Field Service Technician — Petroleum Equipment

Collins Equipment Corp. | Cleveland, OH

About Collins Equipment

Collins Equipment is a family-owned and operated Ohio institution with over 80 years of history, and a BUSTR-certified petroleum equipment inspection and design-build firm. We serve municipalities, school districts, state agencies, airports, and commercial fleets across Ohio, keeping fuel systems compliant, safe, and running.

We're looking for someone who wants more than a job — we want to invest in your training and certifications and help you build a long-term career with Collins. Most of our team members have been with us for many years, and we're looking for the next person to grow alongside us for the long haul.

The Role

We're looking for a Field Service Technician to join our field team, supporting inspections, installations, and service calls across our municipal and commercial accounts. This is a hands-on, growth-track role: you'll start with inspection support and structured service work, and build toward independent diagnostic and repair capability on fuel dispensing, tank monitoring, and leak detection systems.

This role is designed to grow. With demonstrated reliability and technical aptitude, there's a clear path toward BUSTR-certified inspector status and eventually lead technician responsibilities dependent on capabilities, ambition, and career goals.

What You'll Do

• Assist with STI (Steel Tank Institute) and BUSTR-required annual inspections, tightness testing, and hydrotest procedures
• Support installation, troubleshooting, and repair of dispensers, submersible pumps, tank monitoring systems, and leak detection equipment (Gasboy, Wayne, Veeder-Root, and similar)
• Read and follow work orders accurately; document findings, parts used, and corrective actions clearly for invoicing
• Travel to customer sites throughout the greater Cleveland/Northeast/Central Ohio area (company vehicle provided)
• Communicate professionally and collaboratively with facility managers, school district staff, and municipal contacts on-site
• Work alongside our senior technician to learn diagnostic techniques on legacy and modern equipment
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment on truck and at customer locations
• Follow all safety protocols around fuel systems, confined spaces, and electrical work
• Schedule: this role works an early shift: 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM, Monday–Friday, with a 30-minute lunch. Early start, early finish.

What We're Looking For

• 0–3 years of relevant experience — mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or similar trade background welcome; petroleum equipment experience is a plus but not required
• Comfortable with hand tools, basic electrical troubleshooting, and reading technical diagrams
• Reliable, safety-conscious, and detail-oriented — this work touches regulated fuel systems
• Strong communication skills; comfortable representing Collins professionally at customer sites (schools, municipal buildings, correctional facilities, etc.)
• Strong problem-solving skills — able to diagnose mechanical issues methodically and think through a fix, not just follow a checklist
• Willingness to get your hands (and clothes) dirty; this is real field work, not a desk job Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Ability to work in varied outdoor conditions year-round, work on elevated equipment, and occasionally lift 50+ lbs
• Willingness to pursue BUSTR Class A/B operator certification (Collins will sponsor training)

Nice to Have

• Experience with fuel dispensers, USTs, or environmental compliance equipment
• Prior work in a field service or trade apprenticeship role
• Familiarity with basic digital tools (mobile job forms, photo documentation)

Growth Path

This role is the entry point into Collins' technical career track: Field Technician → BUSTR-Certified Inspector → Lead Technician

You'll train alongside our senior technician and technical team, with the opportunity to earn certifications that make you one of a small number of BUSTR-authorized inspectors in Ohio — a credential that's in high demand and hard to find.
