Mechanical Systems Technical Support Engineer

Mechanical Systems Technical Support Engineer

Location: Quincy, IL (Onsite)

Your Day in This Role

Start the morning reviewing overnight cases from field technicians supporting our air systems across Compression Technologies North America. You’ll triage issues, jump on calls, and guide IRCC’s and Distribution partners through complex mechanical diagnostics. Midday may take you from building a fault tree for a recurring reliability concern to drafting a crisp technical bulletin or Knowledge Base article—complete with multimedia that accelerates troubleshooting for the field. In the afternoon, you might huddle with Engineers, Operations, and Management to pinpoint a root cause, then pivot to mentor a teammate on best practices. Some days include a customer site visit for hands-on support, or a session contributing your voice to a new product design or field test—ensuring real-world implementation sticks.
