Field Valve & Instrumentation Service Specialist

Picture your morning: you roll out in a Caltrol service truck, route planned for a customer site where a control valve is holding up production. You diagnose, repair, verify performance, and keep operations flowing—then head to the next site or swing by a Caltrol shop to refurbish actuators and instrumentation. That’s a day in the life of our Field Valve & Instrumentation Service Specialist.
