Careers
Job Title: Field Service Technician
AmeriChem Systems, Inc. designs and fabricates custom process equipment for industrial clients across 36 states and 22 countries — and for many of those customers, the Field Service Technician is the face of ASI on site. This role sits at the intersection of engineering and customer success: installing systems, troubleshooting in the field, and being the person a customer calls when something is not right. It requires real technical depth, clear communication, and the kind of calm problem-solving that comes from actually knowing the equipment. If you are equally comfortable in a shop, at a plant, and on a call with an engineer three time zones away, this is the role for you.
