Field Service Technician – Dental Equipment Goetze Dental | Kansas City, MO (Flagship Branch) Put Your Skills to Work at the Heart of a 140-Year Operation. Goetze Dental has been part of the Kansas City community since 1884. If you’re a mechanically talented person looking for a stable, rewarding career with a company that values craftsmanship and treats its people well — you may already know our name. And if you don’t, we think you’ll like what you find. We’re hiring a Field Service Technician to join our Kansas City team — our largest and most active branch, and the one our network leans on when the big projects come around. We’ll teach you the dental part. You bring the mechanical aptitude and work ethic. About Goetze DentalGoetze Dental has been family-owned and operated since 1884 — and today, the 4th and 5th generations of that same family are still running the business. We don’t answer to shareholders or worry about quarterly earnings. We make decisions based on what’s right for our customers, our employees, and the long-term health of the company. We believe strongly in the private dental practice — the kind of dentist who knows their patients by name and takes genuine pride in their care. That’s who we serve, and it shapes everything about how we operate. We’re not a vendor to corporate dental chains — we’re a long-term partner to independent practitioners who share our values. That same philosophy shows up in how we treat our own people. Many of our employees have been with us for decades. Our Director of Service has been with the company for 25 years, and several members of his team have been here even longer. We’re not a stepping stone — we’re a place where skilled people come to do great work and stay. To be straightforward with you: the Service Technician role is a craft position. There isn’t a long management ladder to climb — but there is the opportunity to become genuinely expert at something specialized and in-demand, be compensated well for that expertise, and work for a company that will still be here — and still value you — ten and twenty years from now. What’s Different About This JobHere’s why our Kansas City team members choose Goetze:
About the RoleAs a Field Service Technician based out of our Kansas City branch — our flagship operation and distribution hub — you’ll visit dental offices across a wide territory covering the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line, extending north toward Omaha and Des Moines, east toward St. Louis, and west into Kansas. The majority of your day-to-day work will be in the KC metro itself, but your territory is genuinely broad and includes some rural western Kansas coverage north of I-70 where long drives between stops are simply part of the job. As part of our largest branch, KC technicians are also the first called when other branches across our network need extra hands for larger installation projects. That means you’ll see a wider variety of work than a technician in a smaller market — and you’ll build skills and relationships across the organization that others don’t get the same exposure to. The work itself spans a broad and growing range of technology — from mechanical systems like air compressors and vacuum units to increasingly sophisticated equipment like 3D dental imaging systems. You won’t be expected to know it all on day one — training on advanced equipment comes over time as you build your foundation. But if you’re someone who genuinely enjoys learning how new technology works, this role has a real growth path in that direction. Goetze also serves our customers as a full-service IT managed services provider. While our dedicated IT technicians and remote helpdesk — based right here in Kansas City — handle the complex IT work, you’ll occasionally be asked to serve as on-site hands and eyes for our remote team. You don’t need to be an IT expert, but being comfortable around technology and willing to learn is a genuine plus. No dental experience required. If you can diagnose a hydraulic problem, troubleshoot an electrical system, or figure out why a compressor isn’t performing — you already have the core skills we’re looking for. A Realistic Picture of the ScheduleWe believe in being upfront. Here’s what the schedule actually looks like for a KC technician:
We think that’s a fair trade for the right person — and we’d rather you know it upfront than be surprised later. What You’ll Do
