field technician
Equipment maintenance worker
A field technician is someone who performs technical work at job sites rather than in an office or factory.
The term spans industries—telecommunications, HVAC, medical equipment, oil and gas—but always implies hands-on troubleshooting, installation, or maintenance where the equipment actually operates: The field technician arrived to repair the cell tower.
Distinguished from engineers or analysts who work remotely or design systems, field technicians are the ones who show up in person.
