Equipment Repair and Restoration Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Rich Coast Coffee is a family-owned, commercial coffee and specialty beverage company serving Central Pennsylvania since 1978. With decades of steady growth and a strong reputation for quality and service, we are seeking an experienced professional to join our equipment repair and restoration team. Eventually once the initial training has been completed and the candidate has some lengthy experience in learning the ins and outs of the breadth of these machines, further responsibilities would include mobile equipment servicing and delivery of products.

This is a unique opportunity for a skilled technician or industry specialist looking to step into a leadership role with long-term stability, autonomy, and impact.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Leadership position with direct influence over company-wide equipment operations
• Established, family-owned business with deep roots and loyal customer base
• Opportunity to build, train, and elevate a team of technicians
• Relocation opportunity to Central Pennsylvania, offering a high quality of life, affordable living, and a strong sense of community

Position Overview

You will be trained to diagnose, repair and restore commercial coffee brewing and dispensing equipment. Approximately one-third of your time will be dedicated to bench testing and repairs to equipment in our repair shop and the rest of the time it would likely be in the field which you will independently troubleshoot and resolve equipment issues.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform all equipment repair and restoration operations on an as needed basis.
• Diagnose and resolve complex equipment issues across a wide range of commercial brewing systems
• Support team members to improve field service capabilities with the hope that you may one day lead the training efforts across the company.
• Reorder parts from various suppliers to maintain internal restoration practices and in-the-field support for traveling technicians
• Travel as needed for installations, repairs, and hands-on training
• Maintain detailed equipment records using our digital asset management system
• Ability to assemble new equipment components efficiently while adhering to safety standards. Your expertise will directly impact our customers’ experience by ensuring their machines operate flawlessly day after day. We value innovation, dedication, and a proactive approach—come be part of a team that’s passionate about excellence in every brew!

Qualifications

• Proven experience working on commercial coffee or specialty beverage equipment strongly preferred but general mechanical knowledge and interest is a must.
• Candidates with electrical and/or plumbing experience is helpful
• Ability to quickly diagnose and solve technical issues in both shop and field environments
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• Comfortable working with modern, tech-driven brewing equipment and software systems
• Stay current with industry trends in coffee brewing equipment, refrigeration, electrical and plumbing components, and applied technical enhancements to attain the highest efficiency within our service capabilities.
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record

Relocation Consideration

We welcome candidates from outside the region who bring direct industry experience. This role is ideal for someone looking to establish roots in a stable, growing company while enjoying a more balanced lifestyle.
