The Opportunity

We're looking for an experienced, journeyman-level Commercial Kitchen Equipment Technician to join our Food Services Division and our Local 638B union team. You'll diagnose and repair commercial cooking and food-service equipment for customers across the New York metro area. Right now, about 90% of our jobs are in Manhattan.

This is a skilled service role, not a helper position. If you can troubleshoot gas, electric, and steam equipment on your own and take pride in being the professional face of the company on every call, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

• Diagnose, repair, and maintain commercial cooking and food-service equipment on your own

• Service ovens, ranges, fryers, griddles, steamers, kettles, warmers, dishwashers, and related equipment

• Troubleshoot gas, electric, steam, mechanical, and control-system issues

• Perform preventive maintenance and safety inspections

• Test equipment after repairs to confirm safe and proper operation

• Document work, parts, and recommendations in our app-based service software

• Communicate professionally with customers, dispatch, and teammates

• Take part in the on-call rotation

Requirements

• 5+ years of commercial kitchen equipment service experience at a journeyman level

• Strong gas, electrical, steam, and mechanical diagnostic skills

• Experience servicing equipment from multiple commercial manufacturers

• Ability to read wiring diagrams, schematics, and service manuals

• OSHA 10 certification

• Willingness to work in Manhattan on a daily basis

• Comfortable using a smartphone app for work orders

• Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record

• Ability to pass a background check and pre-employment drug screen

Preferred Qualifications

• CFESA certification

• EPA Section 608 certification

• Kitchen refrigeration experience, such as reach-ins and ice machines

• Current Local 638B membership

Pay

$21.00 - $48.35 per hour, set by Local 638B. The journeyman rate is $48.35 per hour.

Benefits

• Local 638B union benefits paid by the company: health insurance, pension, annuity, and training (starting after 90 days)

• Not in the union yet? We'll bring you into Local 638B within your first 3 months

• Paid time off and holidays

• Overtime and on-call opportunities

• Company-issued uniforms

• 4 to 6 weeks of hands-on training with our techs

• Year-round work
