At Burwell Material Handling, we’re all about people — our team, our customers, and the communities we serve. What started as C & B Material Handling has grown into Burwell because of the people behind it. Every employee, every connection, and every customer relationship helped shape who we are today. We’ve built our reputation by delivering reliable equipment solutions, automation systems, and industrial sales and rentals with a personal touch—and we’re proud of the team that makes it all happen.
About The Role As a Field Service Technician with Burwell, you’ll be on the road each day, clocking in from your company‑provided service vehicle and heading to customer sites across Richmond, Ashland, Sandston, and Goochland. You’ll service and repair forklifts, pallet jacks, aerial lifts, and other equipment from top brands that keep warehouses running. You’ll work independently with a strong team behind you, receive ongoing training, and grow your career with a company that’s growing too.
