Commercial Refrigeration Service Technician

Why Technicians Move to Reed Restaurant Repair

If you are an experienced commercial refrigeration technician, you already know your trade is in high demand. What matters is the company backing you up. You shouldn't have to waste half your day chasing parts, deciphering chaotic dispatch notes, or dealing with an office that has never turned a wrench. At Reed Restaurant Repair, we back our technicians completely. We run tight dispatch routes across the Denver metro area, make sure parts and quotes move fast, and support you when you hit a difficult diagnosis in the field. Commercial kitchen refrigeration never stops, which means steady, reliable 40+ hour weeks, regular overtime opportunities, and absolutely zero seasonal slowdowns.

What You Will Work On

• Commercial refrigeration: walk‑in coolers and freezers, reach‑ins, prep tables, and display cases
• Commercial HVAC: rooftop units (RTUs), make‑up air systems, split systems, and exhaust hoods
• Commercial ice machines: Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Scotsman, and Follett (diagnostics, sanitation, and component repair)
• Foodservice equipment: gas, electric, and steam cooking equipment, warewashing, and specialty restaurant equipment (no prior hot‑side experience required; training provided)

A Typical Day in the Field

• Start from home: roll out in your fully stocked take‑home service van with daily calls dispatched directly to your tablet.
• Efficient routing: service restaurants, hospitality venues, and commercial kitchens across the Denver metro area without criss‑crossing town all day.
• Diagnostics & true repairs: troubleshoot low‑voltage wiring, mechanical failures, compressor burnouts, TXVs, and airflow issues. Perform real repairs, not quick band‑aids.
• Office & parts alignment: submit parts requests through your work order; our parts coordinator sources, quotes, and stages components so you can complete the repair without endless phone tag.
• Customer interaction: communicate directly and honestly with kitchen managers and restaurant owners to explain the repair and build trust.
• Clear wrap‑up: complete simple, accurate job notes on your tablet before heading to the next call or ending the day.
