Road Technician / Field Service Technician (Material Handling)

$32 - $38 per hour + Take-Home Company Truck + 401(k) Match + Great Work-Life Balance + Long-Term Stability

Memphis, TN
(Commutable from: Bartlett, Germantown, Collierville, Millington, Arlington, Lakeland, Cordova)

Are you a Forklift Technician, Material Handling Mechanic, or Field Service Technician looking for a stable, long-term role with a tight-knit team and a genuine work-life balance?

Do you want a local patch (typically within an hour of Memphis) with set hours and an employer that backs you with the right support and equipment to do the job properly?

This is a permanent position with a well-established, family-feel material handling business, carrying out a mix of field service work and shop-based repairs. You'll be working on modern equipment (Hyundai primarily, plus some Toyota), troubleshooting and diagnosing faults across diesel, gas, and electric trucks, as well as dock & door and hydraulics.

As the business continues to grow, they're looking to add another technician to their team. There is also a real pathway to step up over time (including progression into a Parts Manager route) for someone who wants it, without sacrificing your evenings and weekends.

This role would suit a material handling technician looking for a secure role, steady hours, a local patch, and long-term prospects with a good team.

The Role:
- Service, repair, diagnose, and maintain material handling equipment (Hyundai, some Toyota)
- Field-based work across the Memphis area (typically within 1 hour) plus some shop work
- Work schedule: 7:00am-4:00pm, no overtime focus

The Person:
- Material handling / forklift maintenance experience (diesel, gas, and electric)
Journeyman license (or equivalent) and confident troubleshooting/diagnostics
- Own tools preferred
