Refrigeration Technician

Our Refrigeration Technicians service ammonia refrigeration systems in our refrigerated warehouses and manufacturing facilities to maintain a climate-controlled environment and keep foods and beverages fresh.

To Apply

Contributions

Refrigeration Technicians perform systematic preventive maintenance that incorporates industry best practices. They also troubleshoot and repair all mechanical and HVAC electrical equipment. Without our Refrigeration Technicians, Manufacturing couldn't produce the volume and quality of products needed to serve our customers. Periodically, we have openings for Refrigeration Technicians in our Lakeland, FL and Lawrenceville and Atlanta, GA locations. Starting pay rates depend on a technician's knowledge and experience. Future pay increases are based on performance.

Qualifications we look for

The required qualifications differ depending on the specific equipment in each facility. They also differ depending on the level of responsibility for a particular position. We prefer to hire individuals who have work experience in a highly-automated manufacturing plant.

In general, however, most of our Refrigeration Technicians must be:

experienced with 480VAC 3 phase motor control systems
experienced in ammonia refrigeration maintenance and trouble-shooting electrical and PLC control systems
practiced in safe work habits
a team player with obvious enthusiasm, initiative, and pride in work
self-starters dedicated to continuous quality improvement
proficient in written and verbal communication skills
