  • Support the launch of field trials by traveling to project sites, providing product and application training, and monitoring initial product performance.
  • Collect and document field trial data, including MW completed, tool performance, fastener performance, consumable service life, issues, and required follow-up actions.
  • Maintain a weekly log of active field trials and provide regular status reports to the Tool leadership team on progress, performance, findings, and open issues.
  • Serve as a primary technical contact between field teams and the Tool team for active trials and field-related product concerns.
  • Travel to project sites to troubleshoot technical issues involving tools, fasteners, consumables, or installation applications and implement corrective actions when possible.
  • When issues cannot be resolved on site, collect and document the information required for further investigation, including photographs, videos, samples, test data, and field observations.
  • Manage Jira cards associated with product testing, field trials, and follow-up activities.
  • Maintain clear communication with field teams, Tool leadership, and supporting teams regarding trial progress, technical findings, product concerns, and required actions.

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on troubleshooting ability.
  • Experience working with mechanical, industrial, construction, manufacturing, or similar equipment preferred.
  • Knowledge of industrial tooling and permanent fastening systems is preferred.
  • Experience with product testing, validation, technical service, field support, or similar hands-on technical work preferred.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
