Biomedical Technician Assistant

Start a Career in Biomedical Equipment Service

Medical Application Repair & Sales (MARS) is looking for a dependable, mechanically inclined person who wants to start a career in the biomedical equipment field.

You do not need years of biomedical experience for this position.

We are looking for someone who is willing to learn, enjoys working with their hands, and wants a job where every day is a little different.

This is an entry-level position designed to work alongside our experienced biomedical technicians. You will travel with technicians to hospitals, surgery centers, physician offices, and other medical facilities throughout the Southeast, helping with equipment inspections, repairs, installations, and service projects.

As you learn the equipment and our processes, we want this position to grow into a Biomedical Equipment Technician role with increasing independence and responsibility.

What You'll Do

You'll serve as an extra set of hands for our biomedical service team, including:

Travel with and assist MARS biomedical technicians on service calls and projects

Help load, unload, transport, and organize tools and medical equipment

Assist technicians with preventive maintenance inspections and equipment repairs

Help with equipment installations, removals, and replacements

Drive company vehicles between MARS and customer facilities

Pick up and deliver equipment, parts, and supplies

Help prepare tools, parts, and equipment for upcoming service jobs

Clean, organize, and maintain the service area, shop, and company vehicles

Assist with receiving, unpacking, testing, and preparing equipment

Learn how to identify, inspect, troubleshoot, and service different types of medical equipment

Help wherever needed around the MARS office and service department

Equipment You'll Have the Opportunity to Learn

Depending on the project, you may work alongside our technicians on equipment such as:

Sterilizers and autoclaves

Patient monitors

Anesthesia machines

Medical gas systems

Surgical equipment

Ultrasound systems

OR tables

Defibrillators

General biomedical equipment

We don't expect you to know how to work on all of this when you start. We'll teach you.

Who We're Looking For

This could be a great fit if you:

Enjoy taking things apart, fixing things, or figuring out how things work

Are mechanically or technically inclined

Are dependable and show up when you're supposed to

Are comfortable driving and traveling throughout the region

Don't mind getting your hands dirty

Can lift and move equipment with assistance

Are comfortable working in hospitals, surgery centers, and other healthcare environments

Can communicate professionally with customers and coworkers

Are willing to learn from experienced technicians

Have a valid driver's license and a good driving record

Want a position where you can develop a skilled trade and build a long-term career

Experience with automotive repair, maintenance, HVAC, electrical work, electronics, mechanical equipment, military technical work, or similar hands-on fields is a plus, but biomedical experience is not required.

What This Position Can Become

We are not looking for someone to stay an assistant forever.

Our goal is to train the right person to become increasingly comfortable working with medical equipment and eventually progress into a Biomedical Equipment Technician capable of performing inspections, troubleshooting equipment, completing repairs, and handling service calls independently.

If you're mechanically inclined, dependable, and willing to learn, we'll provide the opportunity to develop the technical skills.

About MARS

Medical Application Repair & Sales is a growing medical equipment service and sales company based in Lexington, South Carolina. We work with surgery centers, physician practices, and other healthcare facilities throughout the Southeast.

Our technicians work on a wide variety of equipment, so this isn't a job where you'll spend every day doing the exact same thing. One day may involve helping repair a sterilizer, the next installing equipment at a surgery center, and another assisting with preventive maintenance inspections.

If you're looking for a hands-on job where you can learn a specialized technical trade and grow with the company, we'd like to hear from you.
