• Read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, and equipment specifications
• Recover, evacuate, charge, and troubleshoot refrigeration systems
• Identify failed components and determine the appropriate repair
• Communicate clearly with customers about equipment conditions, repairs, and recommendations
• Complete service documentation accurately and on time
• Maintain company vehicle, tools, equipment, and inventory

• Ice machines
• Compressors
• Evaporators and condensers
• Refrigeration controls
• Electrical troubleshooting
• Leak detection and repair
• Preventative maintenance
• Commercial restaurant, retail, grocery, or foodservice environments

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Company service vehicle and fuel card
• Company-provided tools and equipment as applicable
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits
