No confusion.</p><p>We show up, solve problems, and do the work the right way. Whether you're supporting customers in the field, building systems behind the scenes, or helping drive the business forward, you'll be part of a team that values reliability, accountability, and getting the job done.</p><p>Simple - Reliable - Done Right!</p><p></p><h3><span><strong id="docs-internal-guid-9c8603bc-7fff-30a5-7bf1-01631bce7299">The Role</strong></span></h3><p><span>The Equipment Buyer owns the acquisition of new and used rental fleet assets and power distribution equipment for JC Davis Power.
