If you are used to only just working on equipment in a shop environment be prepared to deal with customers. Although your field service manager does handle customer concerns you will be the first line of communication with a customer. You will need to set up appointments and be in communication with customers such as giving updates. There will be plenty of learning opportunities to work on how to communicate with customers and plenty of mistakes will be made on the way. There will be plenty of "paperwork" involved in this job along with working on equipment. You will need to learn how to balance time to work on lift trucks, do paperwork, communicate with customers, and be a part of weekly meetings. Scheduling your time is a week by week case; you will need to plan ahead of time to make sure you are efficient with your time while keeping customers happy. With that said I did find balancing all of this to be a bit stressful, but I was told by superiors that it can take over 2 years to really get use to doing all of this which I would agree with.
On another note, I did feel that the compensation may have been slightly low, but don't forget that you will be driving a company vehicle which will save a lot on fuel and maintenance.
Be prepared to drive up to over an hour away from home sometimes. End times are subject to change depending on how long it takes to fix a piece of equipment.
