About Us

Sylvester's Dock and Door Service, fast-growing building maintenance company serving commercial customers across the D.C. area. With over 10 years in the facility maintenance industry, we have grown from a company of one to a team of 40+ employees — including service technicians, office support staff, and sales representatives.

The Role

We are seeking a Door Technician based out of our Chesapeake, VA office to perform a variety of service calls for our commercial customers. Working safely and efficiently, you will install, maintain, and repair high-speed doors, sectional doors, operators, gates, dock levelers, and related equipment.

You will be assigned a company-provided service truck and will travel daily throughout the Washington DC metro region and surrounding areas, with some additional travel as needed. Most of your work will be performed independently, though you may occasionally work as part of a small team on larger projects. You will be issued a company phone and tablet and will use a digital work order system to manage your calls.

What You'll Do

• Diagnose, service, and repair commercial doors, high-speed doors, sectional doors, operators, dock levelers, and gate systems
• Install new equipment and components at customer sites
• Maintain accurate digital work orders and communicate job status in real time
• Uphold safety standards on every job site
• Represent Sylvester's professionally with every customer interaction
• Participate in on-call rotation as needed

What We're Looking For

• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Two (2) or more years of recent experience as a Door Technician preferred
• Welding experience a plus
• Valid driver's license and a safe driving history
• Ability to meet customer site access requirements, which may include a background check (see below)

Note on Background Checks:

Some of our commercial customers — including government contractors and secured facilities common to the DC metro area — require vendors to comply with their facility access policies, which may include a background check. Any background screening is conducted in accordance with applicable federal and state law and is evaluated on a case-by-case basis relevant to the specific role and customer requirement.

Compensation

The hourly pay range for this position is $25.00 - $35.00 per hour, commensurate with experience and qualifications. 

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family, effective the first of the month following one (1) months of employment — Sylvester's covers the majority of premiums, and employee contributions are pre-tax
• Company-paid life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D)
• Option to purchase additional life insurance coverage
• Company-paid Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
