Field Technician

Description

We're looking for a field technician for an entry-level position in our Nashville office. Initially, this position will focus on locating and pinpointing leaks in water distribution systems throughout Davidson County. Eventually, you'll share responsibility for all aspects of leak detection for clients across the US. Must be willing to travel up to 50% of the time.
