Job Description

Shape What’s Next in Food Retail Manufacturing

Dover Food Retail (DFR) builds the equipment that keeps food safe and beautifully merchandised—from display cases and specialty products to full refrigeration and power systems—under trusted brands like HillPhoenix and Anthony. As part of Dover Corporation’s Refrigeration and Food Equipment segment (NYSE: DOV), we’re backed by a diversified global manufacturer with more than $7B in annual revenue. Our culture is rooted in creativity, customer-centric innovation, and a shared responsibility to help our customers win—what we call FRESH THINKING.

A day in this role

You arrive on the floor and review the maintenance log: a production line guard needs reinforcement, a section of ductwork requires repair, and a pipe run has a small leak. You set up, verify safety, and get to work:

  • Repair and maintain manufacturing equipment, structures, pipe systems, and ductwork.
  • Join, bond, and fuse metal parts using hand welding and flame-cutting tools—including arc welders, gas welders, and gas torches.
  • Inspect existing weldments to spot wear, stress, and potential failure points, then correct them.
  • Cut and trim metal and occasionally fabricate simple fixtures that keep production moving.

How you’ll work

  • Operate as a Support 2 team member—bringing foundational knowledge of procedures and tools (vocational/technical education may be helpful).
  • Work under moderate supervision with primarily routine tasks, making informed interpretations or procedural adjustments when needed.
  • Share updates that may require context or explanation to ensure alignment across maintenance and production teams.

Compensation

Pay Range: USD 24.00 - 26.00 Hourly. This position is eligible to earn commissions based on performance metrics and other criteria outlined in our applicable commissions plan. We consider several job-related, non-discriminatory factors when determining the pay rate for a position, including, but not limited to, the position’s responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, a candidate’s education/training, the position’s location, and the key skills needed for the position. Pay is one of the Total Rewards that we provide to compensate and recognize employees for their work.

Why DFR

Here, the partnerships we build with customers matter just as much as the products we manufacture. If you thrive on craftsmanship, teamwork, and making a visible impact on production uptime, you’ll feel at home.

We encourage applicants to apply only through official Dover and affiliated company career sites to avoid fraudulent recruiting activity.
