Part-Time Refrigeration Maintenance Technician (Weekends)

Part-Time Refrigeration Maintenance Technician — WeekendsWe run three Dunkin' locations in Delaware and Chester County plus a beer distributor in Northeast Philadelphia. Every one of them lives or dies on refrigeration — ice machines, walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, and beverage dispensers. When a compressor fails on a Saturday morning, it costs us real money.We are not hiring someone to fix breakdowns. We have vendors for that. We are hiring one experienced person to prevent them.You visit one store per week and give every refrigeration unit in that building a full preventive service — clean it, inspect it, measure it, write it up. Four locations in the rotation means each site sees you about once a month, year round. Same list, same checklist, every time.The scheduleOne location per visit, roughly 4–6 hours depending on the siteWeekends, on the day and start time that suits youYou get the rotation eight weeks ahead so you can plan around your full-time jobNo on-call, no nights, no emergency dispatch — everWhat you will do at each locationCondensers: pull covers, brush and vacuum the fins, wash where needed, verify clean airflowIce machines: full teardown clean and sanitize per manufacturer schedule, water filter change on cycle, check water lines, harvest cycle and bin controlsWalk-in coolers and freezers: coil and evaporator cleaning, defrost cycle check, drain lines clear, door gaskets, hinges, closers and sweeps, curtain strips, verify box temperature against setpointReach-ins and undercounters: condenser clean, gasket condition, fan operation, temperature checkBeverage and frozen dispensers: condenser clean, seals, drip and drain checkReadings: record suction and discharge temperatures, superheat where applicable, box temperatures, amp draw on compressors and fansMinor adjustments: belts, fan motors, thermostat calibration, door alignment, gasket replacement, filter swapsThe report: a short written summary per visit, with photos, telling us what you cleaned, what you measured, what is starting to look wrong, and what needs a vendor before it failsThat last item matters most.
