Commercial Kitchen Service Technician

You’ll keep commercial kitchens running for restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and other businesses that get understandably dramatic when the refrigerator quits refrigerating or the fryer refuses to fry.

You’ll:

Diagnose and repair commercial cooking, refrigeration, warewashing, and specialty food-service equipment

Read wiring diagrams and schematics without immediately reconsidering your career choices

Build relationships with customers who will be genuinely thrilled to see you

Work independently, manage your schedule, and solve problems without constant supervision

Earn quarterly bonuses by meeting productivity and efficiency goals

High school diploma or equivalent

At least one year of technical experience in refrigeration, HVAC, appliance repair, commercial kitchen equipment, or military service

Valid driver’s license and an acceptable driving record

Willingness to participate in an emergency on-call rotation, including some nights and weekends

Ability to travel overnight occasionally

Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship

EPA, CFESA, or other relevant licenses, training, or certifications

Commercial refrigeration or cooking-equipment repair experience

The ability to prioritize your workload and get things done without being babysat

This is a hands-on technician role. You’ll frequently kneel, bend, squat, push, pull, and reach, and occasionally lift up to 70 pounds. You may work around moving equipment, pressurized steam, open flames, hot surfaces, electricity, and environments ranging from humid kitchens to freezing walk-ins. Ladders and rooftops may also make an occasional appearance.

Paid on-the-job and ongoing technical training

Opportunities to earn advanced certifications

Company service vehicle and fuel card

Company computer and cell phone

Quarterly bonus opportunities

Comprehensive benefits, including 401(k), pension, and paid time off beginning upon eligibility

The freedom to plan your own schedule and work independently

Career paths into advanced technician and management roles

Basically, if you know your way around mechanical equipment, enjoy figuring out why something stopped working, and would prefer not to spend your entire day trapped behind a desk—this might be your kind of job.
