Senior Electric Forklift Field Service Technician | Material Handling Equipment

Benefits

• For this opening, electric forklift experience isn't simply preferred — it's essential. We're looking for someone with demonstrated hands-on experience diagnosing, servicing, and repairing electric forklifts or closely related battery-powered material handling equipment. Strong candidates will bring: • 5+ years of professional forklift/material handling service experience preferred, or equivalent demonstrated technical capability • Hands-on electric forklift repair and diagnostic experience — REQUIRED • Strong electrical troubleshooting and diagnostic ability • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams • Experience using a digital multimeter and electrical diagnostic equipment • Working knowledge of electric motors, controllers, contactors, sensors, wiring, and related systems • Experience with industrial batteries and charging systems • Hydraulic and mechanical troubleshooting capability • Ability to independently diagnose complex or intermittent equipment faults • Experience performing repairs at customer locations • Strong service documentation and customer communication skills • Valid driver's license and driving record acceptable for company vehicle use • Ability to safely perform the physical requirements of field-service work Linde experience? Excellent — we'd absolutely like to hear from you. Experience with other major material handling manufacturers is also valuable. Linde-specific experience is not required. Electric forklift expertise is. This May Not Be the Right Role If... We'd rather be transparent about the experience we're seeking. This particular opening probably isn't the right match if your background is primarily: → Automotive repair with little or no forklift experience → Diesel or heavy-equipment repair without electric forklift exposure → Preventive maintenance without diagnostic responsibility → General mechanical repair without electrical troubleshooting → Manufacturing maintenance without hands-on material handling equipment experience Those backgrounds can be valuable for other WMH technician opportunities. For this position, we specifically need someone who can step into electric forklift diagnostics with an established technical foundation.

You do need the technical foundation and diagnostic mindset to figure out what's happening when the answer isn't obvious.

You'll operate from a company-provided take-home service van, with 🚐 Take-home service van ⛽ Company fuel card ⏱️ Paid travel time 💻 Diagnostic laptop and service resources 🛠️ Tool support and quarterly allowance The role is designed for an experienced technician capable of managing service calls independently while remaining connected to WMH's broader technical, service, and OEM support network.
