Technician, Technical Field Services

Technical Field Sales Technician
Location: Remote, Eastern United States, preferred (40-50% domestic travel)
At JPW Industries, we don't just build products, we build careers.
You've programmed it, run it, and fixed it. Now be the expert every customer counts on to make it run right.
If you are an advanced CNC machinist who knows lasers, water jets, press brakes, and CNC machining equipment from the operator's side of the control, and you have already taken that skill on the road installing, training, and troubleshooting at customer sites, this is your next move. You will be the person who uncrates the machine, brings it to life, cuts the first good part, and leaves the customer's team confident they can run it without you. Then you will be the call they make if something goes wrong.
JPW Industries builds the machines that fabricators, job shops, schools, and manufacturers depend on, through brands like Baileigh, Wilton, and Jet. As our Technical Field Sales Technician, you will work from a home base anywhere in the United States (Eastern US preferred), partnering with our service, sales, and product team to help customers choose, install, and get the most out of their equipment.
What You Will Own
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You will own:
Machine Setup and Commissioning: The installs you are assigned, from site check to commissioning to a proven part the customer signs off on.
The Technical Side of the Sale: Demos, applications reviews, and site preparedness evaluations that give customers confidence to buy, and our sales team confidence to sell.
Customer Capability: Training that turns a new machine owner into a confident, productive operator.
The Voice of the Field: What you see on customer floors goes straight back to Engineering and Sales to make our products and service better.
