Refrigeration technician
Commercial and industrial refrigeration service, maintenance and installation. Grocery stores, factories and arenas. You'll work with people who know the systems and take the time to show you how they work.
We respond to all serious applications, usually within five business days.
The role
You'll be on the road, on your own or with a team, visiting clients who depend on refrigeration to keep their businesses running. Troubleshooting, repairs, preventive maintenance and commissioning are all part of the job. When a system is complex, you take the time to understand it before recommending a solution.
Service calls are shared across the team, travel time is paid, and your truck is equipped based on what our technicians have asked for. You'll report to the service coordinator and have access to engineers and controls technicians when a system calls for additional expertise.
What a typical week looks like
Diagnose and repair commercial and industrial refrigeration systems, including compressor racks, condensing units, and ammonia and CO₂ systems, depending on the site.
Carry out scheduled preventive maintenance: pressure, superheat and subcooling readings, leak detection and component replacement.
Work with the projects team on commissioning and new installations.
Document each service visit: readings taken, components replaced and items to keep an eye on.
Handle emergency calls during your on-call rotation, with a colleague available by phone for support.
Before leaving, explain to the client what happened in clear, straightforward terms.
What you'll need
Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP) in refrigeration mechanics or recognized equivalent experience.
CCQ competency certificate or refrigeration qualification certificate.
Valid halocarbon handling certificate.
Valid driver's licence and clean driving record.
Spoken and written French to communicate with clients and write service reports.
What would be an asset
Experience in grocery stores, food processing facilities or arenas.
Knowledge of transcritical CO₂ or ammonia systems.
Comfort working with controls and automation (Danfoss, Carel, CPC).
Working knowledge of English for projects in Ontario.
What we offer
A family business founded in 1957, now led by the third generation. Large enough to take on substantial projects, small enough that people know your name, from the office to the job site.
Pay that reflects your qualifications
Reviewed annually. Travel time and service calls are paid.
Insurance and group RRSP
Comprehensive coverage after your probationary period, with employer RRSP contributions.
A well-equipped, recent-model truck
Set up based on what our technicians have asked for. Specialized tools and instruments are provided.
Paid ongoing training
CO₂, ammonia, controls and safety. We cover the training and pay you for your time.
Variety on the job
Grocery stores, factories, arenas and institutions across Quebec and Ontario. There's always something different to work on.
Support when you need it
A coordinator, engineers and experienced colleagues are available when a system calls for additional expertise.
