Job Description

Keep Kitchens Running. Keep Guests Happy.

At Colliers, we power great experiences by taking ownership and doing what’s right for our clients and communities. As a Commercial Kitchen & HVAC/R Field Service Technician, you’ll be the trusted expert keeping Chick-fil-A restaurants in your local market operating at peak performance.

A day in your boots

You start the morning reviewing service level requests and parts inventory in your well-organized vehicle. First stop: a fryer temperature issue on a Henny Penny unit. You diagnose, consult the Chick-fil-A Technical Assistance Team, install the needed part, document the work order on your mobile app, and get the line back on schedule. By mid-day, you’re on a roof checking a Lennox HVAC system, then inside servicing a Traulsen reach-in and verifying a Hobart mixer. Along the way, you coordinate with manufacturers for parts identification, keep safety front and center, and close out accurate time and materials before heading to a short after-hours emergency call.

What you’ll do

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, repair, install, and remove commercial kitchen equipment and related systems
• Service hot-side cooking equipment, refrigeration systems (including sealed systems), specialty foodservice units, and base building HVAC systems
• Respond to Operator service requests within established SLAs
• Work on brands such as Henny Penny, Follett, Lennox (HVAC), Traulsen, Hobart mixers, Champion dishwashers, and Garland Grill
• Collaborate with manufacturers for diagnostic support and parts identification
• Consult with the Chick-fil-A Technical Assistance Team while onsite
• Install ordered parts accurately and professionally
• Complete precise documentation: work orders, time reporting, receipts, and truck stock
• Maintain an orderly service vehicle, tools, and parts inventory
• Support on-call emergency response during non-standard hours
• Follow safe work practices and accident-prevention procedures
• Participate in ongoing OEM training and certification programs
• Engage productively with equipment partners, suppliers, and vendors supporting the service network
• Meet and maintain productivity benchmarks

What you bring

• Technical trade school training and/or relevant hands-on experience
• 5+ years in a related trade (or equivalent experience)
• Background in one or more: sealed refrigeration/HVAC, electrical, mechanical, process controls, hot-side cooking equipment and/or mechanical power transmission

Travel

Physical demands

• Work extended periods during emergency or priority situations (including overtime)
• Lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 lbs
