Service Technician

Service Technician — Commercial Refrigeration, HVAC & Foodservice Equipment Experienced. Independent. Trusted on our most demanding accounts. Market: Tampa | Clearwater | Lakeland Full-Time | Field-Based | Healthcare & Foodservice Focus Not Every Technician Gets Trusted With These Accounts Coastline serves the customers who can't afford downtime — healthcare facilities where refrigerated medication and clinical equipment failures aren't an inconvenience, they're a patient safety issue, and national foodservice brands where a broken walk-in or a down combi-oven stops revenue the moment it happens. We're hiring an experienced Service Technician who can walk onto any one of those calls — refrigeration, HVAC, or foodservice equipment including combi ovens — and diagnose and repair it independently. No ramp-up period, no hand-holding. If you've spent years earning that kind of trust in this trade, we want to put you in front of the accounts that deserve it.

We look for: Extreme Ownership — you own the outcome of every call, not just the task list Relentless Pursuit of Excellence — you're still sharpening your craft, not coasting on experience High Integrity — customers and teammates can take your word at face value Magnetic Personality — someone healthcare and foodservice clients are glad to see show up Compensation & Benefits We pay hourly, with overtime opportunities, and pay is directly tied to performance.
