Job Responsibilities

  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, repair, and maintain commercial HVAC and refrigeration equipment.

  • Communicate professionally with customers regarding equipment issues, repairs, and service recommendations.
  • Keep accurate service records and document work performed.
  • Maintain a clean, organized company vehicle and properly care for tools and equipment.
  • Communicate effectively with dispatch, management, and other team members.
  • Work safely, efficiently, and independently while representing the company professionally.

Required Qualifications

  • Previous hands-on experience in HVAC, commercial refrigeration, and/or commercial kitchen equipment repair is required.

  • Must be comfortable working with both hot-side and cold-side equipment.
  • Must have the technical knowledge and practical experience to run service calls independently.
  • Must possess a valid driver’s license and maintain a clean driving record.
  • Must be able to pass a criminal background check.
  • Excellent communication and customer service skills are required.
  • Must be dependable, punctual, organized, and professional.
  • Must be able to troubleshoot problems and work independently without constant supervision.
  • Must be comfortable working in active restaurant and commercial kitchen environments.
  • Must be willing to travel between customer locations throughout the service area.

Schedule

  • Full-time position, approximately 40 hours per week.
  • Start times generally range from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, depending on the day’s schedule and service calls.
  • Workdays and daily schedules may vary based on customer needs.
  • Reliable attendance and flexibility are essential.

What We Offer

  • Company service vehicle provided.
  • Company gas card provided for the company vehicle.
  • Full-time employment with an established HVAC and refrigeration company.
  • The opportunity to work on a variety of HVAC, refrigeration, and commercial kitchen equipment.
  • A team environment where reliability, communication, and quality workmanship matter.

Who We Are Looking For

We need someone who knows the trade, understands commercial restaurant equipment, and is confident handling service calls in the field. Our customers depend on us to keep their equipment operating, and we need a technician who takes pride in diagnosing problems correctly, completing quality repairs, and treating customers professionally.

If you have the experience to get in a service van and handle calls independently, communicate well with customers and our team, and take responsibility for your work, we want to hear from you.
