Was recently offered a job as a travel field service agent I’ll be helping field service technicians with medical equipment. I’m excited.
Glad to hear Charles, hope this was helpful
Love It!
Thanks Bradlee !
Great video! That Josh guy sounds like a cool cat!
He sure is !
Great vedio, i'm same like you working as a FSE in india
I am currently a young FSE and so far travelling with tools is one of my set backs because of the tool kits size. But I still manage.
It’s not the best if you like to travel lightly, but it is a necessity.
Thinking about taking the FSE route myself with a biotech company based out of Illinois. Maybe same one you work for. I've never done FSE work but 1) I like to work with my hands, 2) I like to fix things, 3) I like to meet new people and 4) I like to travel. Just worried about too much travel....
Based on the things you enjoy, it sounds like being an FSE would be a good fit. You should definitely ask the expected travel percentage prior to taking the position to make sure it is the right fit for you.
Best of luck 3BG!
@@untitledlabel Thanks for the reply! Travel is about 50% of the position. They said about 45-48 hours per week total pay work (incl. travel). Only 1-2 max single overnights a month. Sure hope that's true as that's my upper limit to be honest. You can't really tell a job until you are in it and working for a couple months.
@@threeboysgarage my position started out at about 50% but over time and as we have hired more people it has slowed down to about 30% now. My best advice is at least give it a shot as it might be something you can manage.
Also make the most out of your travels if you do have to travel.
Have worked field service in various forms and capacities for over 20yrs. I NEVER had time to enjoy what cities had to offer.It was always work,go eat,go sleep,go travel. When I was 100% independent contractor there was more wiggle room on free time but the expenses were on me. What I found works best for me is being a W2 employee on call 24/7, driving only in my home state territory, guaranteed 40hrs pay,personal vehicle use with mileage pay. Zero headaches, zero rush. Service calls that last between 15min and 2hrs max- very rare overnighters(rare installs). Of course it doesn't hurt when I get called out an avg of only 3 times/month. The tradeoff is I MUST respond within 15 min. And job be completed within 12 hrs. Parts are expedited to site immediately by courier.
Good to know and also insightful getting another look at the position. The company you work for also plays key role as everyone places by different rules.
Very very true, been an FSE for 30 years in bio med field travelled all over europe, airport lab hotel, eat sleep repeat rarely had a chance for any sightseeing
2:26 for the juicy stuff
Great information. Looking to land a field service tech/engineer job with a health care company that is 100% travel. Without having a degree but having hands on experience in other fields, how can I stand out in the interview process?
Thank you! My biggest push for the employer I worked for was good time / self management and independence.
Hello fellow shipmate,
I am a Navy veteran as well and was just offered a position as a FSE for a major company involving turbines. I'm also based out of Houston and wanted to ask you what your travel percentage is for your field? But also, what do you do when you are not on the road for clients? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work on the videos!
For my company it is about 60/40 at the moment. 60 towards being local to Houston. When I am not on the road I have admin days to take care of all the behind the scenes work. Sorry for the late response.
Is this company seimens? I am also looking at the FSC position! If you are currently working for them still, or in their training how do you like it?
Hey man!! I would like to know if I can get knowledge in PLC as an service engineer?
I’m pretty sure it would depend on the industry. I work in Biotech so not a lot of PLCs.
Thanks for responding. I will be working in the manufacturing I will do some plc troubleshooting but later I would like to switch to control engineer.
@@Laye_Mouskalaf use it as a good learning opportunity ! you'll be successful if you stay focused.
Just wondering if you have a wife and kids a travel FSE? If so how does that work for you?
Hey Dwayne, I have a wife and dog at the moment. It can be tricky but we have experience with me being on travel as I come from the NAVY and have had numerous underways and deployments.
Want kids, so that would be an experience to share.
Hello, 🙂
I am studying IT networking.
Can you please tell me how many Networking professionals are there in your company approximately? and is it a good profession?
It is a good profession, one I definitely recommend. However I do not work with a lot of IT based grads. Reason being is the work I do is more so mechanical / electrical rather than software and program based.
I’m working on that .. can I get your email pls
Hey man. I just retired from the Navy myself and and accepted a job as a FSE, also in bio tech. Question for ya, what is the best way you have found to fly with your tools? Tool box type? Organization? I understand using CZcams as a practice tool, I do Twitch for myself. Thanks.
my company gives us Pelican Air tool kits to put our stuff in. I usually just check that tool kit in and make sure it is locked. I have loyalty status with United Airlines so my check bags are free. Organization is really going to vary based on the person, but for me I have two tools kits for 4 different pieces of equipment. I've packed 2 for my flowcytometer equipment and another tool kit for me cell separation equipment. Hope this is helpful!
Pelican case all day. Sometimes I have to re-distribute tools into my personal bag but mostly Southwest makes it easy.
What is a field service engineer?
It's a service profession. You as an FSE are responsible for maintenance and upkeep of the equipment you specialize in. For me it is bio-medical equipment.
@@untitledlabel so I just applied for a large bio company, I have been a field tech for 12 years and am a little older, is it pretty rewarding work. Do you mind giving a hint of what company you are with.
@@mattmcalester8939 I work with Miltenyi Biotec
Please nobody wants to get in this career. Just so i have more opportunities...Just dont apply for this kind of jobs bros...

Pun intended bro...joke..😂
