The company specializes in industrial surface treatment, blasting, tumbling, die casting, balancing, and related processes. Their customers are primarily within the manufacturing industry, where operational reliability, quality, and long-term partnerships are the focus.

KMC Ytbehandling AB is driven by finding innovative and sustainable solutions that strengthen customer competitiveness. As a local and reliable partner, they collaborate with some of Europe's leading machinery manufacturers and offer both machines, technical support, and high-level service.

They are now looking for a traveling service technician who wants to become an important part of the team and work with the service and installation of advanced industrial equipment for customers across Sweden.

About the Role

As a traveling service technician at KMC, you will have a varied and independent role where you are responsible for the installation, service, maintenance, and troubleshooting of their machines at customer sites. You will work with equipment including blasting, tumbling, surface treatment, die casting, and balancing.

The role involves extensive travel within Sweden and several nights in hotels per year. You will also travel to their suppliers in Europe for training, machine inspections, and technical reviews.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will primarily work with:

• Installation and commissioning of new machines.
• Mechanical maintenance, service, and repair of industrial machines.
• Troubleshooting and resolving urgent breakdowns.
• Preventive service, machine inspections, and maintenance according to the service plan.
• Upgrades and modernization of existing equipment.
• Technical documentation and reporting of completed work.
• Technical advice to customers regarding operation, maintenance, and improvements.
• Identification of spare parts needs and future upgrades.

We are looking for someone with a technical background and experience in mechanical maintenance, service, or installation within the industry. You should have a good understanding of industrial electricity, be able to read electrical diagrams, and have experience with troubleshooting. Experience with control systems or PLCs is a plus.

We would prefer that you have:

• Technical education at least at the upper secondary level in areas such as mechanics, electricity, automation, or equivalent.
• Experience in mechanical maintenance, service, and installation within the industry.
• Good knowledge of industrial electricity and troubleshooting.
• Ability to read drawings and technical documentation.
• A valid driver's license (Category B).
• Good command of Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

As a person, you are self-reliant, solution-oriented, and thrive in a job where you plan your daily routine and take significant personal responsibility. You are structured, detail-oriented, and easily build trust with customers. Since the role involves many days of travel, we look for someone who appreciates a mobile work environment and enjoys working in the field.

Other Information

The position involves travel throughout Sweden as well as some travel within Europe for training and supplier visits. The location is flexible, but we prefer that you reside in Stockholm, the Mälaren Valley, or Southern Sweden, as many of our customers are located in these areas.

A service vehicle will be based from your home when possible, and you will have access to modern tools and equipment that provide you with good conditions for success in the role.

KMC offers a stable workplace with long experience, good profitability, and high ambitions for the future.
