Band Instrument Repair Technician – New Graduate Opportunity
Location: 5420 S. Green Street, Murray, Utah 84123 (Salt Lake City metro)
Employment: Full-Time

About the role
Summerhays Music Center is seeking a Band Instrument Repair Technician who is completing or has recently completed a band instrument repair program and is ready to step into a busy, professional shop. This position is designed for early career technicians who want daily bench time, clear expectations, and the chance to work directly under experienced industry veterans who will help refine and expand their skills.

About Summerhays Music Center
Summerhays Music Center is a NAMM Top 100 dealer and one of Utah’s oldest established family-owned music stores, with one of the region’s largest selections of band and orchestral string instruments plus a wide variety of other instruments and accessories. The main location in Murray is in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley, with quick access to mountain resorts, hiking and biking trails, a vibrant arts scene, professional sports, and nearby attractions like Lagoon amusement park—making it easy to balance work, music, and outdoor life.

Key responsibilities

• Evaluate and repair band instruments brought in by customers and local schools, with guidance and feedback from senior technicians.
• Perform regular maintenance and repair on company-owned rental instruments to keep them in reliable, student-ready playing condition.
• Inspect new instruments for store stock, ensuring quality standards are met before they reach customers.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workbench and help care for shared shop equipment.
• Communicate clearly with internal staff (and, as you grow, with customers) about repair needs, recommendations, and timelines.
• Keep accurate records of repairs, estimates, and maintenance tasks using shop systems.
• • Collaborate with experienced technicians and the Repair Shop Coordinator during busy school seasons, step-up events, and store promotions.

Training and mentorship

• Work side by side with seasoned repair technicians who have extensive experience in school service and professional repair.
• Receive structured feedback on your bench test, early jobs, and new techniques to help bridge the gap between school projects and real world shop work.
• Build confidence moving from student-level projects to high-volume, time-sensitive school repairs with support rather than being left on your own.
• Progress over time into more advanced work, including professional level instruments, specialty projects, and select vintage restorations as skills and readiness are demonstrated

Qualifications

• Graduation (or near graduation) from an accredited band instrument repair technician program or equivalent formal training.
• Ability to demonstrate foundational competency in brass and woodwind repair through a bench test.
• Solid school level skills in pad work, key fitting, dent work, soldering, cork and felt work, and regulation, with a strong desire to keep improving.
• Excellent manual dexterity and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage time, follow shop processes, and stay organized in a high-volume environment.
• Positive, teachable attitude with strong communication and customer-friendly professionalism.
• Passion for music and helping students and teachers keep instruments in top playing condition.

Nice-to-have (not required):

• Experience with basic orchestral string or percussion repairs.
• Prior part-time work in a music store, rental program, or school band office.

Benefits and why new grads like this role

• Competitive pay structure appropriate for early career technicians, with growth as skills and productivity increase.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k).
• Two weeks paid vacation per year after one year of full-time employment.
• Employee discounts on instruments and accessories (ideal if you want to upgrade your own gear).
• Consistent bench time on a wide range of student and step up instruments, accelerating your real world learning.
• Daily access to industry veterans for questions, coaching, and long term career development in both the repair and music retail field.

How to apply
Please send the following to dwolfe@summerhaysmusic.com:

• Resume including your repair training, school program, previous work experience, and any related music or shop experience.
• Brief cover letter describing your repair interests (brass, woodwind, etc.), your goals as a new technician, and why you’d like to start your career in the Salt Lake City area.
• Optional: Photos or short descriptions of representative repair projects from school (e.g., overhauls, dent work, key fitting or setup projects).
