Commercial Refrigeration Technician
We are hiring technicians in the commercial refrigeration trade. These techs primarily work on equipment in foodservice and grocery applications. These include walk-in, reach-in, glass case, and rack refrigeration systems. So, knowledge of food storage is a plus for this position.
Refrigeration techs will change out, repair, and maintain refrigeration systems. We expect applicants to have knowledge about processes unique to large-scale refrigeration. Some of these processes include oil management, gas changes, and rack controllers. Refrigeration also requires a sense of urgency and care for the customer’s products. However, our techs’ high-stakes work has a positive impact on the community. We would love to welcome you to our team and join us in our mission to serve businesses in Florida.
