Job Description

About the Role

For those who’d rather be on the move than behind a desk. We’re opening our 2026 hiring pipeline now for curious, adaptable problem‑solvers who love travel, hands‑on work, and being part of a team that actually knows your name.

If you’re the kind of person who can laugh through flight delays, figure things out on the fly, and find satisfaction in solving complex problems, this might be your perfect fit.

Company Culture

We believe in transparency. Our four‑week paid training is designed to prepare technically skilled individuals for the field. Success in training requires a basic foundation in electrical systems, programming, and communication networking. If you’re new to these areas, this role may not yet be the right fit.

We’re a smaller, people‑first company where teamwork, adaptability, and humor are part of the job. All of our leaders have grown into their positions at ProAutomated, so your manager has done what they’re asking you to do. We hold each other to high standards, accept none of us are perfect, and push for excellence. You’ll be surrounded by people who have your back.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

Work + Travel, Combined. You’ll experience new cities, tackle unique projects, and earn all your own travel rewards while working directly with customers across North America. There is no office to report to, and you’ll be away from home while you’re working.

Fair Pay That Grows With You. We don’t have endless budgets, but we do have trust, teamwork, and appreciation of knowing every person by name.

Room to Grow. We invest in your development through paid training, annual merit raises, and a 5% salary increase after six months. Learn, advance, and build a career that can take you in multiple directions. We will be your biggest cheerleaders of growth, even if you’re not with ProAutomated forever.

Real Benefits + Real Flexibility. We take care of you, on and off the job.

A Team That Gives You Community. We hold each other to high standards, accept none of us are perfect, and push for excellence.

Application Instructions
