Straight talk on pay
Our Field Service Mechanics are averaging $28 to $37 per hour, when you factor in:
- Overtime after 8 hours in a day
- Double time after 10 hours in a day
- On-call pay
- Commissions
Ask yourself:
- Does your current employer pay time and a half after 8 hours in a day?
- Do they pay double time after 10 hours in the same day?
If the answer is no, you should talk to us.
What you will do
As a Field Service Mechanic, you will provide on-site hydraulic hose service for customers across southeastern Wisconsin. You will:
- Respond to service calls replacing hydraulic hoses, tubing, and fittings
- Diagnose hose failures and determine the correct repair solution
- Fabricate replacement hoses on-site using a fully equipped service vehicle
- Communicate clearly with customers and explain repairs and recommendations
- Identify additional service or replacement needs while on location
- Safely operate and maintain your company-provided service van
- Participate in a rotating on-call schedule with additional pay
This is hands-on, field-based work. You will work independently most days and represent PIRTEK directly at customer sites.
A day in the life
No two days are the same, but most days look like this:
- Start your day from home or the shop with a stocked service van
- Run scheduled service calls and emergency breakdowns
- Travel to customer sites including manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and fleet yards
- Diagnose leaks, remove failed hoses, and build replacements on-site using company equipment and your own hand tools
- Talk with customers, document work, and move on to the next call
- Some days run longer, and when they do, you are paid daily overtime and double time
This role rewards mechanics who like autonomy, problem-solving, and getting paid fairly for long days.
