At Zimmer Biomet, we believe in pushing the boundaries of innovation and driving our mission forward. As a global medical technology leader for nearly 100 years, a patient’s mobility is enhanced by a Zimmer Biomet product or technology every 8 seconds.
As a Zimmer Biomet team member, you will share in our commitment to providing mobility and renewed life to people around the world. To support our talent team, we focus on development opportunities, robust employee resource groups (ERGs), a flexible working environment, location specific competitive total rewards, wellness incentives and a culture of recognition and performance awards. We are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels included, respected, empowered and recognised.
JOB SUMMARY
Zimmer Biomet is a world leader in musculoskeletal health solutions. Our team members are part of a company with a heritage of leadership, a focus on shaping the future, and a mission dedicated to alleviating pain and improving the quality of life for people around the world. The Manager, APAC Service Tech Support & Training is senior technical leadership role responsible for delivering expert-level technical support, building field service and repair center technical capabilities, and establishing the infrastructure for future Service Engineering Centers across the Asia Pacific region. This role serves as the regional authority for ROSA robotic system technical escalations, owns the technical competency and capacity framework for Field Service Engineers (FSEs) and Repair Center technicians, and plays a pivotal role in shaping the long-term technical service strategy for APAC — including the development of next-generation Service Engineering Centres such as ROB (Robotics Olive Branch) or equivalent regional hubs.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

- Establish and manage a technical certification and recertification program for ROSA, ensuring all FSEs and Repair Center technicians maintain up-to-date qualifications in line with product evolution and regulatory requirements.
- Define and track technical competency KPIs (e.g., certification rates, competency assessment scores, time-to-competency for new hires) and report progress to regional service leadership.
- Partner with HR and Talent Acquisition to define technical hiring profiles, support recruitment processes, and onboard new technical service staff effectively.
- Develop succession and depth-of-capability plans to ensure technical resilience and continuity across APAC service operations.
4. Setup Future Service Engineering Centres (ROB, REM & Equivalent)
- Lead the strategic planning, design, and establishment of future APAC Service Engineering Centres, including Robotics Operations Bases (ROB), Repair Engineering Modules (REM), and other regional technical hubs as defined by the service strategy.
- Define the operational model, scope of services, infrastructure requirements, tooling, equipment, and staffing needs for each Service Engineering Centre in alignment with global standards and APAC business requirements.
- Develop detailed business cases, project plans, and investment proposals for the establishment of new Service Engineering Centres, securing stakeholder alignment and organizational approvals.
- Lead cross-functional project teams — including Facilities, IT, Supply Chain, Quality, Regulatory, and HR — to execute the setup and commissioning of new Service Engineering Centres on time and within budget.
- Establish quality management systems, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and regulatory compliance frameworks for new Service Engineering Centres, ensuring readiness for operational launch.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Service Tech
Match your credential to the role
TN classification for Service Tech positions hinges on demonstrating that your technical training or degree directly supports the work. Gather transcripts, certifications, and any manufacturer training records before you start applying.
Target employers with existing TN history
Companies that have sponsored TN workers before understand the process and won't stall on an offer letter. Look for employers in industrial equipment, HVAC, or medical device sectors, where TN-based technician hires are common.
Get your offer letter written correctly
CBP officers at the port of entry approve Canadian TN applications on the spot based on the offer letter. It must specify the TN category, your duties, your qualifications, and the employment period. A vague letter is the most common rejection trigger.
Use Migrate Mate to find sponsoring employers
Filtering job listings for TN-ready employers manually is slow. Migrate Mate surfaces Service Tech roles from employers already open to TN sponsorship, so you spend time applying rather than researching which companies will consider your status.
Prepare Mexican applicants for consular processing
Mexican citizens apply at a U.S. consulate, not at the border. Book your appointment early since wait times vary by location. Bring your offer letter, credential documents, and DS-160 confirmation. Processing is generally straightforward for well-documented applications.
Negotiate TN renewal into your employment terms
TN status is granted in up to three-year increments and can be renewed indefinitely. Before you accept an offer, confirm the employer will support renewals. Gaps in employer commitment mid-tenure create unnecessary status risk.

Find Service Tech JobsService Tech TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Service Tech role actually qualify for TN visa status?
It depends on how the position is defined. TN visa classification requires the role to fall within an approved USMCA occupation category and demand specialized knowledge tied to a relevant credential or degree. Service Tech roles in fields like industrial equipment, medical devices, or HVAC systems tend to qualify when the employer's offer letter clearly ties the duties to your technical training. Generalist repair roles without a credential requirement are harder to classify.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Service Tech jobs?
TN is significantly more practical for Canadian and Mexican Service Tech professionals. There's no annual lottery, no cap for Canadians, and Canadians can get approved at the port of entry the same day with the right documentation. H-1B requires employer sponsorship months in advance, has an 85,000 annual cap, and relies on a lottery you may not win. For a Service Tech role with a ready employer, TN is almost always the faster path.
Where can I find Service Tech employers open to TN visa sponsorship?
Most general job boards don't filter for visa sponsorship willingness, so you end up applying to roles where the employer won't support your status. Migrate Mate is built specifically for this: it surfaces Service Tech roles from employers already open to TN sponsorship, which cuts out the back-and-forth of discovering late in the process that a company won't sponsor.
What documents does a Canadian Service Tech need at the border for TN entry?
You need a valid Canadian passport, a detailed offer letter from your U.S. employer that specifies the TN category, your job duties, your start date, and your qualifications, plus supporting credential documents such as your degree or technical certifications. CBP will review all of these at the port of entry. Incomplete or vague documentation is the most common reason TN applications are deferred or denied at the border.
Can a Service Tech on TN status change employers?
Yes, but you can't simply start working for a new employer under your current TN approval. Each employer and role requires its own TN authorization. Canadians can get a new TN approved at the port of entry with a new offer letter. Mexican citizens need to apply at a U.S. consulate. You should not begin work for the new employer until the updated TN is approved.
