You’ll also install, test, and calibrate gear to ensure peak performance, and help maintain electrical and electronic systems such as alarms, network gear, and computer peripherals as needed. Expect to work through scheduled maintenance tasks following established procedures, and keep accurate service records and documentation of your work. The role includes driving up to 30% of the time to support station locations, and you’ll take on other duties and projects as assigned.

Pay, benefits and practical details

The position is full-time and onsite in Baltimore, MD. It carries a pay rate of $21 hr and includes a full benefits package, medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, voluntary benefits, and a 401k with company match, so you’ll have solid coverage and future savings options. The job requires flexibility with hours and occasional overtime, and some travel to station locations across the state is expected. The role also involves physical tasks and the ability to handle lifting and other manual duties as described above.

Tips to win the role

First, shape your resume so the most important basics appear at the top: your high school diploma or equivalent and your valid driver's license with a clean driving record. If you’ve travelled for work before or supported multiple sites, call that out prominently so the travel requirement stands out early.

Second, prove you can handle the must-have skills: show your hands-on experience with testing equipment like digital voltmeters, and outline how you’ve used mechanical and electrical tools in real-world scenarios. Any concrete example of calibrating or maintaining emission-related gear will help tie your background to the role.

Third, prepare to discuss both independent work and documentation. Be ready with examples of times you worked without close supervision, kept accurate service records, and communicated findings clearly to customers or team members.

Finally, have a thoughtful question ready about supervision opportunities, given that supervisory experience is strongly preferred but not required. Asking how the company supports technicians who take on lead responsibilities can signal you’re ready to grow into more accountability while contributing today.
