Service Technician Pay Range: $35.00 - $72.00/hour

We offer competitive pay—earn up to $72 per flat rate hour based on your certifications and experience—plus weekly pay guarantees for added stability. Enjoy up to 5 weeks of PTO with a cash-out option, no weekend work, and flexible scheduling to fit your lifestyle. Our monthly productivity bonus program allows technicians to earn up to an additional $2.00 per flat rate hour (FRH) turned, retroactive to the first hour once a threshold is met. If you average between 35.1 and 45 FRH in a month, you’ll earn an extra $0.50 per hour. For averages between 45.1 and 55 FRH, the bonus increases to $1.25 per hour. And for those who exceed 55 FRH in a month, you'll receive the full $2.00 bonus per hour turned. We also offer a flat rate guarantee to provide financial stability. If you clock at least 40 hours per week over the course of a month, you're guaranteed a monthly average of 25.5 FRH per week, based on the previous month’s total hours turned. For example, if you clocked 40 hours each week for four weeks, you would be guaranteed 102 FRH (25.5 hours x 4 weeks). If you actually turned 93.5 FRH, you would be paid the difference—8.5 hours—to ensure you hit your guaranteed rate. This reconciliation is processed and paid on or before the 15th of the following month. Paid time off increases with tenure. After one year of full-time employment, you’ll receive five vacation days, five sick/personal days, and six paid holidays. After two years, your vacation increases to ten days, while sick/personal and holiday time remain the same. Employees who reach ten years of service are rewarded with 15 vacation days, along with the standard five sick/personal days and six holidays. Additionally, we offer a PTO sell-back program for added flexibility. You may sell back vacation, sick/personal, holiday, and other PTO at your current hourly rate, based on eight hours per day. You can sell back up to 25% of your earned PTO each quarter, giving you the option to turn time off into additional income if you choose.
