Commercial Kitchen Equipment Service Technician

Picture your day starting in Lewiston, ID. You load your tools, review the service queue, and head to a local restaurant where a fryer needs attention before the lunch rush. By mid-morning, you’re in Clarkston, WA, swapping a worn component on a dish machine. After lunch, you’re in Moscow, ID, completing preventative maintenance and documenting your work—then coordinating a specialized vendor for an exhaust system repair. If this hands-on variety sounds like your kind of workday, you’ll thrive here.
