Doing this job remotely

This is not desk-based remote work. Technicians are usually home-based and drive a company vehicle to sites within an assigned area, so employers hire by location. Days are spent on site, with schedules set by dispatch and some on-call or after-hours coverage. Only paperwork, parts ordering, and phone support happen from home.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Technicians typically start from trade school, an apprenticeship, military service, or an entry-level maintenance job. With experience they become senior technicians or field service engineers, move into dispatch or service management, or take technical support and training roles.
