Looking for a Career Change? We’ll Pay You to Learn a Skilled Trade.

This isn’t just another job. It’s an opportunity to build a career.

Maybe you’re working a job that pays the bills but doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere. Maybe you enjoy working with your hands, figuring out how things work, solving problems, and helping people—but you’ve never had the opportunity to turn those abilities into a skilled trade.

We may be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Dave Smith Appliance Services is looking for the right people, not necessarily experienced appliance technicians. We can teach appliance repair. What we can’t teach is attitude, work ethic, dependability, curiosity, and the desire to build a better future.

EARN While You LEARN

Our training program gives you the opportunity to learn appliance repair and refrigeration while earning an income instead of taking on years of college debt.

We want to be upfront: this is an apprenticeship and the starting pay reflects that. You are being paid while we invest significant time, training, and resources into teaching you a skilled trade.

But starting pay isn't where the story ends.

As your knowledge, skills, productivity, and responsibilities grow, so does your earning potential. Our goal is to develop you into a highly skilled professional appliance technician with the ability to earn a very good living in a career that can last a lifetime.

We’re not looking for someone who just wants their next job. We’re looking for someone who wants to learn their next career.

A Career That's Different Every Day

Appliance repair isn't an assembly line or a job where you stare at the clock waiting to go home.

You’ll diagnose problems, work with electrical and mechanical systems, use technology, meet new people, travel to different locations, and experience the satisfaction of solving a problem that matters to a customer.

You’ll learn to repair today’s increasingly sophisticated appliances while developing electrical, mechanical, refrigeration, diagnostic, and customer-service skills.

And you’ll continue learning throughout your career.

We provide factory training, online education, hands- on instruction, and continuing in-house training to help our technicians continually improve.

Culture Matters Here

We believe people do their best work when they enjoy where they work.

We are an established, growing, family-friendly company that believes in working hard, treating people well, helping one another, and having some fun along the way.

Happy employees make happy customers.

We’re looking for someone who wants to become part of a team—not simply collect a paycheck.

Benefits That Grow With Your Career

Our benefits package includes:

• Company-paid health care
• Dental and vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Short-term disability
• 401(k)
• Paid holidays
• Paid vacation and personal time
• Company service vehicle
• Mobile phone
• Laptop
• Uniforms
• Ongoing professional and factory training
• Opportunities for advancement

You Don't Need Appliance Repair Experience

Experience is helpful, but character and aptitude matter more.

You may be a great candidate if you have experience in automotive repair, maintenance, HVAC, electrical work, construction, manufacturing, equipment operation, facilities maintenance, or another hands- on field.

You may also be someone who simply has strong mechanical aptitude and has always been the person who likes figuring out why something doesn't work.

What we’re looking for:

• A strong work ethic and positive attitude
• Excellent customer-service and communication skills
• Mechanical aptitude and natural curiosity
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities
• A willingness to learn appliance repair at a professional level
• Comfort using computers and technology
• Attention to detail and accuracy
• Dependability and punctuality
• A professional appearance and attitude
• A desire to continually learn and improve
• A valid driver’s license, age over 21, and acceptable driving history

Background, drug, and driving screenings are required.

Where Could You Be a Few Years From Now?

That’s the question we want you to ask yourself.

You can continue doing what you’re doing today—or you can start learning a skilled trade that can provide job security, professional growth, increasing earning potential, and a career you can be proud of.

You don’t need to know how to repair appliances today.

You need the attitude and ability to learn. We’ll help teach you the rest.

If you’re ready for a career change and willing to invest in yourself, we’d like to meet you.

Apply today and start building a career—not just looking for another job.
