Our business is steadily growing, and we need engineers and technicians with a strong desire to grow with our company and be a team player. Tech Guardian values its employees and invests in their long-term growth. We expect our technicians to advance and grow in the company by certifying in a range of products and we compensate with pay raises with each certification. We provide paid technical training each week and we reimburse the cost of each passed certification. Every team member becomes a part of the Tech Guardian family and we frequently have team activities to maintain strong working relationships. Our employees work for Tech Guardian because they enjoy the atmosphere, the camaraderie and the challenge of solving new problems each day.
