Field Service Technician

Job description

OUR COMPANY

A pioneer in food processing systems, we are a Toronto-based company that develops, manufactures, and markets the ORCA digester; a machine that sustainably processes solid food waste into wastewater. Our onsite waste digestion equipment allows customers to dispose of organics right at the source, effectively eliminating the need to truck the waste to landfills. ORCA eliminates the production of methane gas, reduces emissions related to the transportation of waste, and provides meaningful cost savings for customers. We also offer an extensive service plan to ensure customers get the support and attention they need.

THE POSITION

The field technician position involves servicing and maintaining our organic digesters at various locations throughout the Washington DC area.

This is as much a customer service position as a technical one.
