Entry Level Service Technician

JUNIOR APPLIANCE REPAIR TECHNICIAN ~ Paid Training & Career Growth

Start your career in Appliance Repair with Yale Appliance!

We're hiring both entry-level and experienced Appliance Repair Technicians. Whether you're new to the trade or already skilled, this is your chance to start a stable, rewarding career in a hands-on, problem-solving, and technology-driven trade with a company that values its employees and supports their growth every step of the way.

WHY APPLIANCE REPAIR?

• A growing industry that’s no longer taught in schools.
• The average Massachusetts home has 5 appliances, but the state has only about 660 trained Appliance Repair Technicians.
• That's a huge demand with very few people who can do the work.

Bring your background in HVAC/R, electrical, electronics, or plumbing and we’ll train you to troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair home appliances.

TRAINING PROGRAM ~ LEARN & EARN

We'll set you up to succeed in our 1,000-hour paid training program (no unpaid apprenticeship required):

• Classroom and computer-based learning.
• Hands-on practice in our shop.
• Shadowing on the road with experienced Technicians.
• Mentorship, resources, and ongoing support.
• Training in customer communication and conflict resolution.

After 6 months, you'll ride along with a trainer for a few weeks to make sure you're confident before going out on your own.

PAY & CAREER GROWTH

• Entry-level: $25.00 per hour to start, with increases during training. Many new Techs earn up to $29.00 per hour in just 6 months.
• Experienced Technicians (3 years): up to $40.00 per hour.
• Paid from Day 1.
• Van and fuel card provided right away (your commuting costs are covered even during training).
• Optional Saturday overtime when available, but no on-call and no nights.
• 40 hours/week, Monday–Friday, 7:30am start (in the service business, your end times vary based on route and your time management skills).

WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED

This role is rewarding but it's a lot of work and you'll be challenged every day. You’ll need to be:

• Mechanically inclined and like fixing things.
• Self-motivated with strong time management skills.
• Comfortable working independently and driving ~3 hours daily.
• Professional in both appearance and communication with customers.
• Physically able to lift, maneuver, and work with appliances and tools.
• Ready to "go back to school" for the next 6 months.
• The desire to learn something new, ask questions, and communicate.
• Fixing appliances while alone in a customer’s home is tough and not for everyone.

If you like challenges and problem-solving, being hands-on, and building real skills, you’ll thrive here.
