Sounds interesting, but where are you located, what is your phone#, and URL?

Apologies for not posting contact info.
please send all inquiries, resumes, and related information to:
jobs4lloyd@gmail. com
The job location is not set as it is more important to find the right person than the right location. Also the expected range of travel is significant regardless of location.
Let's see...
Long hours, weeks away from home, working weekends. All that and $15 an hour! Where do I sign up?
How much per diem per day? How much vacation? Paid by hour or Salary? Is drive time paid for? Etc.
Lloyd,
I gotta give credit where credit is due. At least you put it all out there. Anyone reading that ad knows exactly where they stand. Personally, I think the salary you quote ($45-$60k) would only cover the calibration portion of the job. The comission should be on top of that. Basically, you are asking a qualified technician (one who can command $45-$60k) to sell your medical equipment for free. Count me out. But the upside is that you were up front about it and this prevents us both from wasting each other's time discussing the terms of a deal only to have it fall apart at the end because you aren't willing to pay me what I'm worth. I appreciate that. The good news is that you are in a buyer's market right now so you should be able to find somebody willing to work for that.

Not that I'm interested, but it does say:
"Additional commission based on Equipment Sales"
So they are paying extra for equipment sales.
Snap,
You obviously missed my point. I acknowledged that they pay comission on equipment sales. My point was that the $45-$60k total salary (cal portion + sales) that they quote is low. I contend that the $45-$60k is what the cal portion alone is worth. Therefore, I believe that they are essentially trying to get the equipment sales for free.

The way I read it is 30k per year base plus 10% commision on calibration work = 45 to 60 k per year. Plus an additional commision on sales of new equipment.
That is correct, the base salary is 30k, and with the 10% commission on cal it would be a 45 to 60K/year job. The sales is a very small portion of the job, I wish I could think of a word other than sales for it. The intention is more along the lines of while you're there you would make a case of equipment available to the biomeds onsite, drop of some literature and answer any passing questions you feel comfortable with while directing the rest to our sales department. The commission is low as the sales effort is not expected to be great, but it also prevents any debate over who "made the sale" allowing us to reward commission to the tech for all sales coming out of the visited site within reason. This can easily result in another 5-10k/year with minimal effort.
We realize the pay may be lower than many may expect, but in reality we are looking for someone without years of experience in a specialty. Basic training in the fundamentals of metrology and its guiding principles are what we are looking for. The training for this position will be extensive, and paid, as the equipment under test is specialized and wide in scope, so many of you with a lot of experience may fall under the "killing a fly with a cannon" category and understandably not be interested.
I appreciate the responses and suggestions. Thank you.
