Join Vortex Doors as a Senior Commercial Door & Dock Systems Technician

At Vortex Doors, we’re known nationwide for precise workmanship, safety-first practices, and outstanding customer care. With 4+ years in the door industry, you’ll step into a role where every day brings new challenges—installing, servicing, and maintaining commercial and industrial doors, dock equipment, and access hardware for customers who count on us.

A day in the field

By 7:00 AM, you’re loading your company vehicle with the right tools, PPE, and parts. You head to your first site to troubleshoot a rolling steel door that won’t cycle. After precise diagnostics, you replace damaged hinges, test the limits on the operator, and verify safety sensors. Midday, you configure a new closer, rekey a storefront lockset, and fine-tune an access control reader. The afternoon brings a dock leveler adjustment and quality check. You finish the day by documenting work performed, walking the customer through findings, and proposing cost‐effective options for long‑term reliability—all while meeting code and safety standards.
