Field Computer Specialist

If you are detail-oriented, relish variety and feel at home around all kinds of technology, consider becoming U-Haul Company’s newest Field Computer Specialist. In this role you will be responsible for all computer and security systems in your area, traveling from place to place to maintain equipment and train users. In exchange U-Haul provides excellent perks and benefits as well as a caring company culture.

Computer Support Specialist - Full-time

This position involves providing support for all technology, electronics, and security matters within 802. It is a hands-on role, not a desk job, and the list of responsibilities provided below is not exhaustive. The position requires a valid driver's license with a clean driving record. A company-provided van, tools, necessary personal electronic devices, and a company-paid mobile phone will be supplied.

Required

The regular work week is typically Monday through Friday, but occasional Saturdays or Sundays may be required, depending on need. The ideal candidate is someone who is very handy, not afraid of heights, and has some experience with:

• Electrical 120v and low voltage wiring, including conduit work
• Windows PCs/tablets and printer installation, troubleshooting, maintenance
• iOS devices including iPhone and iPad troubleshooting
• Networking, including Voip, wiring, router/switch installation
• Burglar alarms systems including wiring & device installation, troubleshooting, etc.
• PTI access control systems, including wiring & device installation, troubleshooting, etc
• Security camera systems, DVR/NVRs, coax and IP, including wiring and camera installation, troubleshooting, and TV wall mounting.
• Door hardware and lock installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance.

I don't expect a candidate to be an expert in all these areas, but more experience is certainly an advantage. Some training will be provided through hands-on work with others in this role and in neighboring areas. Physical and technical support will be available for certain projects and may sometimes include assistance from FMT, MCP, other CSSs, and occasionally, an electrician. However, I expect the hired candidate to be willing and ultimately able to perform all of the duties mentioned and more. While experience and knowledge of U-Haul business and systems is beneficial, it is not required.

About Us

Since 1945, U-Haul has been serving do-it-yourself movers and their households. Like many other successful ventures, the concept for U-Haul was generated out of need. After World War II, there existed the widespread need for do-it-yourself moving equipment that would be available on a one-way, nationwide basis.

U-Haul co-founders L.S. "Sam" Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen, recognized that need and acted upon it. Their visionary approach spread the cost of ownership among many users, facilitating the mobility of the populations of the U.S. and Canada. The covered wagon of the pioneers morphed into orange U-Haul trailers. In the process, an industry was born.

U-Haul Holding Company and its family of companies, including U-Haul, have strived to create a culture of health and wellness. As of February 1, 2020, and consistent with applicable law, no U-Haul Holding Company or its family of companies will hire individuals in states where it may lawfully decline to hire individuals who use nicotine products (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Washington). This policy will not apply to team members hired before February 1, 2020.
