What are the responsibilities and job description for the Commercial Kitchen Equipment Installer position at Anchored Kitchen?
Anchored Kitchen is a commercial kitchen equipment contractor in the middle of a major, high-profile build in Nashville — a large-scale, fast-moving commercial food-service installation with a demanding schedule and no room for a learning curve. The project is already underway and we need to add two experienced installers who can walk onto an active job site and be productive on day one.
This is skilled, hands-on work for tradespeople who already know commercial kitchen equipment inside and out. We are not training for this position — you should already have real installation experience under your belt.
What you'll be doing
- Setting, leveling, assembling, and securing commercial kitchen equipment — cook lines, refrigeration and walk-ins, exhaust hoods, shelving, prep stations, ware-washing, and more
- Reading and working from kitchen equipment drawings, cut sheets, and spec books
- Coordinating final connections with plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades on an active construction site
- Uncrating, staging, and protecting equipment; handling and moving heavy units safely
- Verifying installed equipment against the equipment schedule and flagging damage, shortages, or backorders
- Keeping the work area clean, safe, and on schedule alongside other trades
What we're looking for
- Proven, hands-on experience installing commercial/foodservice kitchen equipment — ideally on commercial construction or large-venue projects
- Comfortable reading equipment plans, shop drawings, and manufacturer spec sheets
- Solid mechanical aptitude with your own hand tools
- Able to safely handle heavy equipment and work on your feet through a full construction day
- Dependable, punctual, and able to work as part of a crew with minimal supervision
- Able to pass any site-required background check and safety orientation
Nice to have
- OSHA 10/30 certification
- Experience on stadium, arena, hospitality, or other large commercial food-service builds
- Familiarity with basic electrical/plumbing rough-in coordination
- Ability to travel to future project sites
Logistics
- Immediate start — this crew is needed now for the Nashville project, with strong potential to continue on future work
- Must be able to reliably get to the Nashville job site each work day
- Must be able to pass a pre-employment drug test
