Specializing in Ovens, Stoves, and Fryers? Let’s Talk.

KC Mechanical is seeking a skilled hot side technician to join our growing team. If you’ve worked on commercial ovens, stoves, fryers, steamers, and similar equipment—and want reliable, local work with a company that values your experience—we’d love to talk.

We’re a locally owned small business with nearly 30 years serving restaurants, schools, and facilities throughout Chittenden, Lamoille, Washington, Franklin, Orange, and Addison Counties. Our team is big enough to offer full support and benefits, but small enough to know each tech by name.

What We Offer:

• Take-home company van – no daily shop returns unless you need parts

• Local work – all in Vermont, no long-haul travel

• In-house support – scheduling, dispatch, parts ordering, warranty handling

• Respect for your trade – autonomy, not micromanagement

• Tool support – bring the basics, we’ll help with the rest

Who We’re Looking For:

• 1-3 years of experience with hot side kitchen equipment or related trades

• 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 preferred—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

• 401(k) with company match

• Paid vacation, sick days, and floating holidays

• Overtime + On-Call Pay

If you’re looking for a long-term role where your hot side experience is respected and your time is valued, KC Mechanical is ready to meet you.
