Meet the Team

Our Field Service team continues to grow and evolve as we learn to serve you better. We’ve regionalized the team, led by Jefferson Reed. It now includes five territories each managed by a dedicated field service engineer. This model allows us to focus our attention on how we onboard service centers and to proactively support our dealer and service centers, ensuring the integrity of our network.

The Field Service team is your point of contact for any questions you may have about being part of the ROUSH CleanTech service network. If you’re having trouble working on a repair, have a technical question or simply want to talk to someone from our team, your regional Field Service Engineer is here to help.

Here are your supporting technicians:
