About Fischer & Tencarva
Fischer Process Industries, founded in 1957, is a premier distributor and service provider of pumps and fluid process equipment. In 2022, Fischer became a division of Tencarva Machinery Company, a company founded in 1978 that has never had a layoff and manages downturns without cutting staff. Tencarva operates 38 locations across 17 states, providing end-to-end, whole-system solutions for over 18,000 active customers across verticals including industrial, municipal water/wastewater, power generation, oil/gas, mining, and automotive.
We pride ourselves on offering big-company resources with a small shop feel. Our culture is family-oriented, respecting life outside of work, and we prioritize quality over speed. While we move with urgency for our customers, we do not run a high-pressure production shop or sacrifice the integrity of our repairs for speed. Our expectations are high but realistic and sustainable.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Pump Mechanic for our Loveland service center. This is a rebuild-focused position, distinct from general maintenance or production roles. Approximately 70% of the work is shop-based, centered on the hands-on tear-down, rebuild, and testing of industrial pumps and rotating equipment to OEM standards. The remaining 30% involves occasional field work for troubleshooting, laser alignments, and equipment installation or removal.
You will regularly work on self-priming centrifugal pumps, mag drive pumps, vertical turbine pumps, and air-operated diaphragm pumps (with Gorman-Rupp as the primary line). You will also encounter other rotating process equipment, including gearboxes, blowers, motors, valves, and mixers. This role is designed for candidates who can independently manage full tear-down and rebuild projects from initial inspection through final testing.
Why Join Us
Join a team that values stability and work-life balance. We offer a day shift, Monday–Friday schedule with only occasional evenings or weekends for customer emergencies. The workload is stable and steady, avoiding the seasonal fluctuations common in other industries. We provide a supportive environment where you can grow into increased responsibility over time while working in a clean, organized, and safety-focused shop.
Equal Opportunity
Tencarva Machinery Company, LLC, is an equal opportunity employer. All aspects of employment, including hiring, promotion, discipline, and discharge, are based on merit, competence, performance, and business needs.
