About the Opportunity

RSCS and MRC are looking for experienced commercial refrigeration service technicians who know the trade, take pride in their work, and can perform in the field when customers are counting on them.

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.
