- Confident with diagnostics, repairs, and clean installations

- Professional, organized, and great with communication

- Comfortable with service notes and basic tech tools (iPads, etc.)

- High School Diploma or GED

- Able to lift 60 lbs, push 100 lbs, and pull 50 lbs

*Commercial kitchen experience is —but we’ll train the right mechanically inclined candidate.*


Position Details:- Full-time W2 role

- Competitive pay based on experience

- Paid training and onboarding provided


Benefits That Work for You:- Medical, Dental, HRA, and Life Insurance

- Company van, gas card, and incidentals card

- Company-issued iPad and heavy equipment
