Job Description

Keep Kitchens Cooking — Join Colliers as a Field Specialist

Imagine starting your day with a clear route, a well-stocked service vehicle, and the confidence that comes from best-in-class technical backup. As a Commercial Kitchen & HVAC/R Field Service Specialist, you’ll support Chick-fil-A restaurants exclusively through a top-tier service network. You’ll work independently in the field, while a strong technical and operational team equips you with the tools, resources, and training to excel.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

Morning diagnostics on a reach-in cooler. Midday calibration of a grill. Afternoon troubleshooting on a rooftop unit. Throughout the day, you’ll coordinate with manufacturers for parts and technical insights and, when needed, consult directly with the Chick-fil-A Technical Assistance Team to deliver fast, reliable fixes.

Core Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, repair, install, and remove commercial kitchen equipment.
• Service hot-side cooking equipment, refrigeration systems (including sealed systems), specialty foodservice equipment, and base-building HVAC systems.

• Install ordered parts precisely and professionally.
• Document work thoroughly: work orders, time entries, receipts, and truck stock inventory.
• Keep your service vehicle, tools, and parts well organized.
• Support on-call emergency response during non-standard hours.
• Follow safe work practices and accident-prevention procedures.
• Pursue continuous OEM training and certifications.
• Engage productively with partners, suppliers, and vendors supporting the service network.
• Maintain productivity levels aligned with company standards.

• Background servicing kitchen equipment, facilities, or construction systems.
• EPA Universal Certification.

• Safe driving record (MVR required) and ability to safely operate company vehicles.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and diagnostic capability; ability to read schematics and diagrams.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and mobile service applications.
• Clear written and verbal communication; self-starter who excels independently with a positive, service-first approach.

Travel

• 100% travel within a defined local market.
• Limited overnight travel, primarily for onboarding and training.

Physical Demands

• Work extended periods during emergencies or priority events (including overtime).
• Lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds.
• Climb ladders and stairs up to two stories (with ladder safety training). Note: Roof access ladders are provided; van loading/unloading of a large ladder is not typical.
• Frequent bending, twisting, kneeling, crouching, and crawling.
• Extended standing and walking on even and uneven surfaces.
• Frequent use of arms, wrists, and hands to operate tools and machinery.
