Not Your Typical Maintenance Job – Big Machines. Wind Turbines, Tough Jobs. Different Challenges.
Why L&H Industrial?
Tired of doing the same repairs, working on the same equipment, or being limited to one trade?
At L&H Industrial, our Field Service Technicians do more than maintain equipment. We travel throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, repairing and rebuilding some of the largest industrial machines in the world.
Our crews bring the capabilities of an entire industrial repair shop directly to the customer.
We inspect it, tear it apart, repair structural damage, machine components back to specification, and put it all back together.
One day you might be cleaning grease from a massive piece of mining equipment. The next, you could be performing major weld repairs, setting up precision field machining equipment, or rebuilding a complex mechanical assembly.
We don't just need someone who can turn a wrench or strike an arc. We're looking for tradespeople who enjoy figuring out how things work and take pride in fixing them.
Field Service offers an opportunity to expand your abilities in industrial mechanics, welding, fabrication, and precision machining while working alongside experienced tradespeople.
If you enjoy challenging work, traveling, solving problems, and learning new skills, we'd like to talk with you.
