  • Identify and report issues and escalate technical or operational errors promptly to the appropriate teams for resolution.

What You'll Bring

  • Hands-on technical or mechanical aptitude. You must be comfortable performing light maintenance and troubleshooting.
  • Strong communication, interpersonal skills and customer obsession — you represent Zipline to our partners onsite.
  • A proactive, customer-first mindset with a high sense of ownership and accountability.
  • Ability to work independently and travel between Zipping Points as needed.
  • Prior experience in a field support, maintenance, or service technician role preferred.

Qualifications

  • Current driver’s license and clean driving record within the last 36 months.
  • Vehicle required.
  • Must be able to lift 50 lbs.
  • Must have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Flexibility to travel or commute to other regional sites as needed.
  • Ability to work Tue-Sat or Thur-Sun.
  • Commit to a 6 month contract with an opportunity to move into a full time position.
