Commercial Kitchen Equipment Service Technician - Allentown PA

Smart Care • Allentown, PA

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Restaurants have a funny way of needing their equipment to actually... work. Fryers need to fry. Ovens need to heat. Coolers need to cool. And when they don't, that's where you come in. We're looking for a Service Technician who knows their way around commercial kitchen equipment and enjoys figuring out why something isn't doing what it's supposed to do. You'll work directly with restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and other commercial customers to diagnose problems, make repairs, perform preventative maintenance, and — whenever possible — keep equipment from ruining somebody's day.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent
• At least 1 year of technical experience in refrigeration, appliance repair, commercial kitchen equipment, HVAC, or military technical service
• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
• Mechanical aptitude and solid troubleshooting skills
• Ability to work independently without someone looking over your shoulder all day
• Willingness to participate in the on-call rotation
• Ability to occasionally travel overnight
• Ability to work in the U.S. without employer-sponsored immigration assistance

Nice To Haves

• Commercial refrigeration experience
• Commercial cooking equipment repair experience
• EPA, CFESA, or other relevant technical certifications
• Experience working directly with restaurant or foodservice customers
• The ability to look at a piece of broken equipment and think, "Yeah, I can figure this out."

Responsibilities

• Diagnose and repair commercial cooking, refrigeration, warewashing, and other foodservice equipment
• Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues without immediately blaming the machine 😂
• Read wiring diagrams, schematics, and technical documentation
• Perform preventative maintenance to catch problems BEFORE the Friday-night dinner rush
• Work directly with restaurant and hospitality managers to get their equipment back up and running
• Manage your daily service calls and work independently in the field
• Document your work so everyone knows what you fixed and why
• Participate in an emergency on-call rotation, because unfortunately equipment has no respect for nights or weekends
• Occasionally travel overnight when needed
• Earn quarterly bonuses by meeting efficiency and productivity goals

Benefits

• Company service vehicle + fuel card
• Company phone + computer
• Quarterly bonus opportunity
• Training & certifications
• Independence
• Comprehensive benefits including 401(k), pension, and paid time off, with eligibility beginning upon your start date.
