What this role is

Performs routine maintenance and repair tasks on drilling, well, and pipeline equipment under general guidance. At the Support Specialist (S2) level, the role owns a defined queue or customer set, standard issues within known procedures, and drives customer satisfaction for own queue. None.

What this level does

Install, maintain, and repair equipment in the field across a variety of standard job types, recognizing when a task requires deviation from the usual step
Diagnose common equipment/engine problems using multimeters and schematics, and perform the associated repairs achievable on site
Locate and order parts as required, coordinating with parts-drivers to get components to the work site to keep the job moving
Provide preventive maintenance and technical service at customer locations, managing on-site install, repair and testing for assigned callouts
Log completed work in the CMMS and maintain the field service truck's stock and calibration of test equipment

Knowledge applied: Broad knowledge of maintenance routines across varied standard equipment; applies acquired skills to multi-step install, repair and PM tasks.
Complexity & problem solving: Semi-routine, multi-step callouts; diagnoses common faults and recognizes when a situation calls for occasional deviation from standard steps.
Collaboration & interaction: Follows procedures with instruction on genuinely new task types; routine coordination with parts-drivers and peers; direct customer service contact.
Typical experience: 1–2 years; some related field service experience.

Skills at this level

Equipment Troubleshooting and Diagnosis: — Diagnoses problems with field equipment and engines by interpreting symptoms, test readings and equipment history, and determines the proper repair path and which repairs are achievable on site.
Field Repair and Servicing: — Tests, repairs and services technical equipment at customer locations, managing on-site installation, repair, maintenance and testing to return equipment to working condition during the visit.
Preventive Maintenance: — Performs scheduled preventive maintenance and inspections on field equipment to keep it running reliably and to identify emerging faults before failure.
Schematic and Blueprint Interpretation: — Reads blueprints, wiring diagrams and schematics to trace circuits, locate components and follow the correct sequence when repairing or installing equipment.
Electrical Test Instrument Use: — Uses multimeters and related test instruments to measure voltage, continuity and resistance in order to isolate electrical faults during field diagnosis.
Parts Identification and Coordination: — Identifies the correct replacement parts for a repair, locates and orders them, and coordinates with parts-drivers to get components delivered to the work site.
CMMS Record-Keeping: — Logs work performed, parts consumed and maintenance history in the Computerized Maintenance Management System, and completes accurate job reports for each callout.
Field Service Truck Stock Management: — Maintains equipment, spare parts and calibrated tools stocked in the company field service truck so callouts can be completed without return trips.
Root Cause Analysis: — Performs advanced troubleshooting on critical or chronic equipment failures to identify the underlying cause and prevent recurrence, rather than only clearing the immediate fault.
Cabling and Fiber Optics: — In telecom/IT field work, performs cabling, wire folding and cable pulling with basic routing, working with high- and low-density fiber optical systems, copper and RF transport devices.
Field Safety and Quality Compliance: — Ensures work complies with safety regulations and quality standards at every stage of on-site execution and validates system performance and reliability through field tests.
On-Site Customer Service: — Responds to customer callouts, communicates repair status and provides technical training to customers on newly installed or serviced equipment.
Technical Documentation: — Develops detailed technical reports, service notes and maintenance schedules that document non-routine repairs and support reuse by other technicians.
Maintenance Procedure Development: — Contributes to the creation of standardized maintenance procedures, PM schedules and troubleshooting guides, and trains maintenance teams on how to perform equipment maintenance.

Pay across the ladder

Field Maintenance — median with , by . Real canon data.

National-base pricing — this family's function differential is pending review, so dollar levels are not function-adjusted (level-over-level % is unaffected).

Pay figures are modeled estimates from our market equation — level-differentiated, with honest-wide bands. They refresh as new leveling evidence lands; treat per-role dollars as directional.

Demand — is the field growing, or just turning over?

Field Maintenance Technician

Field Maintenance

The swatch is JobFrame's core primitive: a hueset deterministically by the role's superfunction, the profileKey as its color code, the level ladder, and a content fingerprint. Two swatches that look alike are alike.

Because every role carries computable coordinates, similarity, leveling, and pricing become measurable instead of arguable— the whole point of "Pantone for jobs."

Structural

structural@1

Where it sits— position in the work taxonomy + level (weighted Gower, level > function > focus).

Universal level: 2 / 8

Content

content@2

What it's about— a fingerprint over the role's tasks & capabilities.

Two roles can sit far apart structurally yet be close in content — that gap is itself a signal.

3-state matching

How any two swatches compare — a real distance in coordinate space, resolved to a calibrated verdict (never a fake "94% match").

How to read this profile

Every number here is traceable — to a named source, a stated method, and an as-of date — and each value is labeled by how we know it: observed from data, computed by a model, projected forward, or governed canon. Nothing is a black box, and nothing is invented to fill a gap.

The principles behind the numbers

Ranges, not false precision

Pay is P10 · median · P90, never a single misleading number.

Three honest states, never a fake %

Role matches resolve to confident / review / no-match — a calibrated verdict, not a made-up percentage.

Provenance on every value

Each number carries whether it's observed, computed, projected, or canon — so you always know how much to lean on it.

Gaps shown as gaps

When a figure isn't available at the grain you need, we say so — we don't fabricate a number to fill the cell.

Frozen, versioned editions

Pay and coordinate editions are pinned, so a comparison you make today still means the same thing next quarter.

Privacy by min-N

Any aggregate over people is suppressed below a minimum count, so no individual is identifiable.
