About the Company
We’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 Overview
You’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 difference
Travel to customer job sites across the U.S.
Support installation of the company's machine control and automation technology onto heavy equipment
Set up, calibrate, and support GPS machine control systems
Carry out site localisations, calibrations, diagnostics, and base/rover setup where needed
Work alongside mechanical field teams during installs and troubleshooting
Train operators and site teams on how to use the technology properly
Stay on-site after installation to monitor performance and answer customer questions
Troubleshoot GPS, hardware, software, communication, and sensor-related issues in the field
Work with operators, project managers, superintendents, site surveyors, and engineers
Keep clear records of installs, support visits, troubleshooting, customer interactions, and training
Help keep the technology running when customers are depending on it live on site
Who you are
Experience in machine control, GPS, surveying, construction technology, or field-based technical support
Comfortable working outdoors and around heavy equipment
Mechanically practical - you know how to use tools and figure things out in the field
Able to communicate well with customers, especially when something is not working and pressure is high
Calm enough to troubleshoot problems without bluffing or overpromising
Happy with a role that involves serious travel across the U.S.
Comfortable being on site for long stretches when required
Able to work independently, but also alongside mechanical, engineering, service, and customer teams
Willing to learn new technology
Legally authorised to work in the U.S.
Able to pass required background checks
Nice to have
Experience with Trimble, Leica, Topcon, or similar GPS / machine control systems
Experience installing or calibrating GPS machine control systems on heavy equipment
Survey, site layout, or construction staking experience
Familiarity with site localisations and local coordinate systems
Agriculture GPS / precision ag technology experience
Background with heavy equipment dealers, machine control dealers, or survey equipment providers
Military, aviation, HVAC, welding, or other mechanically technical field backgrounds may also fit well
Compensation & Setup
Typical target range: $90,000 – $125,000 base salary
Full company benefits - Fully funded Medical, Dental & Vision
Front Loaded 10 Days PTO, 13 Paid Holidays
Travel across the U.S.
Field-based setup with customer site work, remote support, and technical troubleshooting
Why It’s Worth a Look
This 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.
