Job Title

Commercial Refrigeration Service Technician

Job Description

RSCS and MRC are looking for experienced commercial refrigeration service technicians who know the trade, take pride in their work, and can perform in the field when customers are counting on them. This role is for skilled commercial refrigeration professionals with real low-temperature field-service experience - technicians who can walk into a supermarket, cold storage facility, or restaurant, troubleshoot the issue, communicate clearly with the customer, and help get critical systems operating safely and reliably again. You will join a team of trade professionals who understand commercial refrigeration, value strong workmanship, and support one another across a growing Western U.S. service footprint.

Compensation

We use a tiered hourly pay scale across RSCS and MRC for technician roles: Apprentice/Entry $20-$30, Technician (Early-Career) $30-$40, Journeyman (Mid-Level) $40-$50, and Senior/Field Supervisor $50-$70 (top end reserved for the highest-level senior technicians and field supervisors). Starting pay is based on verified experience, certifications, and job scope (including on-call/travel as applicable) and may vary by location due to local market and cost of living; hiring managers set the final starting rate within the appropriate tier. We also offer a robust benefits package.
