Appliance Repair Technician (Apprentice or Experienced, hiring incentive)
About the role
We've been fixing appliances since 1988, started in Doug and Anne Carlson's garage in Omaha, and are now one of the Midwest's most respected service companies. Their grandson Todd runs things today, and we've grown to multiple locations because manufacturers and dealers keep asking us to expand.
Responsibilities
- Diagnosing and repairing residential appliances in customers' homes
- Helping families avoid unnecessary replacements
- Communicating honestly—we give people options

- Other duties as assigned
Requirements
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record
- Clean criminal background check

Qualifications
No experience? No problem. We train from the ground up. We're looking for mechanically curious people who are good with customers and ready to learn a skilled trade. Our VP, trainer, and service managers all started as apprentices here—and Todd's worked as a tech himself. The people managing this company have done the job, so you'll never hear "that's not how it works" from someone who's never held a multimeter.
