About The Position

Do You Thrive Solving Technical Puzzles On the Road? If you enjoy diagnosing complex issues, talking directly with customers, and turning equipment downtime into brewing perfection, you’ll fit right in at Farmer Brothers on the Revive™ Service & Restoration team. We specialize in installing, maintaining, and restoring commercial coffee and tea systems—and we’re looking for a field technician to own results in a defined territory. Imagine This Morning: You review your route, load the parts you’ll need, and head to a café to swap a brewer and complete a preventative maintenance check. Afternoon: An urgent call comes in—an account’s dispenser is down before the rush. You respond quickly, diagnose with your test meter, repair the unit, close the call with complete documentation, and capture the customer’s signature. Before you finish, you relay feedback to the team and prep for tomorrow’s install.
