Job Description

Commercial Kitchen Equipment Service Technician

Picture your day starting in Lewiston, ID. You load your tools, review the service queue, and head to a local restaurant where a fryer needs attention before the lunch rush. By mid-morning, you’re in Clarkston, WA, swapping a worn component on a dish machine. After lunch, you’re in Moscow, ID, completing preventative maintenance and documenting your work—then coordinating a specialized vendor for an exhaust system repair. If this hands-on variety sounds like your kind of workday, you’ll thrive here.

Compensation & Schedule

• Pay: $26.44–$28.84 per hour
• Schedule: Full-time, day shift
• Home Base: Lewiston, ID
• Service Area: Lewiston, ID; Clarkston, WA; Moscow, ID

• Independently diagnose, troubleshoot, repair, and replace commercial kitchen equipment, including fryers, ovens, grills, dish machines, and exhaust systems.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance across multiple restaurant, warehouse, and catering facilities.
• Respond to maintenance requests and service calls from restaurant managers and operations teams.
• Resolve electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and general facility issues.
• Tackle diverse tasks: carpentry, plumbing, concrete work, welding, painting, and equipment replacement.
• Inspect facilities and equipment to identify potential failures, safety risks, and repair needs.
• Complete PM schedules, service logs, and maintenance records accurately.
• Coordinate with vendors and contractors for specialized repairs.
• Travel between locations to provide on-site maintenance and emergency repair support.

Note: Approximately 60–70% of this role centers on equipment repair, troubleshooting, and replacement.
