Key skills for this role
DuraServ is looking for mechanically-minded problem-solvers ready to learn a trade, earn while they grow, and build a career with their hands.
DuraServ installs, services, and maintains the commercial dock and door systems that keep warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities running. Behind every system that works flawlessly is a technician who knew what to look for — and fixed it right the first time.
As a Technician Apprentice, you won't be watching from the sideline. You'll be on the job, learning from experienced technicians, getting hands-on with mechanical and electrical systems, and building the skills that define a career in the trades. DuraServ's ADVANCE training program gives you a structured path to grow — and the income keeps coming while you do it.
If you're mechanically curious, physically capable, and ready to work for something you can be proud of — this is your starting point.
Assist with the installation, service, and maintenance of commercial dock and door equipment under the direct guidance of experienced technicians
Participate in basic mechanical and electrical troubleshooting tasks — rolling doors, sectional doors, levelers, and dock equipment
Learn to safely use hand tools, power tools, and basic fabrication equipment to support installation and repair tasks
Study and apply technical manuals, wiring diagrams, and documentation alongside experienced teammates
Maintain a safe, clean job site and follow all OSHA safety protocols, PPE requirements, and fall protection standards
Skip the repetitive application forms
