Reef Tectonics (est. 1993) keeps aquariums and water features running beautifully for businesses and homes across Nebraska, Iowa, and the surrounding region. We're hiring a full-time, hands-on Field Service Technician based out of our Omaha location to service commercial and residential aquariums and handle light facilities repairs on a mobile route, with real schedule autonomy.

- Service and maintain fresh/saltwater aquariums: filtration, pumps, motors, lighting, water changes, and preventive maintenance.
- Install and relocate tanks, stands, and aquarium equipment.
- Service water walls, fountains, and water-purification systems.
- Handle general facilities/handyman tasks: minor HVAC (filters, basic repairs), plumbing/PVC, drains, lighting/ballasts, ceiling and floor tiles, and door hardware.
- Manage your own route around assigned work orders and keep simple digital records.
What you bring:
- Valid driver's license and a clean driving record (you'll drive a company service vehicle).
- Mechanical aptitude and comfort with hand and power tools; basic plumbing, electrical, and repair skills.
- Ability to lift up to 80 lbs and work in tight spaces.
- Reliability and self-direction; you manage your own schedule within work-order windows.
- Smartphone with a data plan and basic comfort using work-order apps.
