- Participate fully in peer-shadowing modules and safety reviews, collaborating with Senior Field Engineers during the initial 3-10 day supervised onboarding and training assessment window., * Response Efficiency: Respond to local dispatch updates promptly, maintaining alignment with contract response windows (under 4 hours average).
- Callback Minimization: Minimize equipment repeat calls by ensuring exhaustive mechanical testing prior to job-ticket closure.
