Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about the building maintenance work you have done. What trades are you strongest in?

What they are checking: Whether their skills cover the mix of repairs a freight terminal needs, like electrical, doors and plumbing.

Tell me about a repair where you had to figure out the problem with little help or documentation.

What they are checking: Whether they can troubleshoot on their own, since traveling techs often work without a team nearby.

How do you keep track of materials, receipts and work completed when you are on the road?

What they are checking: Whether they stay organized and accountable while working away from home base.

What would you do

This role travels for 5 to 10 day trips with 12-hour shifts on the road. How does that schedule work for you?

What they are checking: Whether they can handle the travel the posting describes, which is a big part of the job.

You arrive at a terminal in another state and find more work than you can finish on the trip. How do you decide what to do first?

What they are checking: Whether they prioritize safety and operations-critical repairs and report what is left clearly.

How do you work around a busy terminal while it is still operating?

What they are checking: Whether they coordinate with terminal managers to stay safe and avoid stopping freight flow.

About the work

Dock doors and dock levelers take a beating at a freight terminal. What experience do you have repairing them?

What they are checking: Whether they can fix the equipment that keeps a terminal running, since a broken door stops freight.

What electrical work are you qualified and comfortable doing, and where do you draw the line?

What they are checking: Whether they know their limits and follow safe practices and code instead of guessing on electrical work.

How do you lock out equipment before working on it?

What they are checking: Whether they follow lockout and tagout every time, which prevents serious injuries.

What tools do you have, and do you have a valid driver's license for travel?

What they are checking: Whether they are equipped and able to travel and work independently from day one.
