Our service offerings include system analysis and design, applications engineering, custom fabrication of equipment packages, automation and controls, equipment remanufacturing, and thermal hard coatings.

The Role

This is a rebuild-focused position - not a production maintenance role. You will disassemble, inspect, diagnose, rebuild, and test a variety of industrial pumps and rotating equipment to OEM standards.

You will regularly work on:

• Self-priming centrifugal pumps
• Mag drive pumps
• Vertical turbine pumps
• Air-operated diaphragm pumps

*Gorman-Rupp is primary pump line

*Occasional work on other types of pumps and rotating process equipment, including gearboxes, blowers, motors, valves, mixers/agitators, etc.

Key Responsibilities:

• Disassemble and inspect customer equipment
• Diagnose root cause of failure
• Prepare repair scopes and parts requirements
• Rebuild pumps and rotating equipment to OEM standards
• Replace bearings, seals, shafts, impellers, and wear components
• Perform laser alignment
• Assist with field troubleshooting, equipment removal, installation, and start-up
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safety-focused shop environment
• Coordinate with service & sales leadership on job timelines and parts requirements.

Please note: This is a hands-on industrial pump repair and rebuild role within an OEM-authorized service center - not a general maintenance technician position.

Why Join Fischer/Tencarva

• Day shift, Monday–Friday schedule; occasional evenings or weekends only for customer emergencies
• Long-term company stability - Tencarva (founded in 1978) has never had a layoff and does not manage downturns by cutting people

• Primarily shop-based work
• Big-company resources with a small shop feel
• Real opportunity to grow into increased responsibility over time
