We're seeking an experienced Industrial Pump Mechanic for our Indianapolis service center.

The Role

• Vertical turbine pumps
• Air-operated diaphragm pumps

Occasional work on other types of pumps and rotating process equipment, including gearboxes, blowers, motors, valves, mixers/agitators, etc.
