Specializing in Refrigeration? Let’s Talk.

KC Mechanical is looking for an experienced Refrigeration Technician to join our growing team.

If you’ve worked on commercial coolers, freezers, walk-ins, and reach-ins—and want steady, local work with a company that respects your trade—we might be the right fit.

We’re a locally owned Vermont business with nearly 30 years serving restaurants, schools, and food service operators across Chittenden, Lamoille, Washington, Franklin, Orange, and Addison Counties.
We’re not corporate—we’re a small team that supports our technicians, values craftsmanship, and does business the right way.

What We Offer

• Take-home company van – no daily shop returns unless you need parts
  
  
• Local work only – no long hauls or out-of-state travel
  
  
• Dedicated support team – we handle scheduling, dispatch, parts, and warranty claims
  
  
• Professional trust – no micromanaging, just clear communication and respect
  
  
• Tool support – bring your basics, we’ll help with the rest
  
  

Who We’re Looking For

• 1–3 years of experience in commercial refrigeration or HVAC/R
  
  
• Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills
  
  
• Clean, professional work habits and solid communication skills
  
  
• Comfortable using iPads or service software for ticketing and documentation
  
  
• High School Diploma or GED
  
  
• Able to lift 60 lbs, push 100 lbs, and pull 50 lbs
  
  

Experience with commercial kitchen equipment is a plus—but we’ll train the right person with solid refrigeration experience.

Position Details

• Full-time W2 employment (not subcontracted)
  
  
• Competitive pay based on experience
  
  
• Paid onboarding and manufacturer-level training
  
  

Benefits That Work for You

• Medical, Dental, Life Insurance, and HRA account
  
  
• Company van, gas card, and incidentals card
  
  
• Company-issued iPad and equipment
  
  
• 401(k) with company match
  
  
• Paid vacation, sick days, and floating holidays
  
  
• Overtime and on-call pay opportunities
  
  

If you’re a refrigeration tech who takes pride in quality work and wants to join a steady, supportive Vermont team, KC Mechanical is the place for you.
