Make Technology Work Again
At Galco, we help manufacturers keep their operations running. When critical industrial equipment fails, our Field Service Technicians are the experts customers rely on to diagnose problems, restore production, and improve system reliability. From troubleshooting PLCs and variable frequency drives to repairing servo systems and industrial controls, you'll apply your electronics knowledge to solve real-world challenges and make an immediate impact
If you're the type of person who enjoys figuring out why something stopped working, takes pride in fixing it right, and wants to leave every customer better off than when you arrived, we'd like to talk with you.
What You'll Do
What Success Looks Like
Preferred
You are naturally curious, mechanically inclined, and energized by solving difficult technical problems. You don't just replace parts. You investigate, diagnose, and fix the root cause. You enjoy being in front of customers, working independently, and seeing the immediate results of your expertise.
At Galco, your electronics knowledge won't sit behind a desk. You'll use it every day to restore operations, solve problems, and help customers succeed.
