Ready to Take the Next Step Into Rack Refrigeration?
5-Star Refrigeration is looking for a technician with commercial HVAC or cold-side refrigeration experience who wants to take their skills to the next level and learn commercial rack refrigeration.
You do NOT need previous rack refrigeration experience.
If you already know your way around commercial HVAC, walk-ins, reach-ins, ice machines, or other cold-side equipment and have solid troubleshooting fundamentals, we're interested in talking to you.
We'll help you build on that experience and develop the skills needed to work on larger, more complex commercial refrigeration systems.
Location Requirement
This position supports customers throughout the Ocala / The Villages market.
Candidates must live in or between the Ocala and The Villages areas, or within a reasonable distance of this territory.
This is a field-service position and is not remote.
What You'll Do
You'll begin by putting your existing commercial HVAC/R skills to work while gaining hands-on exposure to rack refrigeration systems.
Depending on your experience, you'll:
Diagnose, repair, and maintain commercial refrigeration and HVAC equipment
Service walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, condensing units, evaporators, and other commercial cold-side equipment
Learn to troubleshoot and service commercial rack refrigeration systems
Develop your knowledge of compressors, refrigerant circuits, controls, defrost systems, cases, and related components
Troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, and refrigeration issues
Perform leak detection, refrigerant recovery, evacuation, charging, and system repairs
Read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, and technical documentation
Perform preventative maintenance and identify potential equipment failures
Respond to service calls throughout the assigned territory
Communicate with customers regarding equipment conditions and completed repairs
Accurately document service work
Work independently while staying connected with dispatch and the service team
Participate in an on-call rotation as required
What We're Looking For
We're NOT looking for someone who already knows everything about rack refrigeration.
We're looking for someone who has a strong technical foundation and wants to learn.
You should have:
Previous commercial HVAC and/or cold-side refrigeration experience
Experience troubleshooting commercial equipment
Basic knowledge of refrigeration principles and components
Electrical troubleshooting skills
Ability to read wiring diagrams and schematics
EPA certification
Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
Strong mechanical aptitude
Ability to work independently in the field
Good communication and customer-service skills
Willingness to learn more complex commercial refrigeration systems
Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation
Residence in or around the Ocala–The Villages territory
Your Experience Might Look Like This
Maybe you're currently servicing:
Walk-in coolers and freezers
Reach-in refrigeration
Ice machines
Commercial HVAC systems
Rooftop units
Restaurant refrigeration equipment
Convenience-store equipment
Commercial foodservice equipment
And you're thinking:
"I'd like to learn racks, but nobody wants to hire you unless you already have rack experience."
That's exactly the gap we're looking to bridge.
Why Learn Rack Refrigeration?
Rack refrigeration is a specialized skill that can open the door to a long-term career working on larger and more complex commercial refrigeration systems.
Instead of staying limited to smaller stand-alone equipment, you'll have the opportunity to expand your troubleshooting skills and learn systems commonly used in supermarkets and other large commercial environments.
We're looking for someone who wants to build that skill set and grow with us.
