Automotive Lift & Hoist Field Service Technician

Join Express Employment Professionals as an Automotive Lift & Hoist Field Service Technician

By 7:00 AM, you’re geared up on the east side of Madison, WI, reviewing the day’s service calls. First stop: a local shop where you’ll inspect an automotive hoist, verify electrical connections across 12V/120V/240V systems, and follow lockout/tagout procedures. By mid-morning, you’re troubleshooting a suction pump, then moving to a pressurized pump repair. After lunch, you’re operating a scissor lift to reach a platform, anchoring hardware securely into concrete, and documenting the job with photos before heading back.

This hands-on role blends mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic know-how with customer service and safety excellence. If you enjoy solving complex problems on-site and working both independently and with a crew, this position is for you.
