Royersford, PA | Mon-Fri, Day Shift
Your Launch into Technical Careers
Are you a recent graduate or trade school student looking to start your technical career? Do you want hands-on experience working with real industrial equipment, not just the classroom? Proconex is hiring entry-level Field Service Technicians to join our fast-growing team at Atlantic Valve Services (AVS).
This is a launching pad. We'll train you, mentor you, and give you the skills to advance into lead technician, supervisor, or sales engineering roles within a reasonable amount of time.
What You'll Do (80% field & assembly work)
You'll spend most of your time in the field and at job sites working with control valves, pneumatic systems, and diagnostic equipment. Your responsibilities include:
- Assemble control valves, regulators, and automated valve systems at our Royersford facility and customer locations
- Perform diagnostic evaluations, calibration, and installation of industrial control systems
- Troubleshoot and commission equipment at customer sites
- Collaborate with experienced technicians, sales engineers, and customer service teams
- Support skid assembly and mechanical equipment projects
- Prioritize safety and maintain professional work standards
Be honest with yourself: This job is physical, outdoor-focused, and hands-on. You'll work in all weather conditions. If you want a desk job, this isn't it. If you're ready to build real technical skills, let's go.
What We'll Teach You (3-4 Month Training)
You don't need prior mechanical experience. We provide formal training in:
- Valve assembly and industrial control systems
- Pneumatics and automated systems
- Diagnostic equipment operation and troubleshooting
- Customer site safety protocols
- Equipment commissioning and calibration
As you advance, you'll have access to Emerson factory training programs—industry-recognized certifications that open doors.
What We're Looking For
- High school diploma or equivalent (or currently enrolled in/graduated from a trade or technical program)
- Mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn
- Physical ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work outdoors in all conditions
- Ability to work independently in the field and collaborate with a team
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record (required for field work)
- Drug screening required
Preferred but not required:

- Trade school or technical background
- Any mechanical, electrical, or hands-on technical experience
