About KC Mechanical

KC Mechanical is a locally owned Vermont company that’s been serving restaurants, schools, and facilities for nearly 30 years. We specialize in commercial kitchen appliance, refrigeration, and HVAC service and installation — keeping local businesses running smoothly year-round.

We’re a small, skilled team — not a big corporate chain — and we take pride in doing quality work while treating our people right.

Why This Is a Great Fit

If you’ve built your career as a mechanic, oil burner tech, HVAC tech, plumber, refrigeration, or appliance technician, your skills are highly transferable here. Many of our best technicians came from those trades — they’re great with combustion, controls, and troubleshooting, and they love the variety and stability of our work.

As oil work and residential heating decline in Vermont, this is a great opportunity to pivot your trade skills into a steady, year-round field that’s growing. We’ll train you on commercial kitchen and refrigeration systems so you can build a career with long-term stability and local routes.

What You’ll Do

• Diagnose and repair commercial kitchen, refrigeration, and HVAC systems.
• Perform preventive maintenance and occasional installations.
• Communicate clearly with customers and document work professionally.
• Work independently, locally, and as part of a supportive team.

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in a mechanical trade: oil burner, HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, appliance repair, or similar.
• Strong understanding of combustion, electrical, or control systems.
• Willingness to learn new systems (commercial kitchen & refrigeration).
• Clean driving record, reliability, and professionalism.

What We Offer

• $30–$45/hr based on experience.
• Take-home company van.
• Health insurance, paid holidays, and PTO.
• Local routes only – no out-of-state travel.
• Career growth and training in HVAC and refrigeration service.
