Program Details
This opportunity would be a good fit for individuals who are comfortable in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. Becoming a Local Independent Technician requires a highly motivated individual that is willing and able to perform physical labor. We are looking for candidates who have a strong ability to manage time, resources and money. These candidates also display effective organizational skills as this is not a structured position. As a customer-facing position, we look for candidates who express salesmanship qualities such as the ability to communicate efficiently and effectively as well as a cheerful and willing disposition.
For experienced technicians, we created an excel track to get them up and running in as little as three days. Once you have been accepted into the excel track, you will spend three days in a field test within your desired market. This short trial period allows you to prove your skills and learn what it takes to become an OGD® contractor.
We encourage you to explore this website. As you advance through the interview process you will also have access to discuss the program in further detail with one of our hiring specialists. Of course, we are always available to answer any questions you may have, feel free to reach out to us at any time.
