Commercial Refrigeration Service Technician
About The Position
Reed Restaurant Repair is hiring a full-time Commercial Refrigeration Service Technician to service commercial kitchens and foodservice businesses across the Denver metro area. Technicians start from home in a take-home service van, receive daily calls on a tablet, and work efficiently dispatched routes. The work includes commercial refrigeration, HVAC, ice machines, and foodservice equipment. The company provides dispatch, parts coordination, and field support, with steady year-round work and regular overtime opportunities. Technicians diagnose and repair equipment rather than applying temporary fixes, communicate directly with customers, submit parts requests through work orders, and complete job notes on a tablet. Prior hot-side cooking-equipment experience is not required; training is provided for technicians with strong electrical and mechanical troubleshooting skills.
Requirements
- Meet either of the following experience paths: completion of an accredited HVAC/R trade school program plus at least one full year of independent field service experience, residential or commercial; or at least five years of hands-on commercial field service experience.
