-Yes. We are a dealership for equipment manufacturers and have multiple avenues for technical career paths. Each OEM has minimum requirements for yearly continuing education for technicians, and Sonsray has its own internal requirements for technician training that go beyond the minimum OEM standards.

-Technicians have an opportunity to advance their careers every 6 months. The requirements to achieve these advancements are based on training certifications as well as a performance metric based on the technical ability that the technician develops while on the job. This growth covers first-time apprentice technicians to Master level field technicians and contains up to 12 achievement levels in between, as well as opportunities for 24-hour emergency service and an option for flat-rate pay programs.

-Each technician has the opportunity every six months to pursue the next level in the career path. This level would be reviewed by the Service Manager, and considered to be achieved if all technical training has been accomplished and the technician has achieved the acceptable level of repair efficiency prescribed by the technician's pursued certification level. There is also an annual review process that goes over the technician's employment through the lens of Sonsray's core values of Integrity, Passion, People, Solutions, and Success.

-Most Sonsray shops have a Foreman, whose duty it is to ensure that all technicians are performing to the best of their ability and provide feedback to the service writers and service managers about the progress of the technicians. This may include assigning Less experienced techs to work with seasoned techs on higher-level tasks. In shops without a foreman, the Service Manager will handle this task. Or equipment manufacturers have done an excellent job facilitating the building of skills by offering hands-on training that may be provided by the service manager of the OEM directly.
