Service Territory & Dispatch
Allied Water Services serves customers throughout a broad service territory. Candidates from Kankakee County and surrounding communities are encouraged to apply, as are candidates from other areas within our service region.
A company vehicle and dispatch-from-home schedule allow technicians to be strategically positioned throughout our territory to improve response times and operational efficiency. The ideal candidate should reside within a reasonable distance of our service area and be capable of responding to scheduled and emergency service calls when required.
Who We're Looking For:
We are not looking for someone who simply replaces parts.
We are seeking a professional with a proven track record of diagnosing problems, building customer trust, identifying appropriate repair opportunities, and producing results through maintenance, service, repair, and replacement work.
The successful candidate will be capable of operating independently, managing their workload efficiently, and contributing to the continued growth of Allied Water Services.
