Part-Time Refrigeration Maintenance Technician (Weekends)

We run three Dunkin' locations in Delaware and Chester County plus a beer distributor in Northeast Philadelphia. Every one of them lives or dies on refrigeration — ice machines, walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, and beverage dispensers. When a compressor fails on a Saturday morning, it costs us real money. We are not hiring someone to fix breakdowns. We have vendors for that. We are hiring one experienced person to prevent them. You visit one store per week and give every refrigeration unit in that building a full preventive service — clean it, inspect it, measure it, write it up. Four locations in the rotation means each site sees you about once a month, year round. Same list, same checklist, every time. The schedule One location per visit, roughly 4–6 hours depending on the site Weekends, on the day and start time that suits you You get the rotation eight weeks ahead so you can plan around your full-time job What you will do at each location Condensers: pull covers, brush and vacuum the fins, wash where needed, verify clean airflow Ice machines: full teardown clean and sanitize per manufacturer schedule, water filter change on cycle, check water lines, harvest cycle and bin controls Walk-in coolers and freezers: coil and evaporator cleaning, defrost cycle check, drain lines clear, door gaskets, hinges, closers and sweeps, curtain strips, verify box temperature against setpoint Reach-ins and undercounters: condenser clean, gasket condition, fan operation, temperature check Beverage and frozen dispensers: condenser clean, seals, drip and drain check Readings: record suction and discharge temperatures, superheat where applicable, box temperatures, amp draw on compressors and fans Minor adjustments: belts, fan motors, thermostat calibration, door alignment, gasket replacement, filter swaps The report: a short written summary per visit, with photos, telling us what you cleaned, what you measured, what is starting to look wrong, and what needs a vendor before it fails That last item matters most. The value of this job is catching the failure eight weeks before it happens. What you will not do No emergency or after-hours calls No sealed-system work, refrigerant recovery or charging as part of the routine visit If something is broken and you want to fix it on the spot, we are open to that as separate paid work, case by case. It is never an expectation of the weekly visit. Pay Hourly, based on experience. Paid weekly. We will talk about the number on the first call. What we need from you Required: hands-on commercial refrigeration experience — from an HVAC company, a supermarket chain, a restaurant group, or foodservice equipment service work Required: your own hand tools, coil cleaning equipment, gauges, thermometer and clamp meter Required: reliable transportation, valid driver's license, smartphone for photos and reports Required: you show up on schedule, every week, without being chased Preferred: EPA 608 certification Preferred: you live in or near Delaware County, Chester County, or Northeast Philadelphia Ideal fit: someone already working full-time in HVAC or refrigeration who wants steady, predictable weekend income with no on-call burden.
