The Position: We are a growing company looking to add another experienced field support repair technician to aid in the market’s needs. Our ideal candidate would have more than 5 years of experience in a maintenance or installation type role looking to advance their skillset even further. The pay range we’re offering starts at $24-$33 per hour ($49k-$68.5k), commensurate with experience.

 

The Company: PackSmart is family-owned (3rd generation involved), over 40 years in business and is known for the great care we take with customers and employees alike. We are a growing packaging company based in West Chicago that offers its employees a collaborative environment, a flexible work schedule, and one operating system - the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS).

Here at PackSmart, all our employees have a clear understanding of where the Company has been, where it is now, and where it is going, through our quarterly State of the Company meetings.  Our employees see our 10-Year Target, our 3-Year Picture, our 1-Year Plan, and our quarterly Company Rocks and financial objectives.

 

The EOS structure allows for weekly departmental meetings that start on time, end on time, and have a clear, consistent agenda.  Issues are identified, discussed, and solved with action items set, and where employee accountability takes place.  We identify the most important things (called Rocks) to accomplish in the next 90 days and we are laser focused on completing our Rocks.  Employees and their manager have a quarterly conversation that occurs offsite to work on the business, as opposed to the normal daily conversations that occur when working in the business.

With his 12+ years of field service experience he would be mentoring you to advance your skills and gain market knowledge by completing a 90-120 day training program. After the training has been completed, he will be available for in-house tech support at any time in the event you need someone to be a sounding board for troubleshooting.  Your manager enjoys working with the team on larger machine repair projects and installations.
