Do you thrive on solving tough refrigeration problems?

Are you the technician who runs toward the challenge when an ammonia system trips at a major cold storage site? Do you enjoy diagnosing controls, restoring uptime, and walking customers through clear next steps? If so, this NH3-focused industrial refrigeration role with a fast-growing mechanical services contractor is for you.

Role overview

In this customer-facing field position, you will service and support industrial refrigeration assets across food and beverage, cold storage, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and process facilities.

Core duties
  • Execute preventive maintenance and corrective repairs on industrial refrigeration systems
  • Service ammonia (NH3) refrigeration equipment; training available for strong candidates
  • Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve issues in refrigeration, ventilation, heating, and control systems
  • Document findings, close out work orders, and deliver timely, accurate customer reports
  • Coordinate your daily routing and keep stakeholders informed throughout each visit
  • Follow company policies and industry regulations to maintain a safe work environment
  • Operate independently and deliver consistent, high-quality service
Credentials and skills
  • Experience with industrial or commercial refrigeration service
  • Ammonia experience preferred; we will train qualified technicians
  • Knowledge of commercial HVAC, ventilation, heating systems, and controls
  • Freon refrigeration background a plus
  • Refrigeration or HVAC apprenticeship (or equivalent experience) preferred
  • Safety training such as OSHA 30, fall protection, or arc flash is a plus
  • Clean driving record
  • Strong diagnostic ability, clear communication, and outstanding customer service
  • Commitment to ongoing technical training and professional growth
Why join
  • Competitive pay
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities
  • Comprehensive benefits
  • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance, depending on position
  • Continuous technical training and defined career development
  • Long-term stability with a growing mechanical contractor
  • Opportunities to work on sophisticated systems at leading industrial sites
