Work Your Magic with us. Before scientists can deliver breakthroughs that impact life and health, their instruments and process systems must perform without fail. As a Field Service Technician, you will keep laboratory water, filtration and bioprocessing technologies running so customers can focus on discovery—not downtime.
Performance Objectives
- Complete on-site installations, qualifications and start-ups of assigned systems within scheduled timeframes and first-pass acceptance criteria.
- Diagnose and resolve hardware, software and process issues, restoring full operation on the first visit wherever possible.
- Deliver hands-on operator and maintenance training, enabling customers to operate and care for their systems independently.
- Document every visit completely and accurately in company systems on the same day, ensuring parts, billing and compliance records remain current.
- Identify upgrade, consumable and service contract opportunities during visits and communicate them effectively to the commercial team.
- Maintain assigned territory response times and customer satisfaction scores that meet or exceed team targets.
- Share field observations regarding product reliability and usability with product and applications teams to support continuous improvement.

- A valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel regularly throughout the assigned region.
- Ability to safely lift and position equipment.
- An associate degree or relevant qualification in a technical discipline, or equivalent military or technical training supported by relevant field experience.

- Join a leading global science and technology organisation with approximately 60,000 colleagues worldwide.
