• Help with tools – you bring the basics, we help with the rest

Who We’re Looking For:

• 1-3 years of experience with commercial refrigeration or HVAC/R

• Solid diagnostic skills and hands-on mechanical ability

• Clean, professional work habits and strong communication

• Comfortable with service tickets and basic tech tools (iPads, etc.)

• High School Diploma or GED

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

Experience with commercial kitchens is a plus—but we’ll train the right person with strong refrigeration experience.

Position Details:

• Full-time W2 employment

• Competitive pay based on experience

• Paid onboarding and manufacturer-level training
