Job Description

COMMERCIAL KITCHEN EQUIPMENT SERVICE TECHNICIAN
Nazareth, PA

Join a growing commercial food service equipment company where your work truly matters — every call is a business depending on you to get their kitchen back up and running. This is a fully independent, hands-on role for a tech who's ready to be trusted with the keys, the truck, and the work from week one, not months into training.

THE BASICS
Location: Nazareth, PA
Pay: $26–$44/hour
Service Area: 50-mile radius from home base, covering Allentown, north to Wilkes-Barre, south to Quakertown, west to Reading, and east to Easton (occasional New Jersey jobs for select customers)
Schedule: Full-time, typical hours 8am–5pm with flexibility to start earlier; overtime is common in this trade but not mandatory
On-Call: Weekend rotation (Friday night through Sunday), currently 1-in-4 weekends, moving to 1-in-5 as the team grows; on-call pay is port-to-port and only kicks in when you're dispatched on a call
Reports To: Owner/Service Dispatcher

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Check in each morning with the service dispatcher to get your job assignments
• Drive your take-home service vehicle to customer sites and handle reactive, same-day service calls (this is an emergency-response role — no two days look the same)
• Diagnose and repair both hot-side and cold-side commercial kitchen equipment (grills, fryers, ovens, ice machines, walk-in coolers, refrigeration, etc.)
• Service building HVAC rooftop units (RTUs) as needed
• Use mobile field-service software on your own phone to write and submit invoices on-site
• Call the dispatcher when each job wraps to get your next assignment
• Be willing to cross-train across trades rather than sticking to one specialty (refrigeration, appliance, and HVAC work all come with the territory)

WHY TECHNICIANS LIKE WORKING HERE

• Take-home service vehicle with GPS tracking
• Gas card provided
• Trucks stocked with tools (bring your own if you prefer — not required)
• 100% company-paid health insurance for the employee
• 100% company-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• 8 paid holidays
• Vacation time based on experience
• Pay tied directly to what you bill — no micromanaging your clock
• Long-tenured team — most techs stay for years

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required:

• Clean driving record (a DUI is disqualifying due to insurance requirements)
• Physically capable of climbing ladders, working on rooftops, and carrying/handling a 30-lb refrigerant bottle
• EPA 608/609 certification for refrigeration
• Hands-on, independent experience — able to be handed the keys and go, without needing training
• Comfortable being cross-trained across hot-side, cold-side, and HVAC work rather than sticking to one specialty

Nice to Have (not required):

• Experience across multiple trades (refrigeration, commercial appliance repair, and light HVAC) rather than just one
• Familiarity with mobile field-service/invoicing software
• General electrical, plumbing, or carpentry skills (refrigeration work often touches all three)
