Master Service Technician – Commercial Kitchen Equipment
Smart Care
You Know Your Way Around a Commercial Kitchen. Especially When Something's Broken.
Fryers that won't heat. Ovens that won't cooperate. Walk-in coolers that decide to take the day off. When commercial kitchen equipment goes down, restaurants need someone who can figure out what's wrong and get things running again.
That's where you come in.
Smart Care is looking for an experienced Master Service Technician who knows how to troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair commercial kitchen equipment — and doesn't need someone looking over their shoulder to get the job done.
We're looking for someone who's been around the block, knows the equipment, and can tackle the complicated service calls that leave other technicians scratching their heads.
This isn't just about fixing equipment. It's about being the technician customers trust and the person other technicians call when they need a second opinion.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair commercial cooking, refrigeration, warewashing, and other foodservice equipment.
Work on equipment such as ovens, fryers, steamers, griddles, dishwashers, ice machines, walk-in coolers, reach-ins, and other commercial kitchen systems.
Troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, gas, and refrigeration issues to identify the actual problem — not just throw parts at it and hope for the best.
Read wiring diagrams, schematics, and technical manuals to diagnose complex equipment failures.
Work directly with restaurant managers, hospitality customers, and other commercial clients to keep their equipment operating.
Communicate with manufacturers and technical support teams when additional resources are needed.
Complete repairs accurately, efficiently, and professionally.
Perform preventative maintenance and identify potential issues before they turn into expensive emergency calls.
Keep accurate service records, work orders, time reporting, and parts documentation.
Maintain your company vehicle, tools, and truck inventory.
Recommend additional services or repairs when appropriate.
Follow established safety procedures and company standards.
Share your knowledge with other technicians , providing troubleshooting assistance, technical guidance, and support when needed.
Manage your service calls independently while maintaining strong productivity and customer satisfaction.
What We're Looking For
First and foremost, we're looking for someone who can troubleshoot.
Not just replace a part because a fault code told you to.
We want someone who understands how commercial equipment works, can identify the root cause of a problem, and knows how to make the right repair.

Ability to work independently and manage multiple service calls.
Willingness to participate in an emergency on-call rotation, including nights and weekends.
Availability for occasional overnight travel.
Authorization to work in the United States without current or future employer sponsorship.

Extensive commercial kitchen equipment repair experience.
Experience servicing both hot-side and cold-side equipment.
