Step into the field with LECO Picture a typical week: you start near Memphis, TN, head out to a customer site in Arkansas to complete a preventive maintenance visit on a metallography system, then cross into Mississippi for a software upgrade and operator training on an analytical instrument. By Friday, you're wrapping up a tricky troubleshooting call that turns into a satisfied customer and a strengthened relationship. That's life as a Field Engineer with LECO. About the role This is a full-time, remote, salaried position with frequent travel. You will be the customer-facing expert who keeps LECO's analytical and metallographic instruments performing at their best in the field. You'll spend most days at customer facilities, traveling up to five days per week, with more extensive travel when needed. Primary service territory includes Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, with additional trips to nearby regions as required. The ideal candidate lives near Memphis, TN. To welcome you aboard, this position offers a $5,000 signing bonus. What you'll do Own the service lifecycle in the field—preventive/general maintenance, breakdown repair, diagnostics, and corrective actions—on LECO analytical and metallographic systems. Install new instruments, perform updates, and apply upgrade kits to keep customer systems current. Deliver hands-on and classroom-style training covering theory, instrument operation, software use, and care/maintenance best practices. Execute all work to LECO's ISO accreditation standards, documenting activities accurately and completely. Where you'll grow Start with 3-5 months of instrumentation training at LECO Corporation in St. Joseph, Michigan. Shadow and learn alongside experienced Field Service Engineers across the country.
