Job Description

Restaurant Maintenance Technician (HVAC & Refrigeration)
Cook Out Restaurants | Competitive Pay + Sign-On Bonuses

Are you a skilled technician looking for a stable, fast-paced environment with an elite team? Cook Out Restaurants is growing, and we are looking for an experienced Restaurant Maintenance Technician to join our dedicated maintenance department. At Cook Out, we don’t just fix things—we keep the engine running. You will manage shake machines, refrigeration and HVAC systems while being cross-trained on “hot side” kitchen equipment.

Why Join the Cook Out Team?
Sign-On Bonuses: $500 and $1,000 (Paid after required employment period).

Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance.

Financial Security: Company-paid Life Insurance & 401k matching (up to 4% after 1 year).

Work-Life Balance: Paid vacation (after 1 year) and paid holidays (Christmas & Thanksgiving).

Extra Earning Potential: Overtime pay, On-call bonuses, and Weekend bonuses.

The Perks: Daily meals included and a company work van.

What You’ll Do
As a key member of our Maintenance Team, you will serve multiple locations to ensure a safe, clean, and high-performing environment.

HVAC & Refrigeration: Repair and maintain AC units, walk-in coolers/freezers, modular equipment, ice machines, shake machines, and reach-in units.

Hot Side Maintenance: Learn to repair and maintain specialized kitchen cooking equipment.

Facility Care: Regularly inspect grounds, buildings, and systems; perform self-identified repairs to keep our stores in top shape.

Tech-Forward Tracking: Utilize a company tablet to manage requests and document completions in a timely manner.

Collaboration: Work closely with Service Area Managers (S.A.M.), office staff, and store leadership.

Requirements
Experience: Minimum 2 years of relevant work experience with refrigeration (coolers and freezers).

Technical Tools: Must possess your own tools/instruments required for refrigeration work.

Availability: Must be able to work weekdays and every other weekend. Ability to be on-call when notified is required.

Driving Record: Valid driver’s license for at least 3 years. No major violations or accidents within the last 3–5 years (minor violations evaluated case-by-case).

Reliability: Reliable transportation to your home restaurant (where your work van is parked). Note: Van may be taken home when on call during weekends.

Physical: Ability to lift up to 50lbs.

Compliance: Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screen and background check (no criminal convictions within the past 10 years).
