Starting pay is based on verified experience, certifications, and job scope (including on-call/travel as applicable) and may vary by location due to local market and cost of living; hiring managers set the final starting rate within the appropriate tier. We also offer a robust benefits package.

• Hands-on experience with commercial refrigeration systems required
• Strong troubleshooting skills and safe work habits
• Ability to work independently in the field while contributing to a professional team
• Experience with compressors, controls, valves, motors, electrical troubleshooting, and system startups strongly preferred
• EPA 608 Universal, OSHA, RETA, welding, controls, or electrical experience are valued, but practical field skill matters most
