remote support, and technical troubleshootingWhy It’s Worth a LookThis is a good fit if you like being out in the field, solving problems in real time, and working with technology that is changing how construction equipment is used.It is not a soft travel role. The travel is heavy, the pace is fast, and customers will expect answers when systems are live on site.If you are practical, technically curious, strong with customers, and interested in machine control, GPS, automation, and heavy equipment, this is a chance to join a business that is still being built - not just step into a fixed corporate structure.You’ll get exposure to modern construction automation, work directly with the people building the product, and be part of a team that is genuinely shaping how this technology is rolled out in the field.
