Food Service Equipment Technician with HVAC/R Skills

Food Service Equipment Technician with HVAC/R Skills

Join a team where your expertise makes a real impact. At Kalamazoo Mechanical, Inc. , we're seeking a seasoned technician with a strong background in food service equipment and refrigeration to support our growing restaurant and hospitality client base. This role values traditional HVAC/R skills—with the added specialty in keeping kitchens running smoothly and safely. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy solving unique challenges, we want you on our team.

We offer competitive compensation based on experience, plus the chance to work with a supportive, tight-knit, high-performing crew. Here, you're not just a number—you'll have direct access to leadership, the tools you need to succeed, and a culture built around pride in craftsmanship, problem-solving, and mutual respect.

What You'll Do
  • Provide expert maintenance and repair services for food service equipment, refrigeration systems, and HVAC systems.
  • Diagnose and resolve issues quickly, often in active kitchen environments with time constraints.
  • Service hot-side equipment (ovens, fryers, steamers, grills) and cold-side refrigeration units (walk-in coolers, reach-in coolers, freezers).
  • Accurately complete required documentation and communicate effectively with clients.
  • Follow all safety protocols and maintain a clean, organized work area—even in challenging conditions.
  • Operate power tools, hand tools, and lifts as needed.
  • Mentor apprentices and share best practices.
  • Other duties as assigned.
  • Web-based digital work order system.
What We're Looking For
  • Specialized experience with commercial food service equipment (hot-side and cold-side) and refrigeration systems.
  • Solid understanding of standard, light-commercial HVAC systems—RTUs, furnaces, AC units, make-up air equipment, water heaters, exhaust fans, etc.
  • Minimum 5 years of field experience in service and repair.
  • Ability to work in active kitchen environments—comfortable with grease, heat, and tight spaces.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and a self-motivated, detail-oriented approach.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical manuals and specifications.
  • Safety-conscious with a clean driving record.
  • Exceptional work ethic and reliability.
  • Desire to be part of a lean, high-performance, fast-paced team.
Benefits
  • 401(k) with auto 3% contributions (even if you don't contribute)
  • Profit Sharing (averaging 6%-9% of pay as lump sum contribution at year end)
  • Health insurance (100% paid)
  • Flexible spending and health savings accounts
  • Paid time off
  • On-call “spiff” even when no calls
  • Referral program

Job Type: Full-time
Wage Range: $35 - $45/hr
Kalamazoo Mechanical, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.

Compensation details: 35-45
