Career advancement - Individuals excelling in this role could move into a role as Senior Field Maintenance Technician or Field Service Manager in the future.

Travel – For the first 6-8 months, they will be in the field 75% - 80% of the time since this is how they will learn the product best.  Once they gain that knowledge, travel will start to taper down. Their hope is to get everyone down to that ideal 30% as soon as possible, but it will take time to get there and some may sit in the 30-50% range for a while.
